In 1988, a determined Bob Boilen started showing up on NPR's doorstep every day, looking for a way to contribute his skills in music and broadcasting to the network. His persistence paid off, and within a few weeks he was hired, on a temporary basis, to work for All Things Considered. Less than a year later, Boilen was directing the show and continued to do so for the next 18 years.
"Tiny Desk" co-creator Bob Boilen is leaving NPR. The executive, who also created and hosts "All Songs Considered," will depart Oct. 2.
