Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 9.1k ratings
  • Trashy story about Hollywood

    I don’t think the details associated with “intimacy coaches” and their methods for Hollywood actors making R rated movie scenes qualifies as beneficial reporting.

    There are better elements of culture to highlight.

    This is the same NPR that begged for donations after federal funding was pulled.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Changes are coming to student loans. How might it affect you?
Q: What about forgiveness for new borrowers?
Forgiveness for new borrowers under the RAP plan exists but is not as generous as traditional forgiveness timelines; it may take 30 years for any forgiveness to occur if at all, depending on plan participation.
Changes are coming to student loans. How might it affect you?
Q: What about repayment plans for current borrowers?
Current borrowers can still access income-based repayment and public service loan forgiveness, but the switch from SAVE means many will see higher fixed payments if they don't switch soon, and forgiveness timelines vary by plan.
Changes are coming to student loans. How might it affect you?
Q: Start with new student loan limits. What should we know?
Graduate loan limits will be cut to a maximum of $20,500 per year, while undergraduate limits stay the same; this change may push some borrowers toward private loans or away from grad school, and professional degree programs will retain higher limits for certain fields.
Balancing the risks of catching Ebola while covering the outbreak
Q: What will be difficult as the outbreak continues and media attention shifts away?
He anticipates that interest will wane as conflict persists, risking less coverage and highlighting the need to maintain focus on communities impacted by the outbreak.
Balancing the risks of catching Ebola while covering the outbreak
Q: I began by asking Emmet a very basic question, how he tries to keep safe.
He explained that safety starts with personal hygiene and situational awareness, and editors support personal boundaries while preparing journalists with training.
