A new series from @hooliwho.bsky.social? Heaven.
The AI revolution is here. Can we build a Good Robot? 🤖 In a new podcast series from Unexplainable and Future Perfect, host Julia Longoria goes deep into the strange, high-stakes world of artificial intelligence to answer that question. Launching March 12, 2025.
Your job today is to find five people, get them into a room, force them to listen to this while you stare intently from the corner. Set a stopwatch and in 90 second intervals say just loud enough to be audible “it’s good, right?” Try not to blink.

Back in 2018, when we were making No Feeling Is Final, we didn't dare dream that people would still be listening to/talking about the show SEVEN YEARS later. But I'm so glad they are. I'm so proud of this show, and what it means to people. And this article from @bencannon.bsky.social really gets it.
Another month, another entry into the Podcast Canon over on @avclub.com! Since it’s Sundance season, I’m examining two artistically daring and important podcasts, and talking about Third Coast and Short Cuts as well. www.avclub.com/podcast-cano...

Nothing seems guaranteed these days for creative audio makers. "Short Cuts" was recently cancelled and "Pretendians" is seeking funding for a second season, two shows on this episode of Sound School that are high on Rob's must-listen list because they elevate the craft: transom.org/2024/fingers...

We're truly overwhelmed and moved by what's been written about @josielong.bsky.social's Short Cuts both in @thetimes.com by @patricianicol.bsky.social and in the Observer by @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social this morning...
We were in bits when we saw this open letter on Friday, put together by a group of audio-makers. It’s Sunday morning as we write this and it already has well over 800 signatures. 😭 docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Grateful to see such immediate, widespread support for this singular radio/pod show from @fallingtreeprod.bsky.social that's just been cut by @bbcradio4.bsky.social. But deeply frustrating and disappointing the decision was made at all. Read more and sign their open letter: tinyurl.com/SaveShortCuts
There's a letter urging the BBC to reconsider their cancellation of Short Cuts. "It is an irreplaceable show, with a dedicated audience, an unmatched cultural impact and a team that nurtures talent and stories with a rare sensibility and care." Sign the open letter: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
All good things must come to an end – but this seems wrong. A brilliant repository of strange, funny, beautiful, arcane stories, Short Cuts has always been truly inventive, a place for audio experimentation and new voices (a rarity on R4) and an absolute balm for listeners. I hope it finds a home.
After 12 years on the radio, @josielong.bsky.social's Short Cuts will have its last series on BBC Radio 4 this winter. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
This is absolutely heartbreaking news. I — like so, so many producers — would not have my start in audio without Short Cuts. It's a rare gem and the perfect home for documentaries, essays, experimentation and audio art. Shows like Short Cuts should be celebrated and protected.
