Our mission is to preserve and share humanity's stories in order to build connections between people & create a more just and compassionate world.

Each week we choose a theme, and present various stories on that theme. Hosted by Ira Glass. Produced by Chicago Public Media. Distributed by Public Radio International. 

Were you a backseat baby? Were you strapped into your car seat and forced to listen to NPR in the 80's and 90's?

Join us on a new on-ramp to NPR that is quietly gaining speed: Generation Listen.
