Producer and Host, NPR Music
Robin Hilton is a producer for the popular NPR Music show All Songs Considered, and host of NPR Music's Second Stage, a daily online feature and podcast presenting unsigned artists and bands. For Second Stage, Hilton combs through stacks of CDs to find the best songs from emerging musicians; the cream of the crop are often featured on All Songs Considered.

From 1989 to 1996, Hilton worked for NPR member stations as a Senior Producer and Assistant News Director and was a long-time contributing reporter to NPR's daily news programs.
