The Takeaway

Our host and our staff have remained dedicated to one thing: bringing you, the listeners, a quality news and information show. 

Unfortunately, in February, The Takeaway staff found out that WNYC executives planned to cancel the show. The last day of the show was June 2nd, 2023. No official press release or external communications from NYPR mentions the end of the show, so in this episode, we address it head on with our former executive producer and current Executive Editor for GBH News, Lee Hill.

Then, to celebrate the end of the show, we heard from the incredible people who have been making the show, both past and present.

We want to say to all of you, thank you for being apart of the conversation and our community. The work of public radio is daunting, challenging, and often unrewarded. So, that’s why we want you to remember this podcast as our final farewell.
