Maybe I’m the only one who noticed, but in the most recent episodes they’ve chopped the ending the tiniest bit. Instead of saying “This is NPR, National Public Radio,” they just say “This is NPR.” Not like it’s anything major, but it kinda takes some getting used to for me

I noticed that too - on other NPR shows as well. While I agree it’s not a big deal, I liked it the old way better. Sounded classier.
