Each week on The Tonearm Podcast, Lawrence Peryer talks with musicians, composers, producers, authors, and critics about their process and craft. Since 2020, he has hosted more than 300 episodes, and PRX now makes a radio version available to public and community stations free of charge.
Ask Your Station
Program directors pay attention to listener requests. If you’d like to hear The Tonearm on your local station, send its program director a short note. Here’s one you can copy:
Hi,
I’m a listener, and I’d love to hear The Tonearm on your station. It’s a weekly hour of conversation with musicians, composers, producers, authors, and critics, and it’s free to stations through PRX: exchange.prx.org/series/61166-the-tonearm
Thanks for considering it.
If your station picks up the show, let us know at radio@thetonearm.com, and we’ll welcome them on our channels and in the newsletter.
Other Ways to Help
- Know a program director? An introduction from you carries more weight than a cold email from us. Write to radio@thetonearm.com, and we’ll take it from there.
- Volunteer at a community station? Put the show in front of whoever sets the schedule.
- Support the show directly through Support Us.
For Programmers
The Tonearm is free on the PRX Exchange. Each episode fits a standard 59-minute hour, with a five-minute news hole and two floating one-minute cutaways. The show clock and two 30-second promos are available on request, and Lawrence will record a liner with your call letters.
Questions about carrying the show? Write to Lawrence at radio@thetonearm.com.
