Michel Martin's All Things Considered Debut

The program's new weekend host is shaking things up.

This weekend Michel Martin will host her inaugural episode of All Things Considered.

Martin’s host position was announced back in July, when NPR reported that All Things Considered host Melissa Block would be leaving the program. Martin is one of three new hosts joining the All Things Considered family: Ari Shapiro and Kelly McEvers joined as weekday hosts in September.

NPR promises that the new version of the weekend program will introduce new segments and will embrace the fairly sad reality of the “new weekend.”

“For many people, Saturday isn’t a time to relax and unwind, but a day of work,” says the program’s new executive producer Kenya Young.
