“The global count of active mobile subscriptions reached 6.7 Billion at the end of 2012, and yes, this summer we will hit the ‘mobile moment’ ie that point in time when for the first time ever on this planet, a consumer technology will match the human population in size. The planet has 7.1 Billion people and as we grew subscriptions 14% last year, its rather clear we will hit that 7.1 Billion number around the summer of 2013.”

It’s been over 20 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Young people in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Georgia are facing unemployment, democratic pressure, and the legacy of repression, while being influenced by the West, punk music, and the Pussy Riot trials. PRX sent a reporting team from the Seattle Globalist to explore the tensions in these countries, described by The Atlantic as ‘uneasily suspended’ between two political eras.
Join host Brooke Gladstone for Generation Putin, an in-depth look at the millennial generation in the post-Soviet states.
Produced by the Seattle Globalist. Presented by PRX, the Public Radio Exchange, with support from the Open Society Foundations.
Public radio stations can get Generation Putin for broadcast. -
During the last three years of our run, we made some spectacular radio. This is the behind the scenes story of the show, and how we eventually developed a method, a technique, a….craft, that raised the simple long-form interview to something greater. We called it: the Talkumentary.

Version 3.0 also makes the app even more usable from a listener standpoint. It sports a new visual redesign and PRX claims it has been rewritten to improve the app’s performance. What gets me excited, though, is the fact that you can now download episodes of shows so you can listen to them offline instead of being stuck streaming all the time. This alone is a feature worth downloading the update for—the app (like the others in this writeup) is free, so if you love public radio, go get it.
