The Takeaway is a new, national, multi-platform news program that talks to you. Join the conversation and listen live at thetakeaway.org.

The Your Billion Dollar President specials were just the beginning. In April 2008, WNYC and PRI, in partnership with the BBC World Service, the New York Times, and WGBH Boston launched a new daily morning radio show and Web site.

The program represents an entirely new sound in public radio’s morning drive time. Departing from the highly packaged format — with pre-recorded interviews and long features — that has become the medium’s hallmark sound, it brings a wholly live, open and unprecedented personality-driven format to public radio’s renowned news and information programming.

Up-to-the-minute local, national and global news is delivered by charismatic hosts John Hockenberry and Adaora Udoji and a vibrant team of national and international contributors. The breadth and unique capabilities of the show’s media partners allow in-depth news coverage and live reports from the field from within the United States and around the globe, with BBC reporters and analysts joining in on the discussion.
