Listen Up with Kelly McEvers

She has been tear-gassed in Bahrain, traveled undercover to follow Arab uprisings, stayed a night in a tent city with a Nobel Peace Prize winner and spent weeks inside Syria with anti-government rebels. Now Embedded, NPR's podcast that takes a news story and digs deeper, host Kelly McEvers is coming to Indianapolis to go beyond the stories. 

Join Kelly McEvers for a live presentation of the podcast, Embedded. In this episode, she and the team trace the origins of “The Apprentice,” the show that some would say helped Donald Trump to the White House. But how? We’ll hear from producers and contestants about what was one of the most popular reality shows of its time. One contestant says he dreamed of being on the show in high school. Another says she thought the whole thing was a lark. And what about those tapes?
