The shitty thing about podcasting right now is that there are SO. MANY. GOOD. IDEAS. from SO. MANY. INTERESTING. PEOPLE. and SO. LITTLE. MONEY. to make them.

Whoever created the idea of "always on" podcasts clearly never made one. B/c unless you have $$$ like NYT or are a zero-production celeb chat circle jerk, it's almost impossible to do. Plus so many good audio stories are being left on the table in wake of the always-on hegemony.

If you’ve never made a podcast before that needed to make money in order to survive (cuz like, it was your job) you have no idea how hard that is. It’s brutal. Sending love today to all my NPR podcast friends who shows have just been canceled. I know exactly what that’s like.

Too many great NPR people to note. But I will say that I harbor a secret fantasy that one day @NPRKelly will adopt me.

I'm glad his office was honest and didn't say he was suffering from "exhaustion" or "dehydration." Let's normalize mental health challenges!

John Fetterman isn't the first Senator to suffer from depression. But he's probably the first to publicly acknowledge he's getting treatment for it.

Devastated to learn that my friend & hero Judy Heumann has died. Judy was an absolute warrior. Her tireless work for disability rights made the world better for everyone. Plus, she was funny as hell & as kind as they come. A true one-of-a-kind treasure. Rest in power, friend.

@PoPville Massive police emergency/tactical response presence in Eckington. Maybe 50 police/fire vehicles. Plus an armored swat truck on the Met Branch Trail.

Confused as to why this is a problem. Seems like it gets him out of her hair for a minute!

This is a joke, right? NPR gets no direct federal funding and the competitive grants it gets from publicly funded CPB amount to ~2% of its budget. Hardly state-affiliated.
