Projects
Atlantic Public Media is dedicated to encouraging citizen stories, a mission carried through the work we create — new public media institutions, acclaimed series and documentaries, award-winning websites, and a local public radio service known for its innovation — all designed to keep the public in public media.
APM produces the Peabody Award-winning The Moth Radio Hour dedicated to connecting people through the art and craft of storytelling. APM also developed This I Believe, which was broadcast on NPR for many years, and spawned best-selling books still used in educational institutions around the world. We have also produced environment and science-based projects, like our podcast for The Encyclopedia of Life and the radio series Stories From The Heart of the Land with The Nature Conservancy.
Our projects reflect our commitment to presenting creative work about life and the human story.
