I gave up NPR for podcasts a long time ago. There is so much high quality content for different niches now. I wonder if others have made the same switch.
It did make me realise that some people think the U.S. has the greatest health care system in the world though. That took some time to process.
Buying a few barrels of oil and tracking them from ground to fuel tank and making T-shirts starting from cotton and ending up as a final product are really good journalism.
Then they have the episodes where they try to sell a bunch of christmas trees, you can skip those :D
What I do like about NPR stuff is that they edit their podcasts, I just can't handle a 3 hour meandering chitchat flowing in and out of different subjects.
