NPR's All Things Considered with Local Host Terry Joy
Robert Siegel, Michele Norris, Melissa Block
At 5 p.m. EDT on May 3, 1971, the first edition of All Things Considered went on the air. In the more than three decades since, almost everything about the program has changed — the hosts and producers, the length of the program, the equipment used, even the audience. But one thing remains the same: the determination to get the day's big stories on the air, and to bring them alive through sound and voice.
For two hours every weekday, All Things Considered hosts Robert Siegel, Michele Norris and Melissa Block present the program's trademark mix of news, interviews, commentaries, reviews and offbeat features.
The program rings with the disparate voices of its commentators, from veteran analyst Daniel Schorr and storyteller Kevin Kling to poet Andrei Codrescu. It hums with the distinctive music that threads between reports — music collected in the online program All Songs Considered. And by the time All Things Considered marked its 30th anniversary on the air, the program had earned many of journalism's highest honors, including the Peabody, duPont and Overseas Press Club awards.
In 1977, All Things Considered expanded to seven days a week with one-hour news magazines Saturday and Sunday evenings.

New opportunities to bring great music to the airwaves are constantly being evaluated. Live music in the studio, live concert broadcasts, and new electronic gadgets are all on the list.

NPR's World of Opera
Lisa Simeone
World of Opera with host Lisa Simeone brings listeners compelling performances from top American and international opera companies. For three and a half hours each week, World of Opera encompasses the seminal operas of the 17th century; the political and social satires of the 18th century; the "bel canto" masterpieces of Donizetti and Bellini; the revolutionary 19th-century works of Verdi and Wagner; and, of course, operas in the "true-to-life" verismo style of Puccini and Mascagni.
Begun in April 1984, World of Opera goes beyond the traditional, operatic vernacular to showcase opera as anything but an elitist form of art. As the series reveals, opera has been to past centuries what the cinema is to us today: a star-studded, multi-faceted, multi-media form of entertainment, evoking a world of tragedy and triumph, passion and seduction, intrigue and disaster, jealousies and dreams — a world that people return to over and over again. In fact, opera is as popular today as it ever has been.
