Steve Inskeep is the co-host of NPR’s Morning Edition, the highest-rated news program on radio. Aspiring to “slow down the news,” he is known for the breadth of his interview subjects and the globe-spanning locales from which he has reported. An NPR reporter since 1996, he was formerly host of Weekend All Things Considered. A recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy journalism award and the Alfred I. Dupont-Columbia University Silver Baton for excellence, Inskeep is the author of Instant City: Life and Death in Karachi. His new book tells the story of two leaders, both heroic yet diametrically opposed, locked in a struggle that tested our nascent democracy.
