This is a beautiful tribute to one to the greatest radio producers of all time, and my mentor. As I listened to pieces of Larry’s stories, I felt a big sadness that public radio doesn’t play things like this anymore—stories full of people out there in America just getting through the day.

I *love* this podcast. Extremely funny stuff—Bashir Salahuddin is absolutely on fire—and the show plays with our expectations of what is possible to achieve in audio fiction production.

My latest entry into the Podcast Canon on @avclub.com has it all. An all-star cast! Written by an Oscar-nominated screenwriter! Amazing sound design and music! A spiritual link with the history of Black radio! Chicago!! Give it a read and a listen. Also…big news if you make it to the end!
The A.V. Club@avclub.com · 5mo agoThis sumptuously produced and richly acted audio drama stands out in so many ways that it’s a pity there aren’t many more seasons of it to be had.
Anyway I need some work so I can pay off this ER visit and the upcoming follow-up appts 😕 I can do writerly and podcast things. I can interview your faves and talk about Black women stuff, thirst, desire, romance novels, and a whole bunch of other things
“To think you can go to Stonewall and just take down the Pride flag — that is telling of the time we are living in,” Ms. Lentz said. “It is unbelievable. The flag is not just an abstract symbol; it tells L.G.B.T.Q. people, especially younger ones, that their history will not be sidelined again.”

I'm sorry, the Washington Post hopes *I* will reconsider the value of their journalists?

I've been friends with Kim for 13 years and I am absolutely flabbergasted, she is a versatile, TREMENDOUS reporter (and human being). A huge asset to any newsroom fortunate enough to have her

O’Hara was incredible forever, on SCTV, the Christopher Guest movies, Beetlejuice, Home Alone, etc. But she didn’t become as famous as her talent warranted until her 60s. Suddenly it was like everyone caught up to her, and she could’ve worked forever. To have her taken away at this moment? No.

This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country. The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.
The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.
They murder a man in cold blood and wait around to watch him die. There is no hell hot enough. Abolish DHS. Impeach, convict, remove. Trials as soon as possible.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.
