description Embedded Overview
Embedded is a documentary-style journalism podcast produced by NPR that takes listeners deep inside specific news events, communities, or subcultures. Originally launched in 2015 and hosted by journalist Kelly McEvers, each episode or season provides immersive, long-form reporting on a single topic. The show distinguishes itself from daily news podcasts by spending extended time on the ground to provide context and detail for complex national and international stories.

What makes Embedded different from a daily news podcast?
Embedded takes one news story or event and reports it in depth through a long-form documentary series. NPR describes the format as going inside the people and places behind the headlines, rather than summarizing the day's news.
