  • NPR. Adrian Ma. Darian Woods.

  • When you tell people that you work for NPR, do you ever get this response?

  • Have you got to meet the great Ira Glass?

  • This is from when I was being interviewed this year by the New Zealand station RNZ.

  • Ira Glass, the founding host of This American Life.

  • To be clear, he doesn't work at NPR.

  • Only all the time, Darian.

  • Right.

  • I also get asked about whether I run into Kai Risnall from Marketplace.

  • Tiny Desk is a big one.

  • Yes, that one is us.

  • Yes.

  • Not to mention the war correspondents, national, international,

  • and investigative journalists that we are lucky to work with.

  • And I guess it makes sense.

  • You know, we're all part of the same extended public radio Marvel universe.

  • Another question we get is, how are we funded?

  • That's coming up a lot these days.

  • President Trump just signed an executive order to stop all federal funding to PBS and National Public Radio.

  • This is The Indicator from Planet Money.
