There are celebrity interview shows and then there's Wildcard.
It's a podcast from NPR that the New York Times just named as one of the 10 best of 2024.
It's hosted by me, Rachel Martin.
I ask guests like Issa Rae and Bowen Yang revealing questions like what's a place you consider sacred?
Has ambition ever led you astray?
And I'm telling you, it is such a good time.
Listen to Wildcard wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, it's Amanda Aronczyk.
The year is almost over.
You've heard a lot of pitches asking you to support N.
To the many of you who have given, thank you.
Now, if you are sick of these pitches, chances are you are a heavy podcast listener that you get a lot out of NPR podcasts like Planet Money, the Indicator up first, the NPR Politics Podcast.
In order to make all our shows possible, NPR has sponsors.
Sponsors slot messages into podcast episodes.
You hear them every show.
Unless you don't.
That is just one of the things we offer.
Supporters who sign up for NPR sponsor free episodes of more than 25 different NPR podcasts, including this one.
And those sponsor messages add up.
If you listen to two or three NPR podcasts each week, we could be talking about 12 hours worth of sponsor messages in a year.
