SURVEILLANCE SECRETS: @lighthousereports.com uncovered a vast surveillance empire whose untraceable tech has been used to target people in more than 100 countries, including the US. It has operated under the radar for decades. Until now.

Was incredible to be part of this.

What I’ve been working on… Incredible reporting from @gabrielgeiger.bsky.social and @cr0ft0n.bsky.social at @lighthousereports.com Then, Michael Montgomery @revealnews.org made it into a radio story that I was lucky enough to edit. What a partnership. 14 newsrooms. 😮

We made more than 100 cold calls. Each one began the same way: “You’ve been targeted by government-grade surveillance tech.” In our @lighthousereports.com collab with @revealnews.org, you can hear the voices on the other end. revealnews.org/podcast/cell...

2/ Watch reporter @gabrielgeiger.bsky.social as he retraces the tracking of 23&Me Founder Anne Wojcicki (then maried to Google's Serge Brin) through SF's Union Square, just like in The Conversation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfWy...

Could not be happier that @luolkowski.bsky.social's Love Me is back (the ordinariness of that statement belies my genuine excitement): www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...

EXCLUSIVE: Our friends at @lighthousereports.com obtained a secret data trove. It revealed a vast global surveillance empire whose tech has been used to target politicians, journalists, tech execs, and Jared Leto. The story only gets wilder from there.

I'm working on a new podcast project and I'm launching a Kickstarter next week to fund it. I hope you'll consider supporting it. And by "consider" I mean open up your wallet and give me all the cash that you were going to use to buy one carton of eggs. Thanks! www.kickstarter.com/projects/obe...

Help an indie producer out… give a few bucks… or at least share the post. I did.

Hey friends! I'm trying something new — I'm doing a Kickstarter to fund my new narrative podcast. I'd love your support. It's a rough time for all of us, but donating to my new show could be cheaper than a carton of eggs or a gallon of gas. Any support would be so appreciated! Thank you!

And he’s off! 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕 🐕@quincemountain.bsky.social @blairbraverman.bsky.social

Q's Iditarider Heather just texted this photo of Pepé getting ready to lead her second Iditarod ceremonial start -- this time at almost 12 years old. 😭

In honor of Q's Iditarod start today, I think it's time to share this story again.

News flash #uglyDogs Pepe is going to start and go as far as she wants! At least one checkpoint according to Q!! ❤️❤️❤️👑👑

Taqwa is one of the most thoughtful listeners I know. Come and here what she's selected!

Back in 2018, when we were making No Feeling Is Final, we didn't dare dream that people would still be listening to/talking about the show SEVEN YEARS later. But I'm so glad they are. I'm so proud of this show, and what it means to people. And this article from @bencannon.bsky.social really gets it.

“[Short Cuts] has long been an important showcase and proving ground for many of the best producers of narrative documentary storytelling. It is without easy parallel in other media, a place where new voices and established creators are on even footing…” Touched to see this!

Here we go, 2025! We're halfway through our winter fundraiser and thinking back with extreme fondness on our first four commissioned cohorts. Look at these rock stars! 🤩 Help us support more producers, more creativity, more audio joy in 2025: audioflux.org/supportaf xoxo
