Description
NPR's original documentary podcast unearths the stories behind the headlines. Police shootings. Towns ravaged by opioids. The roots of our modern immigration crisis. We explore what's been sealed off, undisclosed, or never brought to light. We return with a deeply-reported portrait of why these stories, and the people behind them, matter.

El Salvador is the murder capital of the world, by many estimates. It has the highest homicide rate anywhere outside of war zones. The reason? Violent street gangs, exported from the U.S. We spend 24 hours in the capital city, San Salvador, when the gangs try to flex their muscle like never before.

On Skid Row in Los Angeles, where thousands of poor, homeless people live — many of them black — questions of how police should use force and interact with people come up all the time. We embed with both the police and the locals after the police shot and killed an unarmed black man. And we see what police tactics, from glad-handing to tough love, look like up close.

On its face, the immigration system can look a lot like the criminal justice system: prisons, courts, judges, prosecutors. But the rules are different and the details are often hard to access.

When you play basketball in the NBA's minor league – it's called the D-League — the stands aren't full, the schedule is grueling, and the pay can be as low as $13,000 a year. Compare that to the NBA, where the profile is high and the salary is way higher. Playing in the D-League is a moonshot for every player, just waiting to get that call-up to the NBA. We follow two players through the highs and lows of an entire D-League season. You can follow Kelly McEvers on Twitter @KellyMcEvers, Uri Berliner @uberliner and Tom Goldman @TomGoldmanNPR.

So often, it seems like there's a new video of a deadly police encounter in the news. But those videos only tell us part of the story. Embedded is back March 9, and we'll have three episodes that each tell the story of a different video. We'll find out what happened before, during and after. And we'll explore what that tells us about policing in America.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
On Sept. 14, 2013, Jonathan Ferrell was shot and killed by a police officer named Randall "Wes" Kerrick in Charlotte, North Carolina. Like a lot of recent police shootings, much of what we know about what happened comes from a video. But the way you see that video depends on who you are.

On Dec. 28, 2014, Robert "Bobby" Smith shot police officer Tyler Stewart and himself in Flagstaff, Arizona. The video of that shooting has since taken on a life of its own. Police use it to talk about the dangers they face every day. Other people see it as a painful loop that will never stop playing.

On April 16, 2015, police officer Jesse Kidder encountered a murder suspect named Michael Wilcox in a suburb outside of Cincinnati, Ohio.

When Donald Trump came to Rancho Palos Verdes in Southern California in 2002, he was greeted as a "white knight." Trump was buying a golf club that had gone into bankruptcy when the 18th hole had literally fallen into the ocean. But what followed was a decade of public insults, lawsuits, and broken rules.

why were there so many police there
Am I meant to sympathize with the invading force here? Insurgents? Jihad? Give me a break. You were in THEIR land. You’re the baddie, bud.
Certainly there needs to be a followup after Argentina and Messe win the cup.
The lies this officer makes are so prevalent. Its absolutely ridiculous and we're supposed to trust them... really.

the reason police have trouble controling Trump supporters, is the same reason you never seen Superman and Clark Kent in the same room.

This is such a chilling and emotional series. I appreciate hearing what the staff endured.
This is an amazing story. So glad I took the time to listen. Eager to hear how it wraps up.
excellent episode! I'm looking forward to the whole series. Obviously this is not a pleasant topic, but it's so important. I was aware that I forget about these tragadies too quickly. it's important to use the range of media we have today to get informed and mostly importantly, to build empathy. These episodes will help
Am deleting this Podcast d/t I have had my fill of Moscow Mitch.
Just deleted without listening. There is a limit to how the many shows on Darth Vador I will listen to. Do something interesting.
Good job giving another right wing hate group press. But no the Koch's donations have no effect on your "journalism".
"The Humanity" would be a better title. Christ.
People choosing to rebuild and think this was really a once in 1000 years storm...in 2016....is an effect of deadly ignorance (perhaps willful ignorance) about climate change. People in rural areas tend to be Republican and don't even realize they constantly vote against their own interests. I think we can blame a lot of this ignorance on Fox News and conservative radio, not even joking. They teach viewers/listeners to mistrust facts, science, and education, so people willfully resist those things. I've taught middle school science in a conservative area and seen this firsthand. Climate change never should have been partisan. It's ridiculous and despicable that Republicans (and their fossil fuel donors) made it partisan. The lives and property lost are on the heads of the GOP and conservative media. How can we get people to look reality in the face and stop voting for Republicans unless they start supporting urgent policy changes to slow down climate change?
applause for the teacher who pointed out the IMO obvious response to "just kidding." if the only person amused is the person uttering the hate speech, the utterance is clearly does not qualify as a joke.
great show. heartbreaking. I've heard there were interpersonal spats even as the Titanic went down. sometimes we humans can be so inept at recognizing priorities. and you're right: there is no playbook when catastrophe strikes.
