In 2013, the unexpected departure of NPR CEO Gary Knellleft the network, once again, in desperate need of a leader. So the board tapped Jarl Mohn-- a long-time philanthropist and media executive -- to step in and take the reins.

It's now been over a year and a half since Mohn joined NPR. This hour, we find out what he's learned and how envisions the future of public radio. We also hear from you. What questions do you have for NPR's president and CEO?

GUESTS:

Jarl Mohn - President and CEO of NPR
John Van Hoesen - Senior Vice President and Chief Content Officer at Vermont Public Radio
Sarah Ashworth - News Director at New Hampshire Public Radio
