Please stop assuming that too many em dashes means AI written. Some of us are producing grammatically incoherent work the honest way!

axios.com/2024/05/23/ed-… I think is my favorite episode of #1bigthing so far...even if it's FOR THE BIRDS! #Birding @edyong209 talks with @NialaBoodhoo about how birding can, among other things, help with Long covid. Plus @AGyllenhaal!

Today is yet another really rough day in media; dozens of my Vice colleagues are being laid off globally and we just got news that Jezebel, where I worked for years, is being shut down.

Episode 2 of '1 big thing' from @axios is out! And making this provided a wake-up call for me about kids and social media in the U.S. Some of the stats and emerging research are nothing short of shocking. Take a listen to @NialaBoodhoo's thoughtful interview with @Surgeon_General

Introducing "1 big thing," a new podcast from Axios where host Niala Boodhoo goes deep with leaders you know — or need to know — in business, politics, and culture. Every week, all in under 20 minutes. Listen to the trailer: trib.al/MzqNO2s trib.al/QrzIMtO


I’m so proud of what this small but MIGHTY team built in @Axios Today! Excited to work w/ @NialaBoodhoo on a new weekly, but sad for the end of this special show that proved a daily news pod could actually (seriously! truly!) be a joy to make. Grateful I got to experience that.

Jay Cowit is sound of @TheTakeaway, the historical record of @TheTakeaway, the soul of @TheTakeaway and my 7AM bestie for the past two years. The next host, show, & station lucky enough to work with him will find him to be extraordinarily talented and profoundly human.

15 years ago this hour, @TheTakeaway began airing. 4.28.08, 0600.
