Marfa Public Radio Puts You to Sleep

Marfa Public Radio Puts You to Sleep

Marfa Public Radio is literally never asleep. It operates 24/7 (except when lightning strikes) and there’s so much that goes on behind the scenes to make this happen– fundraising, compliance, protocols, emergency response, maintenance…the list goes on and on.

Do you lay awake wondering what FCC compliance entails? Ever wondered what NPR’s code of journalistic ethics involves for the newsroom?

We may never be able to explain what it takes to operate the station, but we can put you to sleep trying to.

For this fall membership drive we bring you Marfa Public Radio Puts You to Sleep. It’s a sleep podcast wherein we read you the boring documents essential to our jobs, in the hopes we might lull you into slumber.

We do actually hope that you fall asleep listening to this, but when you wake up, help us continue to read our boring documents and keep Marfa Public Radio awake by donating to the station at marfapublicradio.org/donate.

Produced by Zoe Kurland and Christopher Dyer. Our executive producer is Elise Pepple.
