Find it. Hear it. Air it.

It's always a pleasure to hear new voices. That's
why PRX is pleased to welcome WFMT to the site. This
programming powerhouse has just posted a special
with acclaimed soprano Anna Netrebko.
About 180-degrees from this classical music piece is
the profile of Jaye Ulak, a 20-year-old Yup'ik
Eskimo who lives near the Bering Sea. He is an
amateur rapper, and he has a lot in common with many
young people living in the lower-48.
Have someone you want to introduce to public radio
through PRX? Let us know. We're always open . .

Louise Frank & Matt DeStefano / WFMT, 60:00
