All Songs Considered is a weekly online multimedia program started in January 2000 by

webcasting and podcasting live concerts from Washington, D.C.'s 9:30 Club, including acts such as Animal Collective, The Decemberists, Neko Case, and Tom Waits.[3]

Boilen and producer/co-host Robin Hilton write a blog where they introduce music from unsigned and unknown bands and solicit ideas for shows from listeners.[4] There was an online music channel, "All Songs 24/7", which used to stream music from the program's archive, however this was discontinued in March 2019.[5]

In 2007, All Songs Considered became the cornerstone program of

National Public Radio
. Some NPR stations also directly broadcast the program on terrestrial radio.

All Songs Considered is also the spiritual and physical home of

Tiny Desk Concerts
, as the concert series is recorded live at the office desk of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen.

All Songs Considered was a nominee for the 2002 Webby Awards in the "Websites and Mobile Sites" category.[6]
