I’m coming to Chicago to speak on Monday night. I expect to be dragged through the garden.

One of the longest weeks of 2024, endless.

We are so grateful for the love and support we've received from the Nerdette community over the past week. You are the reason why we do this work! Thank you ♥

Shout out to Patrick Smith for starting a GoFundMe to help the full-time WBEZ and Vocalo folks cut by CPM. Please contribute if you can, and spread the word. Now, more than ever, it takes a village: gofund.me/b99d2397

We were so sad to see that Nerdette Podcast is being canceled. This week’s episode was a classic, all about women crushing people with their thighs in movies.

Alison Wilmore and joins Greta Johnsen to look into why 'killer gams' are so in right now.

Anna is driven, whip-smart, and a great hang. Journalism needs more people like her, not fewer.

Anna is the best producer anyone could ask for. She’s quick, she’s got a keen ear, she’s organized, and she’s also just an absolute delight. I’ve been so lucky to work with her and you would be too.

Logging back on here to say that I was one of the people laid off yesterday. I am so proud of the work we did at Nerdette Podcast and we hope to find it a new home. In the meantime, I'm a soup to nuts producer looking for new opportunities

I and my Nerdette Podcast colleagues are among the people laid off yesterday. there’s a lot to figure out, but we will still be making the show for a bit yet. thank you to the hundreds of people who have reached out with their support. your kind words are such a comfort.

My paperback is coming out on 2/20, and I'll be launching in Chicago with Greta Johnsen at Women & Children First (actually next door at the lovely Swedish American Museum, for extra space). I'd really really love to see you, and I'll have fun door prizes!
