(Partial) show notes:
"I’ve come to the conclusion that a digital-first public audio system must perpetuate three elements of the old public radio system we have now:
1) Production and reporting capacity is dispersed across the whole country
2) Popular national programs effectively subsidize less-popular, local programs
3) Organizations in large, wealthy communities effectively subsidize organizations in small, poor communities.
I can’t imagine a digital-first NPR doing any of that without its stations. So on this week’s episode of The Pub, I’m asking three of the smartest station leaders I know: How do you envision NPR and stations maintaining a mutually beneficial coexistence as the primacy of radio fades?"
