22 分钟When Malcolm Gladwell presented NPR's Throughline podcast with a Peabody Award,
he praised it for its historical and moral clarity.
On Throughline, we take you back in time to the origins of what's in the news,
like presidential power, aging, and evangelicalism.
Time travel with us every week on the Throughline podcast from NPR.
A quick note before we start today's show.
You may have heard that President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR.
This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.
Whatever changes this action brings,
NPR's commitment to serving an engaged public will never change.
Even as paywalls rise elsewhere, we offer this vital resource to everyone,
regardless of their ability to pay.
This is a pivotal moment.
It's more important than ever that every supporter who can contribute comes together to pitch in as much
as they are able.
And if you already support us via NPR Plus or another means, thank you.
Your support means so much to us now more than ever.
You help make NPR shows freely available to everyone.
We are proud to do this work for you and with you.
Okay, here's the show.
