Political Podcasts
Embedded – an NPR Original long-form podcast – journeys alongside the world’s biggest headlines, exploring how and why things happen the way they do. From the stories behind police shootings caught on video, to visiting a town ravaged by the opioid epidemic; from the class-and-race dialogues buried inside the World Cup to living alongside NRA evangelists, we take a topic and inhabit it to explore what’s been sealed off, undisclosed, or never brought to life – and return with a deeply-reported portrait of why these stories matter.
