In honor of SINNERS doing so well at the Actor Awards, here's a Buddy Guy concert on NPR's Tiny Desk where he's joined by his co-star (and now-Actor Award winner) Miles Caton for the last two songs.

State of the Union with Journalist Jacob Soboroff Podcast Episode · Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso · February 22 · 1h 17m

Another @talkeasypod.bsky.social episode I highly recommend. @samfragoso.bsky.social and @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social on the importance of on-the-ground media coverage now and close with the hope that the Bad Bunny halftime show is a some type of inflection point.

In contrast, you have something like this @talkeasypod.bsky.social episode with Sam Fragoso talking with George Saunders. Sam is one of the best interviewers out there. He's smart, funny, prepared, engaging, interested, and gracious. He wants to be there and spend time with his guest.

As much as I’ve always loved him, Sam is just absolutely killing it with @talkeasypod.bsky.social the past several months. Pretty convinced this is the best podcast out there right now. (Also, of course, Robby Hoffman is hilarious & amazing in this episode)

Photojournalist Lynsey Addario on balancing work and family — when work is a war zone The Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist has been kidnapped and thrown from a car. Still, Addario says, parenting two young kids can be more challenging than war reporting.

"Images can move people, can educate people, can enlighten people, can flip misconceptions, can bridge people. I still believe in photojournalism," @lynseyaddario.bsky.social tells contributor @samfragoso.bsky.social.
