They began at a time when podcasts barely existed and they invented this podcast and themselves. It’s evolved over time (15+ years!) as the hosts themselves also have evolved. Bob Boilen started as the person who chose the music that played between the stories for All Things Considered, the NPR show. He is kind, introspective, fair and certainly knows an awful lot about music. He, Robin Hilton, Stephen Thompson and all the others are like old friends to me now and I imagine that many people feel this way. This is by no means a trend – but We wanted to let you know that All Songs Considered might be the best podcast ever. The balance between relevant and cool is unrivaled and listening ist just a joy.
