NPR's Bob Mondello and the search for a voice lost to time.

Each day on this podcast we bring you the context behind the headlines.

Headlines about President Trump or foreign policy or what's playing out on America's streets.

This story is smaller. More personal. About one person’s search for a voice he thought he’d never hear again.

But it moved us. And we wanted to share it.
