I want you all to just watch how quickly mainstream media moves on from this story now.

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

In December, I wrote a piece about people's declining ability to process information, to distinguish fact from opinion, etc, and how this might soften us up to become overly-dependent on AI. You could read it, but this guy just summarised it in two tweets!

fellow #truecrime podcast junkies: what are you listening to now? I'm liking CBC's Sea of Lies and am looking for other listens while waiting for the next eps to drop

Oh hey! Did you check out my podcast Sea of Lies yet?

Show art for podcast series Sea of Lies from CBC’s Uncover. The body of a man plunges below the surface of the blue-ish green water, and near the surface is the anchor of a boat.

🚨🗣️WE ARE LIVE🗣️🚨

The first two episodes of Sea of Lies are AVAILABLE NOW on all podcast-listening platforms. There will be a free new episode each week (the series is 7 eps total), OR for 5 bucks you can subscribe to CBC True Crime and binge the whole thing right now.

In the new year, one empowering piece of storytelling advice I would offer is, don't rely solely on a single corporate entity or institutional structure to shape your storytelling career, as it's unlikely to happen.

Happy to have added my name to this list, I do hope it breaks through. Reading the list of signatures is also a nice reminder of the many amazing people making ambitious audio these days. This community needs Short Cuts more than ever.

The Good Whale This is the story of a wildly ambitious science experiment to return Keiko to the ocean — while the world watched. A new limited podcast series from Serial Productions and the New York Times.

A recommendation: Pause your election analysis interview podcast (or am I projecting 🤔) and submerge your attention in this new series from @danielgalarcon.bsky.social and Katie Mingle. Compelling protagonist, high stakes tension, strong archival, beautiful writing. A++ storytelling 🙌
