May 12, 2015 by Nathan Bowden Leave a Comment

The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation announced today it is providing $1 million in new funding to Public Radio Exchange (PRX) for its Radiotopia podcast network project. The Knight Foundation also helped provide initial funding for the network, which PRX launched a little over a year ago with the goal of establishing “a model for sustaining quality, story-driven public radio shows.”

Jake Shapiro, CEO of PRX, made today’s announcement on the Knight Foundation blog.

Radiotopia currently has a lineup of 11 podcasts, including 99% Invisible, The Truth, and Love + Radio, with new shows to be added in the months ahead according to a press release issued by PRX.
