About the Podcast

As a long-form, sound-rich field reporting from around the country and world, NPR’s Embedded takes listeners on a journey, submerging them in stories from the U.S. to the Middle East. Hosted by Kelly McEvers, Embedded is comprised of mini series within a season, each series focusing on a different headline that dives deep into the the world’s biggest headlines, taking the listener where the news is happening. Embedded emphasizes longform narratives and emotional ideas not common in the regular news cycle. Stories range from a Syrian refugee who is trying to piece their family back together after joining ISIS, to the political rise of the most powerful U.S. senators in modern history. Exploring complex issues and asking questions, NPR’s Embedded gathers a narrative that can only be found on the front-lines. NPR’s Embedded combines the best in audio storytelling and compelling investigative journalism in podcast form.

Embedded enables McEvers to delve deeper into some of the world’s biggest stories, submersing listeners on a journey.
