Code Switch Named "Show of the Year" by Apple Podcasts

Article

December 2020

As a leader in conversations about race and identity for nearly eight years, Code Switch has been named the first-ever “show of the year” by Apple Podcasts. The accolade follows Code Switch’s recognition by TIME and Teen Vogue as one of the “best podcasts in 2020,” and its rapid ascent to the top of the podcast charts with a 209% growth in weekly users this summer.

NPR sponsors have exclusive access to this award-winning show. In 2021, Code Switch offers:

Podcast and digital sponsorship opportunities for brands looking to align with honest, trustworthy conversations about the most pressing social issues of our time.
Broadcast opportunities starting in Spring 2021, when Code Switch will debut on public media stations across the country with a weekly hour-long broadcast program.

Founded in 2013, Code Switch is one of the pillars in NPR’s expanding portfolio of diverse programming that also includes It’s Been a Minute, Louder Than A Riot, Radio Ambulante and more.

NPR programming makes an impact.
