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!

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.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

Letter to the BBC Regarding the Cancellation of Short Cuts Dear Mohit, Hugh and Eleanor, We are devastated by the news of the BBC’s cancellation of Short Cuts. In a time where audio imaginations are being squashed by commercial realities, Short Cuts has bee...

Urge the BBC to reconsider their cancellation of @bbcradio4's Short Cuts. It is irreplaceable, with a dedicated audience, an unmatched cultural impact with a team that nurtures talent and stories with a rare sensibility and care.

The Good Whale This is the story of a wildly ambitious science experiment to return Keiko to the ocean β€” 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 πŸ€”) 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 πŸ™Œ
