A Portfolio We’re Proud to Represent
As a programming distributor to public radio stations all over the United States, PRX is intentional about the broadcast programs we represent to help public media look and sound like the entire public across the country—not just the coasts.
PRX is one of the top audio distributors in the U.S. and worldwide.
Our distribution team is your go-to for all questions about PRX distribution services, troubleshooting, and technical advice. We’re experts in our field and ready to share our knowledge.
The PRX Exchange is the world’s largest online audio distribution marketplace with over 200,000 published works offering many options to serve your local audience best.
The Exchange features an automated delivery service, allowing daily, hourly, or weekly programs into your station’s automation system.
The Exchange is the most efficient and cost-effective way to distribute shows to public radio stations.
PRX Networks is a private part of the Exchange with sharing tools created for fast-moving producers and stations to share and store audio, pictures, and text between newsrooms. Networks powers Local Journalism Centers (LJC) and stations collaborating across geographic regions or topic areas.

Training to Support Your Entire Station
Customized training, accelerators, and resources
PRX Training has helped multiple public media stations launch new shows, expand audience reach, explore new revenue sources, and build a bench of talent on both sides of the mic.
WAMU in Washington D.C. and WFYI in Indianapolis reached millions nationwide with their podcasts produced during Project Catapult, a podcast accelerator developed by PRX.
In the same accelerator, Wyoming Public Radio, KPBS, Louisville Public Media, and East Tennessee PBS deepened their relationships with their listeners by creating podcasts rooted in their communities.
PRX has consulted and led one-on-one workshops with KERA in Dallas, KCUR in Kansas City, KJZZ in Phoenix, and WFUV in New York.
The PRX Training Team offers customized training and resources to media creators and organizations of all sizes around the world, including mentorship-based podcast accelerator programs, tailored workshops, consultancies, webinars, and more.
Meet the team, set up a consultation, or learn more about what the PRX training team can offer at training.prx.org, or reach us any time at trainingteam@prx.org.
The PRX Podcast Garage
The PRX Podcast Garages are community recording studios, event spaces, and classrooms for workshops, networking, and listening events. Our flagship Garage opened in Boston in 2016, and in 2021, we partnered with KQED in San Francisco to open a space within the station’s new headquarters: the PRX Podcast Garage at KQED.
We want to work with you!
PRX is open to exploring new partnerships with stations across the system, whether through “brick and mortar” spaces or pop-up, virtual, or other collaborations, regardless of size and access to studios or space available.
Make a commitment to inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility with PRX
PRX believes a strong commitment to inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA) is central to our mission and the health of public media. We approach our work and journey through a lens of equity and inclusion while recognizing and respecting that learning also lies ahead. We also acknowledge that our work with stations builds strength and resilience across the public media system.
Training and consultation
We now offer IDEA consultations to stations that have identified this as a need and are looking for structure and support. Services will be provided on a sliding cost scale and customized for each station's needs.
We offer rigorous assessment and co-created roadmaps to address areas of opportunities found during an appraisal. We also provide support for employee resource groups and diversity councils. Our coach approach is free of judgment while building towards greater inclusion.
Our IDEA efforts a led by Dr. Byron Green, PRX’s Senior Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Reach out to learn more or explore a collaboration with PRX!
