“We’re running out of guys out here. We’re on reserves. Practice squad guys. I’m ready to roll if they need me. I’m 26 years old. I played two years! Varsity! I’m in the best shape of my life!”

“God Bless America” is … not the national anthem. At the game I was at recently, some people stood and some people didn’t. It’s a piece of popular song that many people like and feel moved by, just like, say, “This Land Is Your Land.”

We talked a lot about balancing styles and regions. I'm very happy with the 2 seasons they've already programmed!

Congrats to Tiny Desk Brasil on its premiere!

I had a small part, helping our Brazilian counterparts curate (read: mostly encouragement! but also some tips). João Gomes is a great first pick. He brings a Bad Bunny-like energy to a music known as forró.

You can now add a Chilean children's show to the pantheon of puppet Tiny Desks...

NPR @npr.org · 3d

Equal parts educational and just plain silly, the Chilean puppet show makes its first trip ever to the United States to turn the Tiny Desk into a playground.
