Planet Money

Planet Money is the podcast feed context for Congress has voted to eliminate government funding for public media. In this source, the feed carries a short NPR funding appeal rather than a standard reported economics episode.

The placement matters because it shows Public Media Funding and Listener-Supported Media being routed through NPR’s existing podcast audience. The message also hands off to a promo for 1A and If You Can Keep It, linking public-media funding to public-affairs podcasting.

Connections

• NPR — network and public-media organization behind the appeal.
• Katherine Maher — NPR CEO speaking in the message.
• Public Media Funding and Listener-Supported Media — funding issue and donor model.
• 1A and If You Can Keep It — promo content at the end of the source.
