I've got a story to pitch them and I've been trying to simply find the appropriate person to pitch to and it's impossible as no one at NPR has any friggin' desire to return calls or anything.
I'm a reporter with a pretty interesting piece to pitch and it's annoying as hell when people don't get back.

3. I know people who work for our local affiliate.
Somehow I think that's not what you want, though. Although it might be a good place to start, with a local affiliate. They're probably easier to get ahold of anyway.

4. Minnesota Public Radio is part of American Public Media
which is as big as NPR is in the public radio world. I would contact them and give them a try.
