Company Information

It’s Been a Minute is the future of NPR programming. Through three podcasts a week plus a radio show, host Brittany Luse highlights trends in culture (from how we live to what makes us laugh) and explores why people are connecting with them now. IBAM covers everything from politics to pop culture and is redefining cultural journalism by asking questions traditional media has yet to ask. Our team is innovative, ambitious, creative, curious, and fun. Our audience has tripled in the past six months, and we’re looking for an intern who is hungry to learn how to make a show from the inside out.

Created around original podcasts, Life Kit is NPR’s brand for actionable journalism. With journalistic rigor and in-depth reporting, Life Kit publishes three podcasts a week that aim to help people be their better selves.
