All Things Considered is a vital daily companion to people who strive to stay informed and in touch. Since its debut in 1971, this daily afternoon radio newsmagazine has been a leader and innovator in broadcast journalism. Through the incisive and intuitive, relevant and reflective reporting that characterizes the program, All Things Considered transforms the way listeners understand current events and view the world.
Heard by more than 11 million* people on over 600 radio stations each week, All Things Considered is one of the most popular programs in America. Every day, hosts Melissa Block, Michele Norris, and Robert Siegel (Jennifer Ludden on weekends) present two hours of breaking news mixed with compelling analysis, insightful commentaries, interviews, and special - sometimes quirky - features. Threaded between reports is the distinctive music that inspired the creation of the online program All Songs Considered.
