Important conversation in Missoula this evening between @mtpublicradio’s @AustinAmestoy and @npr_radio’s @ailsachang about the relevance of public broadcasting in these unprecedented times. The future may be uncertain but the dedication of these talented journalists is not.

Who needs Times Square when I’ve landed at BART
Hey @ailsachang !
Did YOU take @SFBART when you worked at @KQED ?
Well, I take BART home from work almost every day…and here we are on a billboard at Civic Center Station.
All GOOD things (considered)

NEW: Those who volunteer their spaces so people can come & vote are rethinking how they do that in Arizona. Some are scaling back & securitizing. Others are opening their doors in the name of civic engagement. w/ @ailsachang @noahgcr @WilliamTroop

So great working with @Ximena_Bustillo on this one! Also @noahgcr & @WilliamTroop. Thank you Radio Campesina for welcoming us to your studios in Phoenix.
NEW: Radio Campesina is among the groups hoping to fight misinformation about elections and voting in Arizona. But there are other groups too, even those hoping to reach Republicans in their own party. W/ @ailsachang

This was such fascinating reporting and a great conversation — thank you, @moatman @MotherJones
It was such a treat to be interviewed yesterday by the amazing @ailsachang on @NPR 's All Things Considered about my piece on the exciting medical potential of menstrual blood–she did such a good job putting me at ease npr.org/2024/08/26/nx-s1-508…
You're a fun hang, @LouisColeMusic. Thank you for giving such excellent music AND convo. We loved spending time with you in LA - Congrats on the new album and on writing your first concert of choral music. Segment produced/edited by @noahgcr/@cintagliata npr.org/2024/08/13/nx-s1-496…
Do yourself a favor and go read @barbarabradleyh's new book, which paints a damning portrait of the justice system. Convicting an innocent Black man in America is easy; undoing that mistake is nearly impossible. Produced/edited by @jojom8ah/@JustineKenin npr.org/2024/08/06/nx-s1-493…

On @npr's “All Things Considered” show, host @ailsachang shared that, “…stepping into this park is like stepping into a time machine, where the land has been restored to a semblance of what it used to look like centuries ago…”

Thank you @lizzlmiller for a very moving conversation that I am still thinking about, a day after.
Take a few minutes today to listen to this profound and emotional conversation between @ailsachang and @lizzlmiller, whose father died on 9/11. You won't regret it npr.org/2024/08/01/nx-s1-506…
You all need to watch the film #Didi - you don’t need to be Asian to relate. But man, it captures growing up Asian in the Bay Area so perfectly. Thank you @swangsean for visiting with me! Produced/edited by @mallory_yu/@Jea_Woods npr.org/2024/07/26/nx-s1-489…

Had such a blast being the keynote speaker for @Report4America's national gathering -- it's a program that helps send reporters to under-covered, under-resourced communities.
.@Report4America brought journalists from every corner of the country to Minneapolis last week for the service program’s 2024 National Gathering.
It was an opportunity to connect and learn in a way that can only be done in person.

How MIND-BLOWING to talk to @jonmchu, who grew up in Los Altos, CA the same time I did. I often ate at his family's Chinese restaurant! Long before some little movie called CRAZY RICH ASIANS ever came out. Produced/edited by @jojom8ah/@courtneydorning npr.org/2024/07/23/nx-s1-487…
