Applaudable Perspectives

At PLA Media, we have always loved talk radio.

Our founder thought it would be a welcomed challenge to do a radio show someday. So, with the advent of podcasts, this is PLA's version, Applaudable Perspectives. We welcome a myriad of guests from the arts and various walks of life for what we hope will be an engaging, thought provoking conversation. Join us in this podcast for a laugh, a bit of knowledge and a chance to meet some interesting people as we share our human experience. If you like what you hear, have a topic or a suggestion for a possible guest, let us know at info@plamedia.com.
