On our All Songs Considered blog we recently asked listeners to tell us about a favorite band that few people have ever heard. Think of it as "a band to call your own" -- an artist or group you love and want to keep all to yourself, even though you know it'd be cool if they got the attention they deserve. We got a lot of suggestions. On this edition of All Songs Considered we share some of the standouts. You can read about more "bands to call your own" on our blog.
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.
