One of the attractions of radio listening is that you produce the accompanying images in your own head. And, of course, you can listen and drive at the same time. Increasingly, however, public radio producers are adding a video dimension to their work for online audiences. Some of the results are outstanding, some are OK, some not so much. But let me introduce you to some of the outstanding.<\/p>\n

NPR Music has been producing and curating great music-oriented video for a number of years now. If you are a weekend visitor to NCPR, you will often find a great (often new) artist showcased in a Tiny Desk Concert<\/a>, or a Studio Session<\/a>, or a Live in Concert<\/a> feature. NPR Music will be at SXSW in Austin<\/a> next week, streaming live video from a number or top performers. Folk Alley has also featured some great music video recorded and produced by Beehive Productions<\/a>, which has a studio in Saranac Lake. And NPR has used embedded video to flesh out many of its radio features online, such as these current stories: one on samba music in Rio during Carnival<\/a>, and one on music of the Santeria religion in Cuba<\/a>.<\/p>\n
