the digital side of npr's audience is extraordinarily robust. in fact, by some measures, you have maybe more people, on a monthly basis, consuming npr's content through digital platforms than by turning on the boring old radio, right? - it's amazing, i mean we have, still our biggest audience is on the radio, but millions and millions of people are downloading our podcasts, and more and more every week, every month, and it depends on what kind of podcast. we've got the quick, every week, sometimes four times a week politics podcast, and then we have these sort of more curated ones that take longer, invisibilia, my podcast. people want to put a thing in their ear, and hear somebody talk to them and tell them something interesting, while they're on the bus, and washing dishes. - that's it, it's the convenience. - yeah. - so, i'm even thinking not necessarily about the content that you're creating offline from the npr programming, but actually the fact that all of us can access npr programming effectively on demand. right, if i'm not up in the morn

the performance, recorded by npr, included saxophonist wayne shorter. >> he's a legend.t plays what he's feeling. if something's not moving him, he doesn't come in yet. i think playing with people like that is incredible, people who just kind of breathe music. >> reporter: this recent performance of new songs was taped in santa monica, california, by the kcrw progra"" morning becomes eclectic." >> ♪ day breaks in your head. ♪ and you're finally alone. ♪ i'll find a way to make it through. ♪ but it keeps raining in your heart >> reporter: jones says after her smash hit breakthrough, blue note never pressured her to put out the same kind of album over and over. and she didn't. she wrote more songs with guitars, she made two albums with her country band, "the little willies," and sang an album of everly brothers duets with "green day" front-man billie joe armstrong. >> ♪ maybe you should go away. ♪ if the love we have is meant to stay. >> reporter: she says her approach has not changed since that day in 2000 when she first met blue note records president bruce lundvall with

this is your npr map.t it shows. >> first of all, going into election day, hillary clinton quite clearly has the advantage. she could get over 270 electoral votes, 274 by our count, because i moved nevada from our last map to now lean democratic, where it had been in tossup. i moved new hampshire back to tossup. so when you look at it here, all of the states leaning towards clintonen's way, if those democratic base voters hold and show up to vote, hillary clinton would win. >> woodruff: this is even without the so-called tossup states? you haven't even put those in his or her category? >> think about the fact you could have somebody win without florida and ohio and iowa and north carolina, that's pretty unheard of in recent modern american political history but because of demographic change and where we're at in this election, totally possible. >> woodruff: if that's the case, what's donald trump's past? what does he have to do? >> clearly, donald trump is going to have to break off a piece of the blue wal

he's worked at some of the most prominent liberal slate and npr. he interviewed more than 50 including individuals the clinton foundation identified as success stories. these people tell a very different story. there are claims of clinton business partnerships taking advantage of campesinos peasant farmers and indigenous fisherman. the allegations are explosive. this may explain why major news organizations ignored the story. i don't have the time to lay-out the entire inv lengthy expose yourself. there's a link on our website. it's time to investigate the clinton foundation. to comment, go to behind the headlines dot net. happening now.. a man who worked as a counselor for an after-school program in touching a five-year-old girl on several occasions. anna-lysa gayle has more. washington county, pennsylvania, after the shootings of two police officers. officer scott bashioum was killed. the other officer was wounded, and is hospitalized in stable condition. the two were responding to a domestic disturbance early yesterday morning in canonsburg.. ou

i have never been a fan of npr or left wing anything.never been a fan of economic boycotts either. that doesn't matter now. rising call for boycotts on social media is gaining momentum. the left-wing fashioning a media, broadway and hollywood have overreached. while their leftist politics won't shrink, their audiences are. you'd yens and customers after november 8 are no longer feeling constrained to tolerate lies. they will no longer tolerate mind control through political correctness. tens of millions of people who voted in this presidential election. our quotation of the evening. government is not the generator of economic growth. working people are. guess what? working people went to the polls and they saved the nation. with a little help from donald trump. we are coming right back. vice president-elect trump having to put up with manufactured criticism and hyterics of the trump transition team and the national media. >> i want to reassure the american people and the media that in the days ahead they will see president obama be a pre

the show that npr distributes. >>> we may have missed out on being "people" magazine's sex yesterday man alive but a young joe biden is taking the internet by storm. >> pretty sure it wasn't even close. one of the most popular photos making the rounds showing a 26- year-old biden standing outside among palm trees and a red another one here showing him at a birthday party with a cake right there in front of him. the 73-year-old vice president known for his sense of humor as well as his bromance with president obama. and if you haven't seen the memes that are out there between the two of them talking about pranking the incoming trump administration, they are pretty funny. >>> live look outside, this is our live michael & son weather cam. great night. still 59 downtown. clouds are moving out, winds northwest at 7. so clearing and hold in the 40s. bus stop temps 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., low 40s to low 50s. a terrific thursday with more sunshine and then friday best in show, temps around 70. it will turn colder in the afternoon on saturday so if you're out all day and leave the house at 8:

