Now, the Consider This podcast from NPR is taking a close look at the topics that capture the moment on a daily basis. Whether the subject is civil rights movements or economic impasses, NPR's hosts keep listeners informed.

A rotating roster of expert journalists presents the crisp, informative, and digestible segments. Juana Summers, Mary Louise Kelly, and others distill each topic down to its essence. And they're not afraid to call in support to get the best angle. Andrew Weissmann, a former federal prosecutor, appears on the show. He enlightens listeners about the proceedings surrounding the 2021 Capitol attack.

The podcast began as the Coronavirus Live series in March 2020. Covering daily pandemic updates, it became one of NPR's fastest-growing productions.
