I'm delighted The Harvard Plan won first prize for narrative podcast from the @wearesfj.bsky.social. The Harvard Plan was reported and hosted by @ilyamarritz.bsky.social and was a perfect partnership between @bostonglobe.com and @onthemedia.bsky.social.

Miranda July's novel "All Fours" has become a touchstone for how our culture thinks and talks about older women. It’s expanded beyond the page to a kind of movement. On Modern Love, July reflects on the anger and desire that shaped her writing. nyti.ms/4iCUP4j

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.
