About On The Media
On the Media is a podcast and radio show from WNYC that uses the media as a lens to understand our world, broadcast on more than 400 public radio stations nationwide. On the Media listeners say the show is an essential companion, helping them stay afloat as a firehose of media comes at them 24/7. Hosted by Brooke Gladstone and Micah Loewinger, the show does not do ‘hot takes’, instead offering listeners context, historical parallels, media analysis and often a much-appreciated deep exhale. On the Media hosts have an eye on the nuances and details regularly missed by other outlets which helps listeners understand where they should be paying attention (and what they can afford to ignore). The show has won Peabody Awards, Mirror Awards, Silver Gavel Awards, a duPont-Columbia and many more.
Our theme music was written by bassist/composer Ben Allison.
Transcripts are posted a few days following the release of the audio of an episode.
