You are listening to youarelistening.to

Maybe you’ve noticed some strange sounds of police band chatter on the Remix. Those are samples from my current audio obsession youarelistening.to. I produced a story about the site for my own radio show 99% Invisible a few weeks back. You Are Listening to Los Angeles appeared online on March 6, 2011 and I was hooked instantly. The combination of the police scanner and ambient music is an intriguing, and distinctly live, experience (not unlike Remix- it’s a stream, it keeps going). URL2LA’s other appeal is its simple and elegant execution. There are three component parts: a police radio stream from Radio Reference (radioreference.com), a pre-screened ambient music playlist from SoundCloud, and a cool photo from Flickr. Each element is from some other source, that never could have envisioned that this is the way their content would be used. I took little samples of the LA, SF, Montreal and Deep Thoughts stream and cut them up into Remix interstitials. They are a little window into stories floating by in the air all around us.

WREM 88.7FM Canton, NY!!!

Monday, May 16th, 2011 | Uncategorized | No Comments

Today Remix went live on WREM 88.7FM in Canton, NY. WREM is a brand new acquisition of North Country Public Radio, owned and operated by St. Lawrence University. Take a look at their spiffy Remix webpage, which has current and upcoming playlists, links to each story, a feed of the Public Radio Remix blog, and more.

WREM joins KPBZ in Spokane, WA as our second terrestrial station carrying Public Radio Remix.

We want to thank North Country Public Radio Program Director Jackie Sauter, Chief Engineer Bob Sauter and General Manager Ellen Rocco for making this launch as easy as pie. We’re thrilled!

Same Great Taste

Our 24/7 stream of juicy good storytelling — formerly known as REMIX Radio and formerly broadcast on XM 136 — underwent a few changes last week.

New Satellite Channel: 123

The first thing to know is that our XM channel has changed to XM 123. Not bad numbers, right?

We’re not the only ones with a new channel.  After Sirius and XM merged in 2008, SiriusXM has finally remapped their channel lineup to integrate stations from both networks into a single program schedule. It all went down last week.

New Name: Public Radio Remix

To go along with our shiny new SiriusXM Channel, PRX is also announcing a new name for our 24/7 stream of public radio goodness: Public Radio Remix. We liked our old name, REMIX Radio, but rather than eschew our public radio heritage, we want to embrace it. We are Public Radio Remix, public radio that sounds and feels decidedly different, but is still very much, public radio. Public radio rocks.

Although our blog has moved to publicradioremix.org and our XM station is now parked at XM 123, we are still streaming from the same place online and broadcasting on the air in Spokane, WA on KPBZ. Not listening yet? Click that orange player.

Say hello to the new PRX embeddable audio player. It was launched today along with sharing options for social media which allow both producers and listeners to share full-length playable PRX pieces on Facebook.

Now, if you particularly enjoyed a story you heard from the PRX catalog on Remix, and the producer allows it, you can stream it directly on your blog or Facebook page. Pretty cool.
