What do delegates at the RNC expect to hear from John McCain tonight as they nominate the Senator for president? That story tops our podcast, plus an interview with a sheriff who has begun using chain gangs, a postcard from the Minnesota State Fair, and a report from Detroit on the resignation of mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his plea of guilty to obstruction of justice.
There's way too much audio in the world to catch everything that comes out of your clock radio. Public Radio Redux shines a spotlight on stories that makes you turn and look at your speakers. It's a curated list, a place to make comments, and a blog about making radio. Consider it the espresso in your daily public radio fix.
Public Radio Redux was started by two friends who bonded over the joys and pain of making radio. Jen Nathan and Erin Mishkin met at the Salt Institute of Documentary Studies and quickly bonded over a shared love of podcasts and bloody marys. Rather than boring their friends with another unrehearsed live re-enactment of their favorite radio shows, they started this blog.
