I owe the vast majority of my freelance career to the wonderful, brilliant Mia Lobel, who is the best mentor one could dream of. Let her mentor you, too, by subscribing to her revived and immensely helpful newsletter—a balm in these very stressful audio times!!

The last few months have been an absolute sh*tshow for too many podcast friends and former colleagues of mine at NPR, Gimlet, LA Times and elsewhere. The ONLY bright spot is that Mia Lobel relaunched her Freelance Cafe newsletter just in time. Subscribe! freelancecafe.substack.com/p/a-case-for-b…

I wrote a thing about the (dare I say) benefits of getting fired. Based on a lot of experience. 🙃 open.substack.com/pub/freelancec…

I have worked with John Asante directly and can confirm he is VERY good at this. I highly recommend this class! 🌟 🎓

Happy to answer any Qs about what I intend to cover in this short course. Also, ask your manager if they’ll cover the fee as part of your professional development. Most people don’t get any management training unless they specifically ask for it (and then they still don’t…)

I binged this over the weekend. Incredible reporting, brilliantly produced and edited, important work. 🌟🌟

It's a hopeless feeling to watch your friends and colleagues lose their jobs. Here's one small thing I can do. Announcing the grand re-opening of Freelance Cafe!

💔To my dear former colleagues (many of whom I personally recruited and hired), you know how to reach me. I'm here to support you however I can.

There’s been lots of great coverage of last night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, but IMO not enough people are talking about how the brilliant and amazing Tamara Keith used her platform to highlight nursing working women. 🤩👑 #WHCD #WHCA

Three days left!

We're hosting a drop in zoom for those affected by layoffs and an uncertain job market from 3-5pm ET today. Let's be in community and support each other. RSVP so we can plan for you. All are welcome. airmedia.org/jobs/training/…

💔for the brilliant talent affected by this. These shows are some of the best in the biz, and this decision reflects an unsettling trend in the industry. I’m brainstorming what a BIG change could look like. DM me if you want to discuss (or just vent). npr.org/2023/03/23/116…

2 shows I helped develop won Ambie Awards last night: Come As You Are with emily nagoski and Mo LaBorde and A Slight Change of Plans with Maya Shankar @ A Slight Change of Plans and Tyler Greene. These teams work incredibly hard to make these shows happen and they are deserving of all the accolades!

Two in a row for Pushkin Industries 🎙️. Congratulations to Dr. Maya Shankar and Maya Shankar @ A Slight Change of Plans on the well-deserved Ambie award for Best Personal Growth / Spirituality Podcast.

The very rad sex ed show I made alongside Mo LaBorde, emily nagoski, Britt ⛵️, Courtney Guarino, Madison Wells, Leital Molad and Mia Lobel won an award!
