Since 1995,  NPR has been producing an radio show and podcast series. "Mostly we do journalism, but an entertaining kind of journalism that’s built around plot. In other words, stories! Our favorite sorts of stories have compelling people at the center of them, funny moments, big feelings, surprising plot twists, and interesting ideas. Like little movies for radio."

Mostly we do journalism, but an entertaining kind of journalism that's built around plot. In other words, stories! Our favorite sorts of stories have compelling people at the center of them, funny moments, big feelings, surprising plot twists, and interesting ideas. Like little movies for radio.

Our show is heard by 2.2 million listeners each week on over 500 public radio stations in the U.S., with another 2.5 million people downloading each episode as a podcast. We're usually one of the five top podcasts on iTunes. We're also heard on radio stations in Ireland and Germany, and all across Canada and Australia.

If you're brand new to our show, you might start with the list of episodes our host Ira Glass put together called " New to This American Life?" We've been on the air since 1995, so you can also browse through our Recommended lists or our entire archive of more than 600 episodes.

We view the show as an experiment. We try things. There was the show where we taped for 24 hours in an all-night restaurant. And the show where we put a band together from musicians' classified ads. And the show where every story had been pitched by our own parents, who - wonderful as they are - are not very talented at spotting good radio stories. We did an episode on Afrofuturism and an episode wandering around Paris with David Sedaris. Nikole Hannah-Jones reported an episode telling the recent history of Michael Brown's high school in Ferguson, Missouri, and making the case for an educational policy that's been out of favor for years: school desegregation. One of our most popular episodes explained the 2008 economic collapse as it was starting to unfold. This episode spawned another entire program called Planet Money. We've done live shows onstage, and you can watch some of them, including one where Lin-Manuel Miranda turned one of our stories into a mini-musical.

We've spun off two podcast series, Serial and S-Town. More are on the way. For two seasons on Showtime, in 2007 and 2008, we made a TV version of the radio show, which won three Emmys (you can find it on Amazon Prime, iTunes, and Hulu), and then we asked to be taken off television. We've produced several films, including Mike Birbiglia's Sleepwalk with Me and Don't Think Twice, and Come Sunday, which is based on the " Heretics " episode of our show.

Back in 1999, the American Journalism Review declared that the program was "in the vanguard of a journalistic revolution" and since then, a generation of podcasts and radio shows have sprung up - Radiolab, Invisibilia, StartUp, Reply All, Snap Judgment, Love + Radio, Heavyweight - building on the lessons we learned about narrative journalism and inventing all sorts of things we never could've.

Our show is produced in collaboration with WBEZ Chicago and delivered to stations by PRX, Public Radio Exchange.

Podcast Search Engine

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
* Other websites / apps may claim that they have way more than 3,181,881 podcasts in their database. This is because they inflate the number by including A LOT of 1) podcasts that were already deleted long time ago; 2) super low-quality podcasts (e.g., no episodes at all, only one 10-second episode in the RSS feed for testing, or machine-generated audio); 3) non-audio contents distributed via rss (e.g., RSS feeds with only PDF files, not audio). On the other hand, we deploy automatic scripts (24/7) and human moderators (daily) to clean up data. We try our best to minimize the number of such bad "podcasts" in our database.

Investigative Journalism

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A high-school senior named Hae Min Lee disappeared one day after school in 1999, in Baltimore County, Maryland. A month later, her body was found in a city park. She'd been strangled. Her 17-year-old ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was arrested for the crime, and within a year, he was sentenced to life in prison. The case against him was largely based on the story of one witness, Adnan's friend Jay, who testified that he helped Adnan bury Hae's body. But Adnan has always maintained he had nothing to do with Hae's death. Some people believe he's telling the truth. Many others don't.

Sarah Koenig sorted through thousands of documents, listened to trial testimony and police interrogations, and talked to everyone she could find who remembered what happened between Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee. She discovered that the trial covered up a far more complicated story than the jury - or the public - ever got to hear. The high school scene, the shifting statements to police, the prejudices, the sketchy alibis, the scant forensic evidence - all of it leads back to the most basic questions: How can you know a person's character? How can you tell what they're capable of? In Season One of Serial, she looks for answers.

Listen to "Two Traveling Workshop Stories"

One came from Australia. Another from D.C. Another from Aspen. Still another from San Antonio. All were part of a class of ten people from all over who recently attended a Transom Traveling Workshop in Marfa, Texas hosted by Marfa Public Radio.

Some students were full time reporters. Others had dabbled at producing their own podcasts or stories for stations. A couple had not made anything before. They all produced a profile of someone living in the area.

Let's just say it was a blast. I mean, think about it. Ten students, ten stories, one week. Marfa, Texas. Hello? What's not to like??!

On this episode of HowSound, I'm highlighting a couple of pieces produced at the workshop because of their great use of sound and on-scene reporting. They're really satisfying to listen to. The producers are Andrea Gibbs, a host on a weekly Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio program who has never reported in the field or produced her own story before and Margot Wohl who makes a podcast for KPBS in San Diego.
