1A is a show for a changing America.
Every day, 1A convenes a conversation about the most important issues of our time. The show takes a deep and unflinching look at America, bringing context and insight to stories unfolding across the country and the world.
With a name inspired by the First Amendment, 1A explores important issues such as policy, politics, technology, and what connects us across the fissures that divide the country. The program also delves into pop culture, sports, and humor. 1A's goal is to act as a national mirror -- taking time to help America look at itself and to ask what it wants to be.
The conversation isn't just on air. 1A invites the audience to join in. The show regularly posts questions and requests for feedback on this page: http://the1a.org/ask-1a. And listeners can engage on Twitter, Facebook, or by texting 1A to 63735.
1A is produced by WAMU 88.5, and distributed by NPR.
