NPR and Google Play Music: Find a Podcast Playlist for Every Mood

Google

At NPR, we make podcasts and shows for all of your moods and for all different people. From the fearless and gritty Embedded with Kelly McEvers to the thoughtful conversation about life's unseen patterns that is Hidden Brain, and from the economic explainers of Planet Money to current events quiz with comedy, Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

Now thanks to our new partnership with Google, there is one more way to listen. Starting today on the web and rolling out on Android over the next few days, users in the U.S. and Canada can listen to NPR podcasts on Google Play Music.

And just like the different moods you have, there may be a podcast playlist to match.

So if you're looking to learn something new, a dose of practical intelligence from How To Do Everything might just hit the spot. Or if you want to get lost in a story, that personal history from TED Radio Hour could be just what you're looking for. Short on time? The NPR Politics Podcast and Pop Culture Happy Hour have some quick listens that will fit right into your busy schedule.

You'll also be able to find other public radio podcasts from NPR member stations that have made them available in Google Play Music. And if you discover something you fall in love with, you can subscribe directly to that podcast, so you can automatically download episodes to listen them on the go, and get notified when new ones become available so you never miss a thing.

We're excited to help bring the joy of podcasts to more people, and we want you to be able to find them, no matter how you choose to "tune in." New to podcasts and don't know where to start? There's a Best of NPR playlist waiting for you to dive into.
