Generation PRX is turning two. We're walking, we're talking, we're past the awkward teething stage. And we're feeling awfully proud. Here are a few of our milestones:

  • Generation PRX has arrived. On MySpace, that is. Come be our friend: http://myspace.com/generationprx
  • Over 40 youth radio groups take part in the project. See the growing list of participants.
  • More than 320, yes, 320 youth-produced pieces are now on PRX. And listeners are noticing. Stations have licensed this groundbreaking work over 280 times, reaching hundreds of thousands of public radio listeners.
  • The Generation PRX Youth Editorial Board and Youth Advisory Board: youth leaders writing reviews, discovering new work, and showing the project where to go next.
  • YouthCast podcast on alt.NPR and Signal, the Gen PRX newsletter: helping spread the word about youth-made radio
