All Things Considered

Listen to All Songs ConsideredAudio-only: Real Audio | Windows Media

I've been directing All Things Considered since 1989. I can't imagine a better job. It has all the thrill and adrenaline of live theater, and all the details that go into good journalism. Picking music is the most obvious part of my job, but it is a very small part of what a director does. In fact I pick the music for All Things Considered while I'm directing the show, something that makes some folks rather nervous!

If you are interested in knowing more about how I pick the music for All Things Considered you can also read from our Frequently Asked Questions.
