This week's episode of @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social is what nightmares are made of for podcast ops people like myself. Check it out!

Um, I have less training than a barber or cosmetologist, and I’d wager same goes for most working people. Are people not aware of the super rigorous training these folks need to become licensed?

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Ireland's artist basic income returned €1.39 for every €1 spent. They made it permanent. South Korea just announced plans to follow. Now Scotland too.

This would be a great time for anyone booked on SNL to pull a Macklemore and loudly proudly back out.

I agree Fetterman sucks, but doesn't this look like a rogue episode of The Memory Palace, @natedimeo.bsky.social?

In high school I had a perm and braces. I also dressed up as a soccer mom for Halloween my senior year and no one got it bc apparently that was how I looked all the time 🥹

"My wife and I..." I am a single parent w two older, busy kids, a FT job and a life. If I could split the labor w someone, I would def entertain more.

My “specialized techniques”: 1. Air frying chicken 2. Instant potting beans (no soak!)

Israel is killing journalists in Gaza at an unrelenting pace. Their deaths provide evidence of a disturbing pattern—and make clear the need to see the fullness of their stories. Read Azmat Khan and Aseel Mousa in CJR. www.cjr.org/feature/gaza...

Thinking of that time after Biden got elected, when a VERY fancy lawyer and Dem strategist called me on the phone like, “Moira, everyone at my firm is mad that the Title IX rules are going to be stricter, because it will be bad for our university clients to have to punish rape.”

seriously, if you don't listen to @neverpo.st, WHAT IS YOUR GLITCH

Even more bad news for Atlanta local journalism: @atlpresscollective.com, which has extensively covered "Cop City", ICE, and Flock cameras, and a finalist for the @inn.org Insight Award for Visual Journalism, announced today that they have run out of cash to stay open beyond the end of March.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

I reviewed dozens of Radiotopia pitches today. In spite of what's going on in podcasting, people are still dreaming and making cool shit and it makes me really happy.

1. Constitution Making 2. Management 100 3. Physics for Poets 4. Cultural Anthropology 5. War in Literature

so excited for this!

In my spare time I run an opera company, and I have made it my #1 priority to pay artists asap. As soon as an invoice hits my inbox, I drop whatever I'm doing and pay it. This is me drunk on power, LOL.

but how are you supposed to know if the car parked in the spot you dug out is the car that moved your space saver in the first place?

Hypocrisy exposed is my favorite topic in any genre, medium etc, and kids exposing adult hypocrisy is my absolute jam. This takedown by a 7th grader is 🧑‍🍳😙🤌 micahblachman.beehiiv.com/p/is-educati...

Good advice for everyone - choose yourself

I am an avowed inbox-zero emailer but I can’t quite bring myself to delete this edition of the excellent Continuous Wave, many many gems in this one…audio nerds don’t miss this one

I knocked on doors for Jared Golden, this is super disappointing

ooh...i already know this is going to be good...

Alex is not just a cool dude, but a good dude committed to doing things the right way. And a freakishly great podcaster, one of the GOATS. He and his show deserve your support! (Also, #MedicareForAll)

Does anyone know what's up w @pixelfedapp.bsky.social? Hasn't loaded for me in days.

If it were up to me: - yes to neighborhood schools - all school fundraising (yes including Latin) goes into one big pot and gets distributed to all schools

Doesn't happen very often, but there are a bunch of Radiotopia shows doing live shows/appearances in the next few months. I did a round-up in today's Citizen, our monthly newsletter. radiotopia.cmail20.com/t/i-e-zstljd... Subscribe here if you don't already www.radiotopia.fm/citizen

I meet w Never Post once a month about the state of their pod, and I'm STILL excited to listen, bc they are just that good at making good audio. Check them out!

Netflix said I'd love The New Yorker at 100 doc and they were right. Argh why am I so bougie

Julia's advice about how to be a good interview guest - SO GOOD

Is it a trip to go to work everyday knowing you’re working with the GOATs of your field? Yes it is. time.com/collections/...

I will never say which is my favorite Radiotopia podcast but I can say Radiotopia feels more like Radiotopia when Articles is dropping new episodes 😎

Would sure be a coup for public media to nab Colbert...
