About NPR
NPR's rigorous reporting and unsurpassed storytelling connect with millions of Americans every day — on the air, online, and in person. NPR was founded on a mission to create a more informed public — one challenged and invigorated by a deeper understanding and appreciation of events, ideas, and cultures. With a nationwide network of award-winning journalists and more than a dozen international bureaus, NPR and its Member organizations — the NPR Network — are never far from where a story is unfolding. Listeners and readers can find NPR everywhere — through their local Member stations (npr.org/stations), online at NPR.org, wherever podcasts are available, and by downloading the NPR App. The NPR app brings together the best of the NPR Network from around the world and right in your community — live radio, podcasts, the latest local and national news and more — available wherever you are and whenever you want. Get more information at npr.org/about and by following NPR Extra on Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, and Instagram.

- Nov 2: Additionally, recognising that this behaviour isn't unique to Spreaker, the Podcast Index has produced a set of data highlighting "lookalike" feeds throughout its catalog. There are plenty of daily CSV files for podcast hosts to import and use as part of any anti-piracy action (should they show willing). This web page looks at top shows that are likely copies - shows that share the same title and number of episodes, but are slightly longer (because they have more ads stuffed in them). Of the top 500, more than 290 of them are with Spreaker. In this data, we see copies of podcasts on Spreaker that were originally from the BBC, Double Elvis and iHeart, the New York Times, CBC, Barstool Sports, NPR, Audiochuck, and plenty of others.
