AIR Spotlight PRX + Audible.com Transcript

[reposted from the AIR press room]

The theory and practice of evolving audio distribution platforms -- what it means for the content and for the listener -- in the January AIR Member Spotlight transcript.

PRX's critical audience is stations, and we're working on a variety of improvements that will help PDs find what they are looking for and introduce them to new work they might not otherwise have known about.
-- Jake Shapiro, PRX

People chose what's easiest to use and most reliable, so if you like to rent videos as well as record on your VCR, you might buy some radio content from Audible.com and record some directly.
-- Kerry Donahue, Audible.com

The PRX & Audible.com / Apple iTunes collaboration is great because producers should not have to go through me or any other gatekeeper PDs to have their work heard.
-- Dan Hirschi, WETS-FM
