With the exit of Ari Shapiro, NPR needed a new host for All Things Considered. They found one in Scott Detrow.
The network has announced that beginning on Monday, September 29th, Detrow will be the permanent host of the flagship afternoon show.
“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,” Detrow continued. “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 an NPR Member station, and now will be doing that job nationally.”
Detrow is no stranger to the All Things Considered brand. Since 2023, he’s served as the weekend host of the program. He originally joined NPR in 2015, where he worked covering the White House, Congress, and presidential campaigns from the Washington Desk.
In addition to his work on the weekend edition of the show, Scott Detrow has also served as the co-host of the NPR Politics Podcast, as well as the co-host of Consider This.
Earlier this month, Ari Shapiro revealed he would exit the public radio outlet and All Things Considered after nearly a decade hosting the program.
