Robert Siegel to leave All Things Considered Robert Siegel, one of the most distinctive voices on NPR’s airwaves, will be stepping down as co-host of NPR’s All Things Considered next January after having hosted the program for 30 years. “This is a decision long in the making and not an easy one,” Siegel said. “Looking ahead to my 70s, which start all too soon, I feel that it is time for me to begin a new phase of life. Over the next few months, I hope to figure out what that will be.” Siegel started at NPR as a newscaster in 1976. He was a senior editor in NPR’s London bureau and the director of the news and information department before he became host of ATC in 1987. Siegel “reported from every corner of the country and around the world,” NPR executives said in a statement. “He is the consummate student, a person whose quest for the answers has benefited millions of listeners over the years.” NPR will be conducting a national search for the next host of All Things Considered.

StoryCorps is here! The StoryCorps traveling recording studio is now in Bloomington as part of its cross-country tour. Here’s your chance to record your story or the story of someone you know. Inside the StoryCorps MobileBooth (an Airstream trailer outfitted with a recording studio), two people record a meaningful conversation about who they are, what they’ve learned in life, and how they want to be remembered. A trained StoryCorps facilitator guides you through the interview process. At the end of the 40-minute recording session, you’ll receive a complimentary CD copy of your interview. With your permission, a second copy is archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress for future generations to hear. The MobileBooth is parked at Showers Plaza 1A on the B-Line Trail to June 23. Reserve your recording session by calling StoryCorps’ 24-hour toll-free reservation line at 1-800-850-4406 or by visiting storycorps.org/reservations. StoryCorps is the nonprofit organization that celebrates the stories of everyday Americans. Having collected more than 65,000 interviews from Americans in 50 states, StoryCorps has gathered one of the largest single collections of human voices ever recorded. Says StoryCorps’ founder Dave Isay, “Each interview reminds people that their lives matter and will not be forgotten.”

StoryCorps’ visit is “a chance for our listeners to hear tales they’ve never heard their neighbors tell,” says WFIU Station Operations Director John Bailey. “And, for some people, it will be an opportunity to capture the voices of their loved ones for posterity. StoryCorps represents the essence of public broadcasting: it is about listening and understanding.”
