Hey there, it's the NPR Politics Podcast.
I'm Ashley Lopez.
I cover politics.
And today on the show, we want to give you a little bit of a treat,
especially as we all sit around digesting our Thanksgiving leftovers.
Our friends at the podcast Consider This took a behind-the-scenes look at one of the neatest things we do at NPR,
the tiny desk concerts.
We wanted to bring that to you today.
After a quick break, NPR Sasha Pfeiffer.
All reporters at NPR, including me,
are very pleased when our stories generate a lot of public interest when they get seen and heard on air and online by thousands and sometimes millions of readers and listeners.
But everyone at NPR is well aware that there's one team here whose work is much more widely known than any single story.
I'm Taylor.
Welcome to my tiny desk concert.
I'm talking about the Tiny Desk concert series.
That's where musicians ranging from little-known bands to superstar recording artists perform behind what is literally a tiny desk in an office at NPR.
