Reveal

by The Center for Investigative Reporting and PRX

Reveal’s investigations will inspire, infuriate and inform you. Host Al Letson and an award-winning team of reporters deliver gripping stories about caregivers, advocates for the unhoused, immigrant families, warehouse workers and formerly incarcerated people, fighting to hold the powerful accountable. The New Yorker described Reveal as “a knockout … a pleasure to listen to, even as we seethe.” A winner of multiple Peabody, duPont, Emmy and Murrow awards, Reveal is produced by the nation’s first investigative journalism nonprofit, The Center for Investigative Reporting, and PRX. From unearthing exploitative working conditions to exposing the nation’s racial disparities, there’s always more to the story. Learn more at revealnews.org/learn.

MJLarson19 · Jun 2026

I don’t feel this way about many podcasts, but I genuinely love every single episode I listen to. Fascinating, thoroughly researched, clearly presented ideas and great conversation with guests. Thank you!

rachael12092 · Jun 2026

Such an excellent show, investigating the important topics of the day, which are really important in the last decade I would say critical in fact. And the voices of the narrators are really compelling to listen to dramatic and that makes it enjoyable and it’s really well researched also. I’m a true fan!

Dancermeu · May 2026

Hard to listen to the recent takes on elections, which are such a departure from the usual thorough and in-depth reporting of this show. The narrow focus on identity politics and partisan talking points instead of the much larger economic and foreign policy issues under the Democrats since the Obama era sounds uninformed and apologetic. Please find some unbiased sources so as not to mislead your audience.
