Congrats to WNYC and its corps of Radio Rookies for winning a Peabody Award today. The rookies are high-school students from New York City who put together compelling first-person essays about their lives and the world around them, unfiltered by the demands of commericalism and slick sound bites.

It's the very notion of what public radio could and should be. The Peabody was for the class of 2005, but you can hear the latest batch, which ran in February, at http://www.wnyc.org/radiorookies/
