Paper Rex won the VCT 2026 Pacific Stage 1 Championship. But while esports enthusiasts cheer for that particular acronym, the podcasting world is focused on the original PRX—the public radio distributor—which is quietly reinforcing its footprint in independent audio.
During a feed drop on Revisionist History for the series Scene on Radio, host John Biewen detailed the extensive production team behind their new project, "The News," before giving credit to their distribution partner. Biewen concluded the credits by stating, "The show is distributed by our friends at PRX."
The shoutout highlights how PRX continues to serve as a reliable backbone for prestige, grant-funded journalism. At a time when commercial podcast networks are facing severe consolidation, the steady hand of public radio distribution remains a vital alternative for creators who prioritize editorial independence over corporate scale.
