Mass layoffs are carried out by the nonprofit media organisation National Public Radio (NPR), based in Washington, which results in the cancellation of numerous podcasts.
NPR acknowledged on Thursday that it had layoff 10% of its workforce or about 100 employees and that it often rolls back its workforce from 1,200 to around 1,050.
According to NPR, the majority of the impacted employees will continue in their positions through April 28.
