Reading Noah Adams’ book in the early ‘90s about his work made working at NPR station an ambition of mine

My dad was a highly-skilled union bricklayer. He semi-retired at 65 and fully retired at 70. He lived to almost 95. But I never remember him suggesting I try to get a construction job out of high school instead of going to college and he was proud of who I became.

Not that @mcdonaldsjp.bsky.social needs more money; but I wonder how many millions in sales the Golden Archeshave lost over the decades when someone has told a customer, “I’m sorry the shake machine is down.” #millionsnotserved

It's almost like if you put a pro-Trump MAGA apologist at the head of CBS News you'll get Islamophobic, anti-democratic propaganda.

It’s going to be a great year @globeradio.org

This dog was a three term mayor of Whoville.

Hey, @washingtonpost.com, what kind of BS headline is this? Your writer needs to go back to school and take a few more poli-sci courses.

Zendaya, Kylie Jenner and Demi Moore have all walked the red carpet in Fecal Matter.

“i-i-i-i”

I’m really excited to be the new GM of @globeradio.org. I’ll be working with a great team that has made Goshen College a prime destination for students to learn the art of broadcasting in a community that has fully integrated Globe Media into its mission.

This week on Michiana Chronicles, Tony Krabill reflects on almost three decades at WVPE on his last day as program director.

My last day at WVPE is May 29. I have accepted a position with Goshen College as general manager of @globeradio.org and will teach a couple of classes. Jason Samuel will still be there, but is building the college’s disc golf program. Thanks, @sidshroyer.bsky.social for these kind words about me.

To my own chagrin, I often allow the second wolf to be the alpha

It’s about time! End the media capitulation to authoritarianism

Not this Matt Dillon

He meant this Matt Dillon

Therapists say we're overusing the word. Here's what it actually means — and what the Ingrid Bergman film that helped birth the word can teach us about it.

There's a line of code in Microsoft Windows that says, more or less, "if major news breaks and a reporter needs to go live please restart their computer for 'updates' immediately."

For context

“Prove they are Mennonite. They don’t look Mennonite.” 🙄

Please take a media literacy moment and stop posting that the young boy in the Super Bowl halftime show was Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who was detained by ICE. It was a child actor, who posted about it on social media. www.instagram.com/reel/DUhUaQp...

I’m told this was the TPUSA halftime show

I remember this vividly. I was 13. I’m curious: Has there been any acknowledgment from the ABC Sports crew on tonight’s Monday Night Football broadcast of the historic role Howard Cosell played in informing the world of John Lennon’s death on this date 45 years ago?

Oh gosh, I feel this!

All these people who think that being around gay people will “turn” them. And I keep asking my daughter to be a lesbian. AND SHE WON’T.

This week on Michiana Chronicles, Sid Shroyer says he feels “unmoored, confused and cut off from the reason to believe…. The truth in the world as I knew it has vanished.”

Too many people’s inside thoughts are outside thoughts nowadays… Shared to mass audiences of people that never should know about those peoples’ inside OR outside thoughts… All flattened into the worst algorithmic mobs that reward the most unhinged and emotional posting.

So anyway, I’m dealing with the Vibe vibe

I got my start in radio when WEMC was located in the Astral Hall studios. I’m beyond thrilled to see Eastern Mennonite University use this space getting for audio again!

News Director, Shelli Harmon-Baker, and Program Director, Tony Krabill, have a conversation about what is next for WVPE. They talk about programs that are moving or leaving and also about additional local news.

This week on Michiana Chronicles, we revisit a 2017 essay from Ken Smith remembering an OSHA investigator telling his father government regulations are “written in someone’s blood” after his brother’s death while working on a utility line.

This week on Michiana Chronicles, April Lidinsky explains the shared language of gardeners.

Probably the only time EVER that the font for my name will be larger than Sara Bareilles. No, that is NOT going to my head. I have TWO lines

Seems appropriate that Ozzy left us while we’re going off the rails on a crazy train.

Before Stephen Colbert, CBS cancelled The Smothers Brothers

@wgbh.org Can we steal this!

Holy buckets! @kuow.org raised $1.5 million in 12 hours after launching an emergency fundraising campaign. That is incredible. Seattle stepped up.

I talked to @wsbt22.bsky.social today about the impact of federal funding cuts to public media

Incredible work from @wgbh.org here.

JAMIE LEE CURTIS REACTS TO 'LATE SHOW' CANCELLATION: 'THEY'RE TRYING TO SILENCE PEOPLE'

I am not “deep dive” familiar with the Stooges, but after this hell week for public media in Congress, producing this Michiana Chronicles piece for @brettmcneil.bsky.social was incredibly therapeutic.
