Fans of Morning Edition and All Things Considered can see where the magic happens at National Public Radio's ecofriendly headquarters. Hour-long tours peek into the newsroom and a high-tech production studio. The guides – usually former employees – entertain with insider stories. Reservations required. The on-site shop sells nifty gifts such as the Nina Totin' bag (named for longtime reporter Nina Totenberg).
