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?
The story you just read is accessible and free to all because thousands of listeners and readers contribute to our nonprofit newsroom. We go deep to bring you the human-centered international reporting that you know you can trust. To do this work and to do it well, we rely on the support of our listeners. If you appreciated our coverage this year, if there was a story that made you pause or a song that moved you, would you consider making a gift to sustain our work through 2024 and beyond?
