Very, very now.

So pleased to be joining @airmedia.bsky.social's Board! Especially now, when community, solidarity, and appreciating each other feels so important.Very ready to get to work.

Accurate.

Podcasts don't have to be long-form documentary style stories that hold you over on long commutes. In fact, they can be so much more.

Audio Flux is showing exactly how.

I’d say it’s going pretty well over here. (Besides the paper towel shredding incident yesterday.)

New! Friend! Alert! Meet TimTam. Yes, like the best Australian cookie.

A small good thing today: receiving two separate pieces of Real Mail sporting stamps designed by Chris Ware. 📫

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Statement on ICE Shooting of Renee Nicole Good Tonight, our hearts are with Renee Good’s family and loved ones as they grieve this terrible loss. Once again, we can see with our own eyes the cruel and vicious agenda of the Trump administration. To protect our residents, we must end the mass deployment of ICE agents into American cities and restore rule of law and basic accountability from the federal government.

I just think it’s so much cooler and more interesting to try to be the best audio show rather than the shittiest television show

December 28 / Faux 3.5yo baby girl voice howling about Jesus = the sonic equivalent of jamming forks into eyeballs. Pairs decently with Yellow Swan's "Drift" however, if you please.

December 25 / Christmas Day home recordings from back then (1947) basically sound a lot like Christmas Day voice memos from now (202X). Chaotic, out of tune, each family's own signature dynamic.
