Episode 8 — From Tiny Desks to Tiny Shots with NPR Music's Bob Boilen

Bob Boilen is the creator and host of NPR Music’s All Songs Considered and of their Tiny Desk Concert series, which hosts well-known and emerging artists for intimate performances filmed at his desk. Anyone who’s a music geek with an internet connection knows what I’m talking about. But when Covid-19 caught America in its grip in early 2020, Bob found himself with more free evenings than he had ever experienced. As a composer and musician, Bob has always been passionate about music. But pandemic accelerated his passion for photography - in particular, Macro. We talked in early Spring about his time behind the lens and what spurs him to take the shots he takes. You can see a sample of his music, macro and 360 shots on his website at BobBoilen.info, and on Instagram @tinydesk. And remember, you can follow The Shot on Instagram @the.shot.podcast, and on our website at shotpodcast.com Song: Lonely Party by Arc De Soleil.
