May is a commemoration-palooza: mom, moon missions,
soldiers, jazz, Asian and Pacific immigrants. Go
ahead, give your listeners a reason to pause and
enjoy some radio specials.
Plus, producer Sandy Tolan has a new book out about
Israel and Palestine--hear his doc on the topic. Why
only comedian Jonathan Katz could make his illness
funny. And
despite the bright sunshine, indulge in some noir
storytelling.
Slow down as it gets warm? Nahh...

BEYOND BROADCAST
This Friday and Saturday we encourage you to turn
your browsers to a event PRX helped organize with
the Berkman Center at Harvard University called Beyond Broadcast:
Reinventing Public Media in a Participatory
Culture. The conference brings together public
broadcasters, social media makers, and technology
developers to discuss, debate, and demonstrate the
future of public media. You can attend 'virtually'
by using Second Life, contributing links and
questions, and much more. 'See' you there.
