21 分钟In the US, national security news can feel far away from daily life.
Distant wars, murky conflicts, diplomacy behind closed doors.
On our new show, Sources and Methods.
NPR reporters on the ground bring you stories of real people helping you understand why distant events matter here at home.
Listen to Sources and Methods on the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hi, this is Joe.
I'm here with my dog Liberty.
We're about to step foot on Wingersheak Beach in Gloucester,
Massachusetts for the first time in 24 weeks since this city has lifted the summer dog ban.
This podcast was recorded at 12.08 p.m. on Friday, October 3rd, 2025.
Things may have changed by the time you hear this,
but Libby and I will be enjoying the real pitch season.
That's such a good feeling.
You say, Liddy or Liberty?
Liberty is the nickname.
Well, there is nothing more freeing than being with your dog on the beach and throwing a ball.
Yeah, on the day that the rules have been lifted, right?
Hey there, it's the NPR Politics Podcast.
I'm Miles Parks.
I cover voting.
