Every weekday for over three decades, Morning Edition has taken listeners around the country and the world with two hours of multi-faceted stories and commentaries that inform, challenge and occasionally amuse. Morning Edition is the most listened-to news radio program in the country.
A bi-coastal, 24-hour news operation, Morning Edition is hosted by Steve Inskeep, A Martínez, Leila Fadel, and Rachel Martin. These hosts often get out from behind the anchor desk and travel around the world to report on the news firsthand.
