Announcer’s eye-view at Cape station

Empires, yes: plural. Jay Allison is an institutional instigator and prolific producer. Here’s a few core pubradio foundational orgs he helped found:

• AIR- Association of Independents in Radio
• SoundPrint- the longest-running non-fiction documentary series in public radio.
• Atlantic Public Media- a production and training organization, focusing on public media.
• Cape and Islands Radio- Massachusetts listener-supported public radio stations.
• Transom- Showcase & Workshop for New Public Radio
• PRX- Public Radio Exchange, distribution, peer review, and licensing of radio pieces
• NPR This I Believe- Engaging people in writing, sharing, and discussing the core values and beliefs that guide their daily lives

Here’s an ancient piece of his, posted on the Transom Inspiration page, “Rejection”:

Gathering of the Generals: Samantha Broun- Nature Stories Podcast, Emily Botein- Stories from the Heart of the Land, Jay, Viki Merrick- Atlantic Public Media

I spent a few days this month in Wood’s hole observing the emperor in action. Typical day includes phone-coaching some Alaska kid in an AK studio reading his I Believe essay, working w/ Emily Botein on their new Nature Conservancy funded series Stories from the Heart of the Land, adapting his bicycle to my much-smaller height so I can mic-while-biking for said series, writing his chapter of a new book on pubradio, polishing production w/ Viki Merrick of the new HV special “Father Figures,” getting a BBQ ready for his kids, and checking out that night’s squid fishing.

Oh, one more thing, Jay also likes the bikes w/ big engines:
