In the Know

Overview
Lauren Caspian, a stop-motion puppet and the third most popular host on public radio, embodies the well-meaning yet hypocritical nature we all recognize. Each episode delves into the behind-the-scenes creation of his show, In the Know, featuring candid interviews with real guests. The charm lies in Lauren's interactions with a quirky team of fellow puppet NPR staff, all equally endearing in their own misguided ways. The blend of humor and heartfelt moments makes this unique series a delightful exploration of both the puppet and human experiences.
