You can copy the story ID from the original URL. It's the "long" number just after the date — e.g. in the following URL: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/06/21/621752789/a-lost-secret-how-to-get-kids-to-pay-attention https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/06/21/6217527... it's 621752789. I would then click any random story on the default "plain text site" (https://text.npr.org/ https://text.npr.org/), to quickly get a base URL for a story, and then replace the sId in the URL with the copied number. Thus: https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId=621752789 https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId=621752789
