NPR To Feature Thistle Farms This Week

This week, tune into National Public Radio (NPR) to hear Thistle Farms featured on four of their top-rated shows: Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Talk Of The Nation and Tell Me More.


“Nashville: Up from Prostitution”
will debut on the afternoon drive-time news show, All Things Considered, on Monday, April 25. Two second pieces are slated to air on Morning Edition on the 26th and 27th. Additional coverage will be on Tell Me More on the 25th and Talk Of The Nation on the 28th.

The series was created and produced by veteran NPR correspondent, Jacki Lyden, known for award winning reporting during the Gulf War and in post-Taliban Afghanistan, and National Geographic’s photojournalist Stephen Alvarez. In tandem with the story, Alvarez created a ten-minute video clip on Magdalene/Thistle Farms, which will be featured on NPR.org beginning Monday the 25th.


Five to seven million listeners hear NPR’s two top-rated shows daily, with estimates for Morning Edition reaching up to thirteen million. We are grateful for the opportunity to share our story of hope with so many people!

  3. I listened to two of the stories and was SO touched by the bravery, honesty, strength, and grace of all of the Women of Thistle Farms and Magdalene that I arrived to work both days with tear stained cheeks! You all can depend on me as a sustaining contributor to Magdalene and a lifetime customer of Thistle Farms. Much gratitude for sharing with the rest of the world – you inspire me.
