National Public Radio wasn't always the journalistic treasure it is today. And Peter Breslow wasn't always a multi-Peabody Award winner. Thankfully for NPR junkies, their paths crossed in 1982 when both were young, and they grew up together over the decades. In his memoir Outtakes, senior producer Peter Breslow reveals how NPR moved from a niche listening experience to become one of the world's preeminent news organizations. We are alongside Peter in the front seat as he travels the planet reporting -- from Kabul to Kathmandu and from the earth's highest point -- Mt. Everest -- to its lowest -- the Dead Sea. Outtakes takes us behind the scenes covering history-defining breaking news and producing award winning programs like All Things Considered and Weekend Edition.
