Portland Radio Project

Mission

PRP’s mission is to elevate local artists and organizations through streaming, broadcasting and podcasting, engaging new generations of arts lovers and community supporters. Recognizing the historic imbalance of power in broadcasting, we are leaders in the movement toward a more equitable media landscape. 

Bottom Line for Portland

We create opportunities for emerging local musicians, especially underserved artists, to debut their releases and gain performing experience, knowing they are supported by an award-winning arts nonprofit. Through our podcast co-op we are an outlet for diverse perspectives and expressions, highlighting compelling social issues. By supporting our work to uplift local artists, you contribute to PRP's mission and to the enhancement of Portland-area culture.

Quote

“I was just doing a little media housekeeping and listened to our (interview) session. It’s one of the best, most succinct pieces on the last album, so thanks for making that happen. It’ll be very useful for some classrooms I’m sure.”  Julian Saporiti (AKA No No Boy), featured in a Drop-In Session, PRP's local artist interview platform. 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We at Portland Radio Project are a reflection of the diverse community we serve. We actively seek viewpoints from varied sources in our ongoing effort to better culture ourselves, as well as our listeners. We continuously align our organization with increasingly diverse communities in the Portland area and proactively examine every programming decision through a DEI lens to create a stronger, more creative media experience.
