Large Tiny Desk News!
• Fellow fans of Tiny Desk concerts — rejoice! NPR proudly announces Tiny Desk Radio, a new weekly radio show launching April 17. Each hour-long broadcast will feature three Tiny Desk Concerts along with info about the artists, and stories about the performances. The show will be hosted and produced by Bobby Carter alongside Anamaria Sayre, co-host of Alt.Latino and a curator and producer for Tiny Desk Radio.
NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert series launched in 2008. Since then, more than 1200 concerts have been recorded at the now famous Tiny Desk — former All Songs Considered host and Tiny Desk series co-creator Bob Boilen‘s festive workspace at NPR HQ in Washington, D.C. — adorned with years of music souvenirs and memorabilia. The series has featured performances from artists of every genre at every phase of their careers. In 2024 the series averaged more than 1 million views every day, peaking at 5.6 million views on December 20, 2024.
“Our team at NPR Music is proud to curate what is likely the most popular video concert series in the world,” said Suraya Mohamed, Executive Producer for NPR Music. “Now we are excited to share Tiny Desk performances across the public radio airwaves.”
Tiny Desk Radio can be heard on radio stations across the country starting April 17. Fans can also get more of their favorite music series by watching the three Tiny Desk Concerts highlighted in each week’s episode on NPR.org.
