LifeChip is all about helping you, our listeners.

But we need a little help from you now.

NPR is doing its annual survey to better understand

how listeners like you spend time with podcasts.

And we would love to hear from you.

Please help us out by completing a short anonymous survey

at npr.org slash podcast survey.

All one word.

It'll help us out so much and will give you a chance

to help shape the future of podcasting at NPR.

Again, you can take the survey at npr.org slash podcast.

And thanks.
