Hosted by Ramtin Arablouei and Rund Abdelfatah, NPR's **Throughline** operates on the premise that the past is never really past. The show uses immersive, cinematic sound design to explore the history behind today's headlines, tracing the often-overlooked origins of current events. By connecting yesterday’s narratives to modern reality—from political conflicts to cultural shifts—it provides the critical context needed to understand the world as it is now. It is history told not just as facts, but as an auditory experience.
