All Songs Considered is a weekly online multimedia program started in January 2000 by NPR’s All Things Considered director Bob Boilen. At first the show featured information and streaming audio about the songs used as bumper music on All Things Considered. The program has turned into a source of discovery for new music of all genres. One is as likely to hear electronica from the Congo as to hear guitarist Les Paul[citation needed]. In August 2005 the program began podcasting for free.
