When I started at NPR 25 years ago things were very different. We were in the last part of the heyday of audio engineering, since we were still an analog shop.  It took an acknowledged amount of skill to do what we did, & the bar was high. Then digital came along. – at Los Angeles, CA

A fellow #MassHole gave a speech to impressionable minds at the greatest university within one mile of 42.37343° N, 71.11947° W. It’s worth listening to. #Conan youtu.be/yHBasrew8yY

This is one of the very few times. I have felt FOMO while working at NPR West. Though I did watch the live stream. youtu.be/wxaXWSVhRXU?si=WUca…

Doing the #Radio thing @BMOStadium listening to @TalkSoccer’s play by play on @ESPNLosAngeles #ItsAGoodDay #LAFC #ShoulderToShoulder #MyDayInLA

There is something FANTASTIC about listening to Kate Pierson sing the theme to Pee Wee’s Playhouse. #SaidTheSecretWord #LaLaLa #NetflixIsAJoke

A toast to the lads of @wrexham_afc for one hell of a season. I raise my jar and can’t wait to see you on the pitch next season. #UpTheTown

Have you boarded a train lately? H/T 🎩 @NPRJoel Passenger railroads see a sharp jump in ridership as gas prices climb one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5801525:…

As a radio person, it warms my heart to hear @RMcElhenney talking about seeking out @m_griffiths92 play by play for @Wrexham_AFC games. This is why I seek out @TalkSoccer for @LAFC. Radio is the only way to enjoy it. Even when I’m in the stands @BMOStadium

Wishing a Happy Public Radio Broadcasting Day to all who turn it on, celebrate it and work it. #NPRLife

“Here's to the New Year. May she be a damn sight better than the old one,” Col. Sherman T. Potter M*A*S*H 4077

So @Dommy_in_LA is irked by the @nflnetwork coverage of her beloved @RamsNFL since the Play by Play is even handled. She just needs to listen to the Rams Radio Radio Network on @espnlosangeles where her peeps hang. #Radio

Since Cherry Garcia is one of the most popular flavors of Ben & Jerry’s, I wonder how many who imbibe it, know who Cherry Garcia is?

Every once in a while I’m reminded that the folks at Disney have keen insight into human behavior and have had it for a long time. youtu.be/mwPSIb3kt_4

Here @hollywoodbowl to see @gustavodudamel conduct the Bad News Bears Opera, for one of his last concerts in LA #MyDayInLA

For most of my first 22 years in LA, I’d rarely see the Olympic Cauldron at the Coliseum lit & never at night. However, 3 times in the last 3 months I’ve seen it lit for any old reason like an EDC type concert at Expo Park. For whatever reason, it does make me happy. #MyDayInLA

Amused by the @Transitapp survey which asked questions about the @MetroLosAngeles #LittleTokyoArtsDistrict subway station as if it was an above ground bus stop. #IsThereShelterFromTheElementsNearby

This is why #CulverCity insists @npr.org Identifies its true location when we say it on air from NPR West Long Beach — not Venice — stars in Olympics closing ceremony - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)
