Falling For Music: How Bob Boilen Listens
b'
Bob Boilen has a job many of us dream of: listening to and talking about music at NPR. A concert at his tiny desk is a dream gig for up and coming performers, and his long-running All Songs Considered show is the cornerstone of NPR Music. Bob sat down with his friend Dmitri Vietze to give his perspective on the technology of listening to, curating, and creating music. How does Bob manage the lifetime\\u2019s worth of new music he receives in a day? What does it take to catch his attention? How did the rise of All Songs Considered, NPR\\u2019s first online audio show, presage the podcast boom? What\\u2019s the one music tech innovation Bob yearns for? Learn what Bob\\u2019s favorite tools are for making music, and why he sees software engineers as his collaborators.
