“Tikkun Olam; leave the world a better place than you found it” Ari Shapiro, the voice many depend on to bring their news as the host of All Things Considered started as an intern for NPR right after college and quickly rose through the ranks. After four years as NPR's White House Correspondent during President Obama's terms, Ari spent two years as the International Correspondent before being asked to host All Things Considered. He’s reported from above the Arctic Circle and aboard Air Force One. He's covered wars in Iraq, Ukraine, and Israel, and he has filed stories from five continents.
During his first two years on the program, listenership to All Things Considered grew at an unprecedented rate, with more people tuning in during a typical quarter-hour than any other program on the radio. Shapiro has an unusual side-hustle for a news correspondent, he moonlights singing with Pink Martini, the shape-shifting pop orchestra that makes a joyful noise all over the world including venues like Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl. A few years ago Ari assembled his own stories from his years as a journalist, paired them with songs to make his first solo cabaret show- a beautiful piece called Homeward. On stage he was most recently seen performing with the Scottish actor/ singer Alan Cumming in their new duo show, Och and Oy.
Ari and his husband Michael Gottleib inadvertently became faces of the fight for gay marriage when 2004 footage of their union was captured on the steps of San Francisco City Hall in the first few weeks after mayor Gavin Newsome performed a civil disobedience by issuing licences for same sex-marriage. He lives in Washington DC with his husband and dogs Simone and Bruce.
