On May 3, 1971, All Things Considered debuted on 90 public radio stations. In the five decades since, almost everything about the program has changed, from the hosts, producers, editors and reporters to the length of the program, the equipment used and even the audience.
However there is one thing that remains the same: each show consists of the biggest stories of the day, thoughtful commentaries, insightful features on the quirky and the mainstream in arts and life, music and entertainment, all brought alive through sound.
Join KVPR and local All Things Considered host Soreath Hok for local, national and global news and insights, every weekday from 3:30 p.m. till 6:00 p.m. You can also catch the weekend version of All Things Considered Saturdays and Sundays at 5:00 p.m.
