RSS Feeds: NPR News and Information to Your Desktop

NPR news and information is available through RSS feeds, which use a technology called XML to deliver headlines and summaries to your desktop or Web browser. Many NPR Member stations also provide local and regional RSS feeds. RSS feeds are different from podcasts; they do not contain audio.

To use RSS, copy the feed address and paste it into an RSS news reader (see the list of compatible readers to the right), or use a browser which supports RSS feeds, such as Safari for Mac OS X. Viewing of these feeds is subject to NPR's RSS terms of use.

NPR's Top Stories feed gives a regular stream of the latest news.

NPR offers a variety of feeds based around programs, news topics or subjects. Many NPR member stations offer news feeds, as well. Use the links below to explore more offerings. You can find more throughout our site on topic, program or story pages, including feeds for particular NPR personalities. Look for the "Related RSS Feeds" box at the bottom right of pages.
