The Sound of Young America is coming to PRI

Well, how's this for great news?

The Sound of Young America is now distributed nationwide by Public Radio International.

PRI will begin offering The Sound to its member stations July 3rd, and we've already got one commitment: you'll hear the show Saturdays on XM Public Radio at noon pacific, three Eastern.

PRI's team will be offering the show to stations, talking with them about it, pitching it to them. For this venture to be a success, those stations need to be convinced that taking a chance on a public radio show about things that are awesome is a good bet for them. I think you can help us with this, but we'll talk about that later.

This is certainly the first step in a new era for the show. In many ways, things will stay the same. Everything will still come from me. The podcast will stay the same, the feed will stay the same. (And I haven't really been kicked into a new income bracket, unfortunately. )

The most important thing for me right now is to say thank you, to all of you who've supported me and the show for months and years. This has always been a labor of love, and it wasn't just my love that was fueling it. If that sounds unbelievably corny, it's because it is, but that doesn't make it untrue.

So, onward and upward, huh? We've got a big summer planned, starting with the live show in LA on June 30th. Let's get cracking!
