San Diego-based Slacker, the online radio streaming service, is in a major expansion of its content today, as public radio broadcaster American Public Media said it launched a number of new, interactive stations on Slacker. The broadcaster--which publishes Marketplace and The Current, two popular public radio programs--said its programming will be available for free on the Slacker service.
