Also no they shouldn't be on the patio they keep Jackie Chan-ing their way over the fence. Zero input from the worlds worst guard dog.

Real "warriors come out to play" vibe from my children today.

Now that I'm deep into my moustache era, sometimes I like to work out at home in my underwear because it makes me feel like an old timey Victorian strongman.

Congrats! Will this be recorded? Would love to watch but a bit late for the UK crowd 😴

an image of the cover of Media Building, a new book edited by Will Mari, Carole O'Reilly and E. James West

snark aside there are some wonderful contributions from an eclectic mix of writers. It leans North America and Western Europe, but there's some great discussion of newsrooms/media spaces/infrastructure in Nepal, Martinique, Indonesia, and elsewhere. Fun all the way down!

Media Building This book interrogates the enduring and evolving relationship between journalism, mass communications, and the built environment.

Our (Will Mari, Carole O'Reilly and I's) new collection "Media Building" is now out in the world! It's with Palgrave, so hilariously overpriced, but please consider asking your library to buy it so that we can pool our royalties for a meal at Nando's xx

Sounds cool! For clarity, are you primarily interested in the history of NPR/PBS generally, or would you be interested in reflective pieces on specific content, e.g. the anniversary of a significant PBS documentary?
