WBUR, one of Boston's two NPR stations, airs more than 25 hours of locally-produced programs and reaches approximately 500,000 listeners each week — in addition to running a significant digital operation. We were thrilled to send a team from Digital Services to visit their offices and see what they do.

Introducing DS' new outreach project, Inside/Out: A Station Perspective
By Adam Kiryk • Feb 8, 2016
At Digital Services, we know a lot about radio — hey, even though we're digital, we're still National Public Radio — but we don't know as much as we'd like about day-to-day operations inside the offices of NPR Member stations. We partner with stations on goals. We train stations how to use our products. We talk with stations about challenges. But not many of us have a deep understanding of what it's like for the people who work at a station and use our products.
So we decided to do something about it.
