Ms. Kelly, a veteran journalist, is one of the hosts of NPR's afternoon/evening news program, All Things Considered.
She is an excellent interviewer and reporter, and her manner, on the air, is appealing. She is straightforward, thorough; there is often, about her, an agreeable kind
of reserve.
Here are two of her recent on-air conversations:
In the first, from September 2nd, Kelly speaks with two physicians--one from Texas, one from Florida--whose hospitals have been overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients ("the vast majority" of the patients, as noted in the segment, were unvaccinated).
The second interview, from August 31st, is with novelist Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train; Hawkins and Kelly discuss her new novel, A Slow Fire Burning.
In addition to Ms. Kelly, All Things Considered features hosts Audie Cornish, Ailsa Chang,
and Ari Shapiro; typically, two of the
hosts appear on a given broadcast.
