Justice Talking

An award-winning radio show hosted by NPR’s Margot Adler, Justice Talking explored issues of law and American life.

Produced by the Annenberg Public Policy Center, the program was distributed by NPR to nearly 100 public radio markets in the U.S. and 140 countries around the world. Justice Talking, made possible with the generous support of the Annenberg Foundation, was part of a multimedia civics education initiative online and in classrooms, libraries and other public venues. It ceased production in 2008; its website can be accessed here.
