Dave Chappelle on free speech and the purpose of comedy | NPR’s Newsmakers
15 апр. 2026 г. 39 minIn this bonus episode of <em>Up First</em>, we’re sharing the latest episode of <em>NPR’s</em> <em>Newsmakers</em>, featuring comedian Dave Chappelle. The provocative comedian and architect of <em>Chappelle’s Show</em> is one of the biggest names in comedy. Now in arguably the most successful chapter of his life and career, he views himself not just as an entertainer -- but as a professional processor of events and experiences. He describes comedians as 'the nation's kidney' -- an essential organ for processing the raw experiences of life. <br/><br/>Chappelle believes that function is one shared by comics and journalists -- they both process events and help audiences make sense of the world. That conviction is why he recently invested $15 million into the infrastructure of WYSO, the public radio station in his hometown of Yellow Springs, Ohio. <br/><br/>In this conversation, Chappelle tells host Michel Martin why free speech is so important to him, and why he refuses to let public expectations dictate his art. <br/><br/><em>NPR's Newsmakers</em> is where you'll find NPR's biggest interviews.

7 апр. 2026 г. 32 minIn this bonus episode of <em>Up First</em>, we’re sharing the latest episode of <em>NPR’s</em> <em>Newsmakers</em>, featuring Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorganChase, the nation’s largest bank.

RFK Jr lauds Italy's addiction treatment. Can it work here?
29 мар. 2026 г. 30 minAs many as 50 million people in the United States are thought to struggle with an addiction to drugs or alcohol.

Kennedy Jr. has his own story of addiction and credits Alcoholics Anonymous with keeping him sober. But Secretary Kennedy has said that a treatment program in Italy that has shown great success in keeping people sober should serve as the vision for what addiction treatment could be here in the US. On this episode of <em>The Sunday Story</em>, <em>WBUR’</em>s Deborah Becker travels to Italy to see firsthand how a treatment program at an Italian vineyard has created so many success stories. <br/><br/>See <a href="https://pcm.adswizz.com">pcm.adswizz.com</a> for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.npr.org/about-npr/179878450/privacy-policy">NPR Privacy Policy</a>
