Peter takes us on a wild ride of assignments from the South Pole to the Amazon to Mogadishu to Baghdad, and also prompts a rattlesnake to spit venom on his microphone.

--SCOTT SIMON, HOST OF NPR’S WEEKEND EDITION SATURDAY


Ever wonder what kind of people helped build NPR into the revered media institution it is today? Peter Breslow's rollicking memoir pulls back the curtain on what it took to make radio from the farthest reaches of the world.

--RACHEL MARTIN, NPR HOST

National Public Radio wasn’t always the journalistic treasure it is today. And Peter Breslow wasn’t always a multi-Peabody Award winner. Thankfully for NPR junkies, their paths crossed in 1982 when both were young, and they grew up together over the decades. In his memoir Outtakes, senior producer Peter Breslow reveals how NPR moved from a niche listening experience to become one of the world’s preeminent news organizations.

We are alongside Peter in the front seat as he travels the planet reporting –from Kabul to Kathmandu and from the earth’s highest point--Mt. Everest—to its lowest—the Dead Sea. Outtakes takes us behind the scenes covering history-defining breaking news and producing award winning programs like All Things Considered and Weekend Edition.

Packed with absurd hijinks, hilarious missteps and breathtaking close calls, Outtakes is a must read for NPR fans, journalists of all ages and people interested in enthralling audio storytelling.
