Mary Louise Kelly: NPR host, war reporter, mother … spy novelist? | Life in Seven Songs

In this live episode of Life in Seven Songs, recorded at the 2025 Aspen Ideas Festival, NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly sits down with host Sophie Bearman for a deeply personal conversation that spans war zones, motherhood, hearing loss, and late-in-life love. Mary Louise — best known as co-host of NPR’s All Things Considered — shares how losing her hearing at 40 changed her relationship to music, why she walked away from her dream job to write spy fiction, and how she fell in love again at 52 to the tune of a Yacht Rock classic. A wide-ranging, funny, and emotional interview from a journalist whose reporting shaped our understanding of the post-9/11 world — and whose song choices might surprise you. 00:00 – Live from Aspen: Welcome Mary Louise Kelly 03:00 – Mary Louise Kelly takes the stage 05:34 – Song 1: “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” 08:08 – On Her Relationship With Her Own Mother 09:33 – Song 2: “Sweet Emotion” 12:25 – Song 3: “Champagne Supernova” 15:06 – The Power of Asking Questions 18:15 – Tension Between Work and Parenting 23:24 – Song 4: “Unwritten” 26:17 – Writing Spy Fiction 28:04 – Song 5: “What Does the Fox Say?” 32:34 – Coming Back to NPR 34:35 – Song 6: “Let Your Love Flow” 40:33 – Song 7: “Give Me One Reason” 42:04 – What Comes Next 43:24 – Advice for Working Moms 44:53 – Thank You The San Francisco Standard is the Bay Area’s fastest growing source for news and information.
