You may be familiar with beta.prx.org - the site that provides public-facing landing pages for content in PRX Exchange, and Dovetail Podcast content for listeners who are not signed into the Exchange. Currently, if a user navigates directly to a beta.prx.org URL, they will see Beta, and if a user that is not logged in to Exchange navigates to an exchange.prx.org URL, they are redirected to Beta. It’s served us well for a number of years, but now it’s time to sunset the service.
So what happens next? We are replacing the landing pages with a service that will redirect any traffic intended for beta.prx.org URLs to alternate locations. Exchange pieces and series will be redirected to Exchange, even for not-logged-in users.
Traffic for any Dovetail podcasts on Beta will be redirected to a play.prx.org listen page. Traffic for any Dovetail episodes will be redirected to that episode's designated web URL. People who are not logged in will still be able to listen, and traffic will still be counted in all cases.
Traffic to just beta.prx.org will be redirected to www.prx.org.
