Your American Icon
This fall we’re airing nine new American Icons episodes and we need your ideas for the tenth. Listeners have submitted dozens of suggestions ? including Bruce Springsteen’s ballad “Thunder Road” and Willa Cather’s novel My Antonia. What great creative work would you nominate?
Invest in independent global news
The World is an independent newsroom. We’re not funded by billionaires; instead, we rely on readers and listeners like you. As a listener, you’re a crucial part of our team and our global community. Your support is vital to running our nonprofit newsroom, and we can’t do this work without you. Will you support The World with a gift today? Donations made between now and Dec. 31 will be matched 1:1. Thanks for investing in our work!
