Public media organization PRX today announced new public radio distribution partnerships with “Left, Right & Center” from KCRW and “No Small Endeavor” from Tokens Media. Beginning July 1, PRX will represent each program in the public radio marketplace, providing support in areas including public radio distribution and advertising sales.
The timely political discussion show “Left, Right & Center” from KCRW in Los Angeles currently airs on multiple public radio stations, helping to parse today’s highly consequential political era. Exploring the enduring subject of what it means to live a good life, “No Small Endeavor” airs on WPLN public radio in Nashville, Tennessee and will now be introduced to stations nationwide.
“We’re beyond excited to represent and expand the reach of these two distinctive shows,” said Sean Nesbitt, Senior Director of Industry Partnerships at PRX. “Each offers audiences a highly valuable public radio listening experience. Plus, partnering with KCRW and Tokens Media will create tangible opportunities for us to engage with listeners across platforms.”
Each show will be available to public radio stations to air as weekly one-hour programs:
“Left, Right & Center” from KCRW––Award-winning journalist and former “Morning Edition” co-host David Greene hosts this trusted, energetic, and informative politics and discussion-driven news show. Joining Greene on the program are former Democratic strategist Mo Elleithee and former Republican strategist Sarah Isgur, as well as special guests bringing a wide spectrum of viewpoints and expertise each week. All the while, “Left, Right & Center” serves as a civilized yet provocative antidote to self-contained opinion bubbles of political debate. “Left, Right & Center” first debuted in 1996 and has grown into a premier political discussion destination for listeners.
“No Small Endeavor” from Tokens Media––What does it mean to live a good life? What are the habits and practices that facilitate human flourishing? Hosted by Lee C. Camp, “No Small Endeavor” features best-selling authors, iconic artists, and world-renowned thinkers courageous and impassioned in pursuing questions pivotal to a meaningful human experience. Lee C. Camp is an author and award-winning teacher as a Professor of Theology & Ethics at Lipscomb University in Nashville. The award-winning show has recently featured guests including iconic actors Martin Sheen (“The West Wing”) and Rainn Wilson (“The Office”), and illustrious author Gretchen Rubin (“The Happiness Project”) is upcoming.
Both “Left, Right & Center” from KCRW and “No Small Endeavor” from Tokens Media will also continue to reach listeners free on-demand across all major podcast platforms as PRX will also serve as podcast distributor.
