All Things Considered
Read about Michele Norris
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 programAll Songs Considered. And by the timeAll 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 Consideredexpanded to seven days a week with one-hour news magazines Saturday and Sunday evenings.
KISU-FM began broadcasting All Things Considered on September 8th, 2008. The program includes local news breaks at 4 and 32 minutes past the hours of the 4 & 5 o'clock hours. We look forward to a very positive response from the community.
