What I appreciate about this radio show/podcast is its organic origins. Bob Boilen’s job for NPR back in the day was to curate the “buttons” of music between news segments. When listeners started showing interest in those little musical snippets, he thought: Why not do a whole show composed entirely of “buttons”? From these humble origins grew an entire franchise, including Tiny Desk Concerts and multiple spinoff podcasts. NPR has always aspired to be more diverse, and NPR Music seems to finally be making good on that promise. An excellent source for new music.
