Now, meet NPR!

This past Thursday, we visited the NPR studio. I had only been to our small, Park City Radio station before, and seeing the mother ship of American radio news broadcast was an awsome experience.

NPR's programs are heard by about 21 million Americans through 900 affiliated radio stations, which makes it the most popular single source of information in the country.
