Eric Goldberg

Presenting the new sound of PRI’s The World

Music

The familiar song that starts PRI’s The World won’t be quite as familiar today. Our signature tune is getting an update after 18 years, and composer Eric Goldberg explains how he gave a fresh sound to our theme.

Here’s how Israel gets its music and news — from teenaged soldiers

Media

The radio stations that dominate Israel’s airwaves have one thing in common: They’re run by Army Radio, which supplies the country with its most popular news and music channels. That means young recruits are supplying Israelis with some of their biggest and most important stories.

PRI’s “Studio 360 with Kurt Andersen” explores art’s creative influence and transformative power in everyday life.
