It’s Been a Minute HITS the Bay On NPR’s new weekly program It’s Been a Minute, host Sam Sanders talks with journalists, newsmakers, and listeners about news, popular culture, and digital life. Think of it as an irrever- ent, casual space for listeners who don’t know how to process the pace of current events, but can’t think about anything else. As a member of NPR’s election unit, Sam covered the in- tersection of culture, pop culture, and politics during the 2016 election, and was one of the original cohosts of the NPR Politics Podcast. In his free time, Sanders runs, eats bacon, and contin- ues his love/hate relationship with Twitter. Learn more about Sam below, and hear the weekly one- hour program It’s Been a Minute on Saturdays at 10am. Photo courtesy NPR
