After slowly backing away from this website for a while, I'm no longer actively here.
Changes to how the site works, plus the quality of the dialog among those who remain active here, mean it's no longer useful to me.

THE OTHER PROOF: Seattle Times, KUOW, and NPR spent 18 months reinvestigating the 2020 killing of 16-year-old Antonio Mays Jr. at CHOP.
Nearly 100 interviews. New evidence. The boys in that car were unarmed — contradicting the narrative that stood unchallenged for 6 years.

I just binged through this podcast in two days. Very well researched and presented. If you care about police and crime and #BLM and defund and what happened in 2020 CHOP, Seattle's police-free zone, this is well worth listening to! npr.org/2026/06/04/g-s1-1208…

The tragic shooting of a teenager at a 2020 protest remains unsolved, but this never-before-heard evidence frames the case in a new light.
Journalists @otherwilljames, @sydbrownstone, and @davidlgutman investigate that fateful night in We Keep Us Safe: apple.co/WKUS
If you'll give me one last moment on my soapbox: I remain very worried about what years of existing on sites like this has done to us, societally and individually.

So great to see NPR-distributed station podcasts on Podtrac's Top 25 New Podcasts of 2024 (by average downloads per episode) - WFAE’s Landslide at #21 and KUOW’s Lost Patients at #24 analytics.podtrac.com/top-ne…
It's been really rewarding to collaborate with @ReportingHealth these past few years.
Like I say in the video, the issues health journalists cover are some of the most complex and polarizing in our society, and it's important we have institutions for sharing acquired knowledge.
As a National Fellow, @otherwilljames took on a year-long reporting project on the rapid rise of homelessness amid economic upheaval in Olympia, WA. Produced with the Center’s support and mentorship, Will’s podcast “Outsiders” was named one of the best podcasts of 2020 by TIME.

I'm excited to share that this latest episode of @reveal is a collaboration with our podcast Lost Patients.
It's been an honor to collaborate with my buddy @Jib821, who produced this episode, to bring these stories to radio stations and podcast listeners across the country.
Behind every person you see in psychosis on the streets, there is a story of institutional failure—a story that goes back at least half a century.
We partner with the podcast Lost Patients to find out why American psychiatric care breaks down. revealnews.org/podcast/the-c…
More than four months (!) after our launch, Lost Patients is still one of the top documentary podcasts in the country.
If you haven't listened yet, hear the story of why so many people in psychosis are left to wander the streets of American cities.

I have found Lost Patients (a @KUOW podcast) to be harrowing, balanced, and deeply moving. Each episode unfolds the story of a severely mentally ill person in the Seattle area who fell through society’s cracks.
Each episode is a (unfortunately) refreshing departure from the

Next month, @sydbrownstone and I will take part in this panel discussion about how deinstitutionalization – the closure of state psychiatric hospitals – shaped the mental health care system we live with today.
Join us, and mental health experts, on 7/24. Link is on the flier.

To fund journalism, a lot of our industry's brightest minds spend a lot of time trying to measure the "impact" of our stories.
But sometimes a single comment makes everything feel worth it. All of the episodes of Lost Patients are now out. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
