After careful consideration, we have decided to postpone this event. We are working closely with the Oberon to find an alternate date and look forward to updating you soon. The theater will reach out to you directly about next steps, if you have already purchased a ticket. Thank you!
Join PRX and Reveal’s Al Letson for a dynamic evening of storytelling featuring six can’t-miss podcasts from public media stations from across the country.
The six teams – hailing all the way from San Diego to Murray, Kentucky – have spent the past 20 weeks rigorously developing their podcasts as part of PRX’s innovative podcast accelerator – Project Catapult. And YOU get to be the first to see (and hear) them unveiled!
There will be custom cocktails, a killer playlist, a disco ball – the whole shebang. Oh, and did we mention Al Letson will be hosting??
Come discover six new podcasts you’ll need to add to your queue in 2020!
$10 General Admission
Maybe you want to go beyond the headlines at the U.S.-Mexico border and learn more about the creativity, beauty and art happening there. Or maybe you want to follow the investigation into the disappearance of a young girl in Washington, D.C., and how it’s changing the way the city treats homelessness. There’s a little something for everyone!

Meet the Host
In 2008, Al Letson created, hosted, and executive produced State of the Re:Union (SOTRU). The program aired on more than 300 NPR stations, receiving numerous awards including a Peabody Award (2014) and three consecutive National Edward R. Murrow Awards (2012, 2013, 2014).
In 2015, SOTRU ended production and Letson joined the Center for Investigative Reporting to help launch and host public radio's first hour-long investigative journalism show, Reveal. Reveal’s pilot, The "VA’s Opiate Overload," won a Peabody Award (2013). Since then, Reveal has gained a large audience and is heard on over 400 public radio stations and gets over 1 million downloads a month.
