Detrow Named Full-Time Host, NPR’s ‘All Things Considered’
• NPR announced that, effective Sept. 29, Scott Detrow will become a full-time weekday host of All Things Considered, joining the current cast of weekday hosts, Ailsa Chang, Mary Louise Kelly, and Juana Summers. It was recently announced that weekday host Ari Shapiro is departing NPR. His last day will be Oct. 1.
Since May 2023, Detrow has served as weekend host of All Things Considered and co-host of NPR’s daily news podcast, Consider This — a role he will retain.
Detrow joined NPR in 2015 and has covered the White House, Congress, and two presidential campaigns for the Washington Desk, where he also co-hosted the NPR Politics Podcast for seven years.
Detrow has spent his entire career in public radio, starting as a reporter in the newsroom at WFUV in the Bronx while a student at Fordham University. He went on to worked for several years as a statehouse reporter for member stations WITF/Harrisburg, PA and KQED/San Francisco. Detrow’s first full-time job after college was as WITF’s local host of All Things Considered.
“I’m really excited and honored to step into this role,” said Detrow. “I’m mindful of just how important All Things Considered‘s legacy is for listeners, and I also know just how much I’ve loved working with the show’s team these past two years on weekends. I can’t wait to bring listeners the news five days a week now. And at this moment where we are all focusing on strengthening the entire public media network and working together more closely than ever before, I’m proud that I started out as an ATC host at a NPR Member station, and now will be doing that job nationally.” [Photo Credit: Bruce Elliott Photography]
