NPR cancels 4 podcasts in biggest wave of layoffs in decades

The programming cutbacks disclosed Thursday appear to reflect NPR’s decision to protect its core news programs that remain highly popular on its national network of public-radio affiliates, including its two daily newsmagazines, “Morning Edition” and “All Things Considered.”

4 of the shows getting cut are Invisibilia, Rough Translation Louder than a riot and Everyone and their mom are put on Hiatus as part of the NPR Cutbacks.

NPR said it would close out “Invisibilia” and the podcasts “Rough Translation” (which reported about foreign perspectives on common issues) and “Louder Than a Riot” (which explored hip-hop culture) when their current seasons end.


It will also stop production of “Everyone and Their Mom,” a humorous weekly program that debuted last year from the producers of NPR’s venerable weekend quiz program “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me.”
Officially, NPR said it was “stopping production” of the programs, rather than canceling them outright, a distinction that leaves open the possibility that the podcasts could be revived in some fashion.
