Episode 191: Kelly McEvers
Kelly McEvers, a former war correspondent, hosts NPR's All Things Considered and the podcast Embedded.\n\n\u201cListeners want you to be real, a real person. Somebody who stumbles and fails sometimes. I think the more human you are, the more people can then relate to you. The whole point is not so everybody likes me, but it\u2019s so people will want to take my hand and come along. It's so they feel like they trust me enough to come down the road with me. To do that, I feel like you need to be honest and transparent about what that road\u2019s like.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, Audible, and Squarespace for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow Notes:\n@kellymcevers\nMcEvers on Longform\n[02:00] "How It Ends" (Lenny \u2022 Apr 2016)\n[06:00] "Diary of a Bad Year: A War Correspondent\u2019s Dilemma" (Transom \u2022 Jun 2013)\n[08:00] "The Capital" (Embedded \u2022 Apr 2016)\n[25:00] Friday Was the Bomb: Five Years in the Middle East (Nathan Deuel \u2022 Disquiet \u2022 2014)\n[28:00] All Things Considered\n[38:00] Embedded\n[39:00] Marketplace\n[42:00] "The Fight for the Future of NPR" (Leon Neyfakh \u2022 Slate \u2022 Apr 2016)\n[49:00] "Women of \u2018The World\u2019" (with Linnet Myers \u2022 Chicago Tribune \u2022 Mar 1999)\n[49:00] "138: The Real Thing" (This American Life \u2022 Aug 1999)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
