Thistle and Shamrock
Fiona Ritchie
Take a trip to the foothills of the Scottish Highlands where The Thistle & Shamrock®, one of NPR's longest running and most popular music offerings, is created each week.
This engaging and entertaining program is produced there exclusively for NPR listeners, and is the most listened-to Celtic music program in the world.
Join award-winning host Fiona Ritchie to explore the evolving Celtic musical traditions of Europe and North America. You'll hear established and emerging artists and in-studio guests, including luminaries such as fiddler Eileen Ivers, singer-songwriter Dougie MacLean, Celtic/World music phenomenon Loreena McKennitt, The Chieftains' Paddy Moloney, and composer William Jackson. As Thistle surveys traditional Celtic music it also leads you to explore more distant landscapes and genres, investigating Celtic influences in World and contemporary music
Fiona is your bridge between the established icons of Celtic music and the next generation of musicians. Each week, let her trademark enthusiasm, rich knowledge base, and passion transport you to the worlds of Celtic music: past, present, and future.
So step into the heart of an ancient tradition of reels, jigs, ballads and laments. Then follow the pulse towards new music: an exuberant blend of irresistible rhythms, emotional voices and fascinating instruments.

Hearts of Space
Stephen Hill
HEARTS of SPACE began as a San Francisco late night radio show in 1973, went national on public radio in 1983 and to our eternal amazement, grew to almost 300 stations. We started an independent record label in 1984, ultimately releasing almost 150 albums.
In 2001 we launched an online music streaming service with nearly 700 programs — The Hearts of Space Archive. That same year we sold the record label to Valley Entertainment. While we still help produce new recordings for the label, we no longer run it day to day.
These pages tell you more about us and what we've been doing for over 30 years. Our goal is to bring you great music using the latest technology, deepen your understanding of ambient/ space/contemplative music, and save you time. The good stuff is out there. We help you find it.

Word for Word
Melinda Penkava
You've heard the sound bites. Word for Word gives you a chance to hear from the newsmakers at length. Each week we feature an interesting and timely speech on a hot topic in the news: from the war in Iraq to intelligence-gathering, education reform to immigration. Word for Word strives for balance, featuring top policymakers, thinkers and opinion leaders from the left, right and center. We draw speeches from respected venues like the National Press Club, the Chautauqua Institution, the Aspen Institute and other prestigious institutions across the country. Host Melinda Penkava, a 15-year veteran of public radio, provides the crucial background information and context. Then we open up the microphone and give our influential speakers the time they need to make a nuanced argument.

Speaking of Faith
Krista Tippett
Speaking of Faith with Krista Tippett is public radio's conversation about religion, meaning, ethics, and ideas. Each week, Tippett probes the myriad ways in which religious impulses inform every aspect of life and culture, nationally and globally. Speaking of Faith fills an important and neglected need in American media by addressing the intellectual and spiritual content of religion head-on, illuminating the ideas and practices that form the headlines from the inside.
Now in its third year as a weekly program, Speaking of Faith has brought an unprecedented range of religious perspectives, voices, and topics to listeners on-air and on-line. The Columbia Journalism Review says of Tippett: "To listen to her show is to hear how intelligent and thoughtful religious people can be when they are allowed to be subjective and not merely regurgitate dogma."

Prairie Home Companion
Garrison Keillor
There has been plenty of adventure in the past 30-plus years — broadcasts from Canada, Ireland, Scotland, England, Germany, Iceland and almost every one of the 50 states; wonderful performers, little-known and world-renowned; standing ovations and stares of bewilderment. We've missed planes, coped with lost luggage, dodged swooping bats and hungry mosquitoes, plodded through blizzards, and flown by the seat of our pants.
Today, A Prairie Home Companion is heard by more than 4 million listeners each week on some 580 public radio stations, and abroad on America One and the Armed Forces Networks in Europe and the Far East. Garrison recalls, "When the show started, it was something funny to do with my friends, and then it became an achievement that I hoped would be successful, and now it's a good way of life."

All Things Considered
Robert Siegel, Michele Norris and 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.
