Hey, you got a sec? If so – and you *don't* listen to @neverpo.st – can you fill out this survey? Radiotopia wants to know what your FUCKIN PROBLEM IS (just kidding, we're doing audience development research, ok thanks love you byyyyeeee)

Really great how every single media company is going to be owned by 3 white guys all loyal to MAGA. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Kyle Cassidy@kylecassidy.bsky.social · 6mo ago

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

We are now here

cool, cool. so we are sort of like citizens, but not really?

Even more bad news for Atlanta local journalism: @atlpresscollective.com, which has extensively covered "Cop City", ICE, and Flock cameras, and a finalist for the @inn.org Insight Award for Visual Journalism, announced today that they have run out of cash to stay open beyond the end of March.

More bad news for Atlanta local journalism: Mariann Martin, Co-founder, Operations and Editorial Director of @canopyatl.bsky.social, announced her departure from the newsroom yesterday. The award-winning nonprofit and Press Forward grantee has not published a single story since Dec. 2025.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

I reviewed dozens of Radiotopia pitches today. In spite of what's going on in podcasting, people are still dreaming and making cool shit and it makes me really happy.

1. Constitution Making 2. Management 100 3. Physics for Poets 4. Cultural Anthropology 5. War in Literature

so excited for this!

Hey Boston, this Friday I’m doing a live show about the fashion of BETTY & VERONICA Come by! www.wbur.org/events/10580...

In my spare time I run an opera company, and I have made it my #1 priority to pay artists asap. As soon as an invoice hits my inbox, I drop whatever I'm doing and pay it. This is me drunk on power, LOL.

but how are you supposed to know if the car parked in the spot you dug out is the car that moved your space saver in the first place?

A media studies prof makes the argument in his new book that feelings are not enough to support a media ecosystem. Believe me when I say that @jasonloviglio.bsky.social's argument is persuasive. Running an excerpt this week: continuous-wave.beehiiv.com/p/wonder-tak...

I knocked on doors for Jared Golden, this is super disappointing

Ezra Levin ❌👑@ezralevin.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Jared Golden sees what ICE is doing to Minneapolis and welcomes the same to his district. I expect that from Republicans. But it's Dems like this that wreck the Party brand and make it harder for us to win. Thankfully he understands his limitations and is throwing himself out of politics.

ooh...i already know this is going to be good...

On this, another day in the horror show, listening to this conversation between Samin Nosrat and @samsanders.bsky.social was a true Delight. Samin: "I've learned that if I let other people take care of me, they will." It's true, it's true. www.kcrw.com/shows/the-sa... @kcrw.com

Alex is not just a cool dude, but a good dude committed to doing things the right way. And a freakishly great podcaster, one of the GOATS. He and his show deserve your support! (Also, #MedicareForAll)

Alex Goldman@agoldman.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Hi, every so often I post about the financial health of my independent podcast, @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social, and I wanted to post an update for the new year. The short version: We're looking to add 1500 premium subscribers this year so I can pay for health insurance for everyone I work with.

Does anyone know what's up w @pixelfedapp.bsky.social? Hasn't loaded for me in days.

If it were up to me: - yes to neighborhood schools - all school fundraising (yes including Latin) goes into one big pot and gets distributed to all schools

Doesn't happen very often, but there are a bunch of Radiotopia shows doing live shows/appearances in the next few months. I did a round-up in today's Citizen, our monthly newsletter. radiotopia.cmail20.com/t/i-e-zstljd... Subscribe here if you don't already www.radiotopia.fm/citizen

I meet w Never Post once a month about the state of their pod, and I'm STILL excited to listen, bc they are just that good at making good audio. Check them out!

Netflix said I'd love The New Yorker at 100 doc and they were right. Argh why am I so bougie
