    Radio Power with WNXP’s Jason Moon Wilkins & Emily Young

    Every few years there will be an inevitable outcry that “Radio is dead.” Fortunately, the team at Nashville’s WNXP 91.1 FM didn’t get the memo. The public radio station launched in late 2020; not exactly an ideal time for anything but the station has flourished in the years since. Devalued is honored to host the station’s Program Director and Brand Manager Jason Moon Wilkins and Events Director (and lifelong Nashvillian) Emily Young. The duo provide real insights about how radio fits into the modern music industry, how they consciously work to lift the community and how artists can directly benefit from radio, even today! Our conversation is delightful evidence that the headlines are wrong; radio isn’t dead and, in fact, is possibly more accessible than ever. Find more from WNXP!
