Summary

Before Kelly McEvers landed in her current role as host of NPR's All Things Considered, she was a world-weary conflict-zone reporter. But McEvers says she wasn't bored upon returning to the states: "I came back to America, and I was like, Whoa, America, kind of messed up." McEvers' reporting podcast, Embedded, has just released new episodes. She talked to Mike Pesca last year at the Now Hear This Podcast Festival in Anaheim, California.
