| 0:00.0 | In-depth journalism is more important than ever in a complicated chaotic time. |
| 0:05.0 | That's why we listen to NPR's Thru Line. |
| 0:08.5 | This is a podcast that appeals to us on so many levels. |
| 0:12.0 | As history buffs, we love their historical contextualization of |
| 0:15.4 | important ongoing issues. As storytellers, we love the engaging way they |
| 0:20.1 | approach and often humanize complicated tales. |

| 1:16.6 | outwardly simple stories. Go back in time, learn something new, emerge more knowledgeable |
