Inskeep was hired by NPR in 1996. His first full-time assignment was the 1996 presidential primary in New Hampshire.[9] Inskeep has been the host of Morning Edition since 2004.[10]

In January 2022, Inskeep interviewed then-former U.S. President Donald Trump over the telephone. He asked questions on several topics, including COVID-19 vaccinations; the 2020 presidential election; and the future of the Republican Party in the 2022 midterm elections. When Inskeep pressed Trump about attempts to overturn the 2020 election and the 2021 United States Capitol attack, the former president suddenly hung up the phone.[11]
