NPR’s Robin Hilton, co-host of All Songs Considered, has some festival-going advice

Robin Hilton, NPR producer and co-host of All Songs Considered, seemed to be the perfect person to speak with. Given that NPR and All Songs Considered cover pretty much every major festival in the United States each year, we figured that Hilton, a Kansas native and University of Kansas graduate, is something of an authority on what makes a festival succeed or fail. He was kind enough to converse with us by e-mail last week.
