Every week, NPR's international team sends us 'Far-Flung Postcards,' aka the media version of 'Wish You Were Here' texts but with 100% more diplomacy and zero postcard stamps. Across mysterious global locales (that weren’t named because vibes), NPR journalists share their daily lives like serious travel bloggers who somehow avoid all the clichés. It's basically a curated window into 'reporter's life' without the screaming crowds, plane delays, or existential dread. No celebrity cameos, explosive scoops, or viral TikTok dances—just steady, earnest journalism styled to make you question your own boring Zoom desk job.
