All Songs ConsideredMusical Entrepreneurs
Ever wonder how NPR selects the music played between news stories? Today we speak with Bob Boilen, the director of NPR's evening news program All Things Considered and creator of All Songs Considered, NPR's multimedia, Online music program. Boilen started All Songs Considered after receiving countless letters from listeners who wanted to know more about the music played between stories on ATC. In addition to its Online component, All Songs Considered has developed a popular CD series, the third installment of which was recently released and this week is a WNYC fundraising premium. Also, we're joined by Benjamin Zander, the British-born conductor who founded the Boston Philharmonic in 1979. Zander has developed a devoted cult following for his acclaimed series of Mahler performancesand if that wasn't enough, he also works as a motivational speaker.
