Produced by WAMU and distributed by NPR, 1A serves as a daily hub for civil discourse and investigative reporting. Hosted by Jenn White, the show utilizes its flagship series, Remaking America, to examine the shifting state of American democracy through collaborative journalism with regional stations. The program bridges the gap between local lived experiences and national policy, covering topics from housing affordability in the Central Valley to the legislative impacts of the D.C. takeover. Recent efforts toward digital-first storytelling include the Public Ra-D&D segment, which uses tabletop roleplaying to explore social archives, and the 1A Across America initiative that captures diverse perspectives from the Minnesota State Fair. By facilitating live listener interaction via the VoxPop app, the show integrates real-time public testimony into high-level interviews with figures such as Tim Walz and Hozier. This multimedial approach ensures rigorous news analysis remains accessible to a broad demographic interested in the intersection of policy and culture.
