Ari Shapiro, a co-host of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” will go away the community subsequent month amid the lack of federal funding for public broadcasters.
In a weblog put up on his Substack, Shapiro mentioned the cuts weren’t the explanation behind his departure.
“I have always thought that hosting ‘All Things Considered’ is like inheriting a family heirloom,” he continued. “The goal and responsibility is to keep it looking shiny and new without breaking it, until it’s time to hand it off to the next generation.”
Congress voted to yank again $1.1 billion in federal funding from public media in July.
Chapin introduced she was leaving the community later that month.
