With a name inspired by the First Amendment, 1A explores important issues such as policy, politics, technology, and what connects us across the fissures that divide the country. The program also delves into pop culture, sports, and humor. 1A's goal is to act as a national mirror-taking time to help America look at itself and to ask what it wants to be.

File photo: In this Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012 file photo, runners make their way down Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia during the Philadelphia Marathon. A study released on Wednesday, April 12, 2017 shows that marathons can be risky for hearts, but not necessarily those of the runners. It takes longer for nearby residents to get to a hospital for emergency heart care on the day of a race and they're less likely to survive.
