Public Radio International (PRI)

Public Radio International (PRI) merged with PRX in 2018 to form a combined nonprofit media company doing business as “PRX.” Since its inception in 1983, PRI has been a creative force expanding public radio through alternative programming, with an emphasis on international and cultural topics. The organization’s ambition -- to create a more informed, empathetic and connected world by sharing powerful stories, empowers people to enrich their lives and the world around them.The combination of the two organizations brings depth and scale across content, talent and technology. Founded in 2003, PRX was named one of Fast Company’s "Ten Most Innovative Companies in Media" in both 2015 and 2017, reflecting our critical leadership -- as both a technology and content creator -- as podcasting has emerged into a mainstream medium. Today, our award-winning portfolio ranges from iconic public radio programs like The World, This American Life, The Takeaway, The Moth Radio Hour and Reveal, to a growing body of podcast-first productions including the Radiotopia network, home to 99% Invisible, Ear Hustle and Criminal. PRX works in partnership with hundreds of public radio stations and thousands of independent producers. Since 2016, our work has also included a substantial training program, anchored by two community-based podcast studios, which is helping journalists and storytellers from across the country and around the world.Each month we reach more than 28.5 million listeners and generate in excess of 70 million podcast downloads per month. Our belief is that strong media is anchored in journalism, strengthened with diverse voices, and amplified by innovative technology. PRX is headquartered in Boston with offices in Minneapolis and New York and a content network that spans the globe.
