NPR’s newest program “Invisibilia” premiered Jan. 9, and by the end of the month it had already reached several big milestones.
According to a press release from the organization, the show will have more downloads per episode in January than any other NPR podcast. “Invisibilia” episodes have already been downloaded or streamed more than 10 million times, earning it the number one position on iTunes podcast ranking.
NPR Vice President of Programming Eric Nuzum noted in the release that “Invisiblia” is breaking new ground while confirming “that expert story-telling, approaching difficult subjects with a combination of rigorous reporting and a human perspective, works across all platforms.”
