Current's The Pub

Matt Martinez of KPLU in Tacoma, Wash., shares what he thinks others can learn from his station's shockingly successful bid for self-preservation and independence. Also, the GM of KUOW, at one time planning to buy KPLU, discusses lessons from the year-long saga. Plus, host Adam Ragusea tries to diagnose the cause of a dramatic spike in NPR newsmagazine ratings, and he visits a Next Generation Radio boot camp to find out why even some of the young people of color who would attend such a training aren't big NPR listeners.
