I am a voracious consumer of PRX content. I adore series such as Short Docs which never fail to interest and satisfy.

On the other hand, I don't think they actually accomplish what all of us want. That is, a celebration of the aural panorama largely free from paeans to what they suppose are the plights of what are actually very small slivers of the society.
