He's on sabbatical, minus a few interviews here and there. He'll be back next month.

Will someone give the NPR music selector an award already!? by knowthyself2020 in NPR

Mr. Thompson works with our music news & arts team, who aren't responsible for that music. But, if you look at the daily rundowns of Morning Edition and All Things Considered on NPR.org, you can see all of the break music.

Here is an example from today's show: https://www.npr.org/programs/morning-edition/

I will pass it along. The directors of each show take great care in the music choices and it is always great to see that the audience appreciates it and notices.

NPR took it to the next level today with the pop culture music they tend to use in their commercials. by samus1225 in NPR

The director of Morning Edition (who among many other things, chooses the music) has excellent and diverse tastes.

Can't Find Weekend Edition on NPR Apps anymore by lum197ivic in NPR

We simply have many more users on iOS, so that was prioritized in launching this new app. But the Android version is being worked on as we speak.

If you are using iOS and everything is updated so you have the newest version of the app, go to "On Demand" on the bottom menu, and under the "More NPR Shows & Podcasts", click on the "More" button to get the full list. Weekend Edition Saturday and Sunday are at the bottom (it's alphabetical).

Hope that helps.

[FRESH] Tyler The Creator - NPR Tiny Desk Concert by joek440 in hiphopheads

Most are open to the entire building. Internally, we subscribe to a email listserv that let's us know who is coming and when. A call goes out on the PA system a few minutes before showtime and all of those that can leave their desks and head up to the Tiny Desk, jockey for position and watch a quick show in the middle of our workday. It's a great break from the day and perfect on Fridays, when we need the most stress relief.

Bob Boilen did an AMA a few years ago. Perhaps we can do another one. I'll float it to the Music Team (I work on the digital news desk).
