Attention, podcast aficionados: NPR announced Thursday morning that it's changing the lineup of anchors for its flagship evening show "All Things Considered." For the last 12 years, Melissa Block has been anchoring the show, but she will be stepping down in August, The Associated Press reports.
In Block's place will be two new hosts, London correspondent Ari Shapiro and national correspondent Kelly McEvers. Radio, print, and television reporting veteran Michel Martin will be the new weekend host.
