Since the XM transition, we’ve been unable to offer The Sound of Young America, but that doesn’t mean I can’t put it on the blog! My Hero Ian MacKaye (that’s his full name) took to the stage with Jesse when he was on the road in DC. Capital job, Thorn!

The Sound of Young America

And the winner is…

Our friends over at the Third Coast Audio Festival have announced the full list of winners in their annual Third Coast/Richard H. Driehaus Competition. It’s an amazing collection of stories, and for the next couple of weeks you can hear the FULL PIECES online at their website. The Director’s Choice selection, which I highlighted earlier,  is one of my new favorites. Gregory Warner’s Miner, from the consistently awesome Working series (all of which can be heard on PRX: Remix Radio), won the Best News Feature Award. The great Michael May took away the big prize with his amazing story My Way or the FBI Way for This American Life. A really great group this year. Check them all out.

The national broadcast featuring excerpts and interviews with the winners is on public radio stations around the country, and can be heard by on demand at PRX. Just sign up! And leave a comment while you’re at it. It’ll be the best two hours of listening you’ll have this year, guaranteed.
