In order to make all our shows possible, NPR has sponsors. Sponsors slot messages into podcast episodes. You hear them every show unless... You don't. That is just one of the things we offer supporters who sign up for NPR+. Sponsor-free episodes of more than 25 different NPR podcasts, including this one. And those sponsor messages add up.

Context and perspective matter.
