Podcast #43 – NPR: When Disrupted, Go Local


Listen Later


A recent Slate article about the podcast challenge to NPR added fuel to the debate about how the public broadcaster should respond to this disruption. Paul jumps into the fray to posit that superserving affiliates and local listeners is key to NPR’s future, while Eric argues that calls for a shift in how coverage is done.

In College Radio Watch Jennifer Waits reports back from the University of California Radio Network conference, held in the beautiful environs of KZSC in Santa Cruz.
