Hi, it's Terry Gross, host of Fresh Air.
Hey, take a break from the 24-hour news cycle with us and listen to long-form interviews with your favorite authors, actors, filmmakers, comedians, and musicians, the people making the art that nourishes us and speaks to our times.
So listen to the Fresh Air podcast from NPR and WHYY.
Big heat we're having today and I'm listening to them munching and settling and birds chirping and it's wonderful and I wouldn't want to spend my summers any other way.
Nice.
This podcast was recorded at 12.09 p.m. on Wednesday, June 18th, 2025.
Things may have changed by the time you hear this, but I'll probably be back at the barn.
What a nice life.
Very nice.
Very sweaty today to be doing that, but a very nice life indeed.
Hey there.
It's the NPR Politics Podcast.
I'm Miles Parks.
I cover voting.
I'm Greg Myhre.
I cover national security.
And I'm Mara Liason, senior national political correspondent.
And today on the show, Iran, where the Middle East conflict goes from here and what United States involvement could look like.
So, Greg, this is a rapidly evolving situation in the Middle East.
Where do things stand right now?
