  • “Radio Expeditions” — the NPR/National Geographic series travels to the farthest corners of the world and uses state-of-the-art digital audio equipment to explore environmental, cultural and adventure themes

  • “NPR: Economy” — continuing the success of NPR’s themed podcasts on Health and Science, Technology, Movies, Books and other topics, this feature collects reports on economy from across NPR programming

  • “NPR World Story of the Day” — also building on the popularity of NPR’s “Story of the Day,” this report is chosen daily by the staff of the NPR Foreign Desk
