@presentdarkness.bsky.social This is 💯 spot on. Congress, you created this monster! The American people will never forget your derelict actions when it mattered the most! If you don't heed the voices of the people, the people will remove you from your cushy seats! #Bluecrew #Resistance

Was talking to a friend and was suddenly reminded of this absurd exchange that happened on Twitter and Maud Dromgoole's classic response:
In defence of ‘radical listening’ - an especially timely read in the wake of the cancellation of Short Cuts current.org/2024/11/why-...
Why ‘radical listening’ is key to public radio’s future
"Building radical listening and field recording into our program offerings announces to the audience that we understand our public service role as custodians of culture and media representation."

Etymology of the day: to be ‘blowing a hoolie’ (or ‘hooley’) was probably inspired by the Orkney word ‘hoolan’, a howling gale, with a touch of the ‘hooley’ that is a very noisy party thrown in.
Here's the title theme from #lonelynomore from Audiama (with thanks to Steph MacGaraidh for fab vocals!). All 8 eps available now (see below for links) soundcloud.com/jon-nicholls...
