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

Rusty Foster @rusty.todayintabs.com · Jul 18

Canceling Colbert? It’s definitely not part of the Trump bribe. Do not put in the newspaper that this is part of the Trump bribe. We’re just canceling the number one show in its time slot because of… reasons. Backdrops! Headwinds! Serious TV business.

Still in shock - a car crashed into the building of my kids’ former nursery school. It’s a parent-run coop so I spent many hrs here and have so many fond memories. If you can spare a few $$ it would go a long way gofund.me/1d4c7ab7

As a grad of @workingfamilies.org campaign mgr bootcamp:
1. Check out this episode of Vibe Check, you'll feel better
2. HMU if you are an audio person interested in running for office

Ellie Yang Camp @eeewhysee.bsky.social · Jan 24

This Vibe Check episode with @mauricewfp.bsky.social and @samsanders.bsky.social is the most compelling, expansive, sanity-making conversation about American politics I’ve heard in a long time. Highly, highly recommended!

Maurice Mitchell 🐺 @handle.invalid · Jan 23

Listen. I’m feeling defiant in this moment.

Reminder: anything that isn't growing from the ground is shit we made up—and we can remake it.

Several faculty and students were given this designation with no explanation of why other than “violation of university policy.”

In my case, the violation could only have been filming interactions between campus cops, administrators and students during a peaceful sit in.

This is where we are.

NYU Campus Security and Administration is totally out of control.

On Wednesday - I filmed a peaceful protest in Bobst library for two hours.

Yesterday at 2pm while at home,
I received an email explaining that I’ve been designated “persona non grata” and banned from several buildings on campus.

I feel complicated about year end lists, but proud that our complicated show— made by a small but mighty team @michellemacklem.bsky.social @y00ree.bsky.social @audroma.bsky.social & #SaraNics— made this list & are in such stellar company
TY @reggieugwu.bsky.social!

Screenshot from article: "Jess Shane’s dizzying and dazzling deconstruction of the documentary industrial complex is essentially a documentary about the making of a documentary. Disenchanted with her field’s traditional ethical practices, which she thinks lean exploitative, Shane sets out to reinvent the form, inviting the show’s “main characters” to take a more collaborative (and officially compensated) role in the telling of their own stories. Even when things inevitably go awry, the inside look at how narrative sausage is made — relayed with Shane’s sharp and ultimately self-lacerating wit — is never less than captivating."

"Shane’s sharp and ultimately self-lacerating wit — is never less than captivating." Having been in mtgs w @iamjessshane.bsky.social every other week for over a year, can attest this is also true IRL. Congrats my friend

If podcasting is a team sport, Radiotopia is the guy on the bike yelling encouragement to the runners. My point is, no one makes it on their own, not even solo competitors.
