PRX is designed to create very high quality audio for sale to and broadcast by American public radio stations. We're talking about collecting lower quality podcasts for free sharing and exchange. While I agree that we shouldn't reinvent the wheel, I worry a bit that we'd really be shoehorning our goals within PRX's infrastructure. It wouldn't be a ton of work to create a feed of GV-themed podcasts, if we knew where to find them... I’m not sure the PRX umbrella is the right one, guys.

But instead of building a new aggregator, would not it make sense to try to somehow put it under the PRX umbrella? That would also allow free access, but could also serve as a new means for spreading the word about what's happening in the world. Of course I'm not sure what Jake's take on this, but it could be a topic for discussion on Tuesday Luncheon maybe. Just my 2 cents.
