Reveal
Saturdays at 2 p.m.

Reveal, from The Center for Investigative Reporting and PRX, is a first-of-its-kind, weekly one-hour public radio show dedicated to investigative reporting.

The Peabody Award-winning show features reporting by CIR’s newsroom, public radio stations and nonprofit and for-profit newsrooms, large and small. Each Reveal episode is built around a theme and features an original investigative story, along with other stories that deliver context, texture, and a deeper understanding of the theme.

Reveal breaks down complex investigations into compelling, narrative-driven stories that inform, engage and – we hope – occasionally inspire.
