The funding initiative awarded a total of $20 million to 205 news outlets.
The June through August 2024 period was, at best, sluggish for station fundraising across several key performance indicators compared to the same period in 2023.
This year, as Current marks the 50th anniversary of the Public Broadcasting Act, we are illuminating the experiences that inspired people to choose to work in public media.
The rule, scheduled for an April 20 vote, would allow public stations to seek waivers if they choose to fundraise for other nonprofits.
The podcast, which features the hosts of “Morning Edition” and NPR reporters, launches Wednesday.
Board members called Howard Husock an “embarrassment.”
The board also approved a $323.9 million budget proposal for FY18 with no member dues increase.
Beginning Tuesday, a reporter will rotate into a three-week assignment at the Association of Independents in Radio headquarters in Fields Corner, part of the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester.
The stations air a mix of international programming, including some locally produced shows.

PRI currently distributes the programs.
NPR receives $315,000 for the project.
