NPR Music appoints Robin Hilton the new host of “All Songs Considered.” Hilton has been serving as co-host of the program since 2008 and was integral to the launch of NPR’s “Tiny Desk.” The network veteran was named Supervising Producer and was part of the NPR Music management team from 2016 until 2021 when he became the Senior Producer for Podcasts.
He succeeds Bob Boilen as the main host of “All Songs Considered.” Boilen, who developed the program, left NPR last October after over three decades with the public media network.
"It's amazing having Robin back in the host chair of this iconic show. So much has changed since All Songs debuted, but Robin has the ability to help our audience connect the dots from then to now to the future,” VP of Visuals and Music Strategy Keith Jenkins said in a release. “With Robin at the helm, All Songs will continue to bring the essence of NPR Music, a celebration of new music discovery, to audiences everywhere."
