NPR’s Far-Flung Postcards: World’s Most Casual Bragging Rights

Every week, NPR’s international squad drops 'Far-Flung Postcards,' a dazzling series capturing global ‘moments’ so gritty you almost forget it’s journalism, not a travel influencer’s humblebrag. The tiny detail NPR shares? Absolutely nothing beyond a politely vague intro: 'international team shares moments from their lives and work.' That means somewhere between a lukewarm cafe chat in Dhaka and dodging local chaos in Caracas, someone’s narrating the slog of cultural clichĂ©s without a single real scoff or scandal. NPR is basically the globe-trotting equivalent of a compliment sandwich – sweet on the outside, painfully bland in the middle, and no punches thrown since forever.
