Overview

  • NPR said Detrow will move from hosting the weekend edition to the weekday chair on Sept. 29 and will continue on the Consider This daily news podcast.
  • Ari Shapiro’s last All Things Considered broadcast is set for Sept. 26, and he has said his departure is not tied to recent budget cuts.
  • Detrow joined NPR in 2015, has hosted weekend All Things Considered since 2023, and earned an Edward R. Murrow Award for breaking news coverage.
  • Republican-led votes to defund public media, led by President Donald Trump, are reported to put roughly 115 small and rural stations at risk.
  • As the sector adjusts, NPR has seen other high-profile departures and member station WHYY is partnering with PRX on a new weekly sports program hosted by David Greene.