inwikileaks, you told npr august that these e-mails were late for a reason and to achieve an effect. what can you tell us about wikileaks from what you know? admiral rogers: because there is an ongoing investigation, i'm not going to get into the specifics. i'm very comfortable with that. any doubt in't be anybody's mind, this is not something that was done casually. this is not something that was done by chance. not a target selected purely arbitrarily. this is a conscious effort by a nationstate to attempt to achieve a specific effect and we are very public in a government as saying that. you have also been public as a government in saying, this is acceptable. this first question from one of the ceo's. we beingtive are against the persistent hacking coming from russia and china? and i suspect by the word proactive, it doesn't just mean defense. every case is: different. but i remind people, when you step back and think about how we going to change the dynamic we are dealing with out here, there's got to be multiple aspects to that. addressing -- we are trying to make life harder fo

so glad i had this moment with her on martha's vineyard this past summer with michelle norris, the nprrespondent. the three of us were at dinner, and she just sat back and let us i amer and talk and chat, and we would say something and she would say, oh, i didn't know that. and she would pick up a pen to write it down to remind herself to look at that. and we started talking about something else and she went right on her phone and said, no, that's not right, it was such and such a thing. but she was humble even though she presented this very strong and powerful person. so i think what young african-american people saw in her was what they could be, and it was a wonderful -- and i could see what i could be, even being older than she. so i'm saying she appealed to all the generationings in a most -- generations in a most wonderful way. >way. >> sreenivasan: john dickerson, she seemed to be willing to continue learning. she didn't take the twitter quickly but when she got in, she was in and let the world know about it. >> she had to have some way to have talk about "hamilton" and every so

president-elect's pick for attorney general, we are joined by carrie johnson, justice correspondent for nprrrie, welcome back to the program. >> thank you, judy. >> woodruff: so what is senator jeff sessions' reputation in washington? >> 69-year-old senator, member of the senate more than 20 years and pretty well liked across the aisle he felt has a significant law enforcement battleground serving as u.s. attorney in alabama for 15 years earlier in his career. he's very tough on immigration and pretty tough as well on law and order, the dined of message we have been hearing from donald trump on the campaign trail. >> woodruff: fill out the picture. who are groups who are saying nice things about him, who support him? >> the heritage foundation, very conservative think tanks here in washington, and people who oppose immigration and opening up the immigration system. on the other hand -- and also donald trump's team, i should say that they point out that he has been a close ally of president-elect trump for a long time, and they call him a great legal mind. >> woodruff: and he is, as we shoul

the other thing that i would story core.out is you hear it on npr on friday mornings. created something wonderful where people all over the country interview other people, and lasting skipping, something like 300,000 kids interviewed their grandparents, and it is all archived in the library of congress. the problem is going to be, the technology changes, and being able to listen to things -- grazes knotting, because once the technology -- grace is nodding, because once the technology changes, it becomes difficult. you have to preserve it with the next generation of whatever it is. anything you can do like that really does make a difference. i highly recommend it. anybody else want to add to that? i think if you find any family letters, you should consciously think about where you can donate them to, or photographs. here withre -- i am sort of a st. louis mafia right here. my mother's first cousin died, who is from st. louis, and she had all these letters. i could not read them, but i sent them to the missouri historical society. they came back breathless, because in th

and i'd been on television for a long time before in local news and was at npr, too. but peter jennings was my anchor. that man could be absolutely terrifying. and when he asked you a question, and, you know, he wanted you to be better and he was a great journalist, amazing journalist, but he could be terrifying. so when you -- when he asked you a question, you never quite knew what peter would ask, you'd look in the lens and see peter and i always used to think when i started at abc, and gwen knew this, i would see gwen. i would look in that lens and whatever news i was giving, i thought i was giving it to gwen because that calmed me down. because i knew, number one, she was listening. she wanted me to be the best i could possibly be. >> one of the hallmarks of gwen was that she rooted for everybody. you know, there are some people in life, in every calling, and certainly in what we do that think to themselves it's not enough that i succeed. you also have to fail. and gwen celebrated everybody's accomplishments. she was -- she was that kind of generosity of spirit. s

doris kearns goodwin, walter issacson of the apten institute, jeff greenfield of pbs, curt anderson of nprd cokie roberts of abc news. >> i think if you ask the country, "do you want bipartisanship? do you want a cooperative political system?" the overwhelming majority will say yes. they even say yes, they'd like to see a new political party. but people also say they want to exercise more, watch documentaries and eat broccoli. ( laughter ) how they behave in the voting boothing has not yet borne that out. maybe there is-- there are people who i respect who do think at this point the disaffection may be sufficient that some kind of new political force can emerge. >> that new political force is called women. yes, because women-- >> hooray! >> rose: how can women make a difference as leaders? >> they do, in legislative bodes, they do come together, and we have lots of data on this, much more than men do. >> rose: because they listen? >> because they cooperate with each other. they particularly do on issues having to do with women, children, and families, but on other issues as well. they talk
