Event recap:
A deep dive into national security with Sources & Methods
In case you missed it, last month NPR+ supporters joined us for a live, behind-the-scenes virtual event with Mary Louise Kelly and Greg Myre, where they broke down the latest news from Iran and shared what it is really like to report on the intelligence community during such a high-stakes news cycle.
It was a fantastic session, made even better by the thoughtful questions submitted by our community of supporters! Mary Louise and Greg spent the second half of the event answering those questions directly, offering a level of detail you won’t always hear on the air. |
These exclusive, live conversations are just one of the ways we say thank you to the supporters who make our journalism possible. If you aren’t an NPR+ supporter yet, consider signing up today and maybe you can join us for the next one! |

| Stanley Tucci’s non-negotiable rules of Italian cooking (Fresh Air+)
“The Devil Wears Prada 2” is out now, so we’re looking back at two Fresh Air interviews with actor Stanley Tucci. First, in 2010, Tucci talks about the whirlwind experience of shooting the first “Devil Wears Prada” movie, and his friendship with Meryl Streep. Then he returned to Fresh Air in 2021 to talk about his lifelong love for food—how he grew up surrounded by great cooking, and his rules on Italian cuisine.
