Kim is the literal best. Some newsroom better grab her quick!

Here's my story of the Challenger from a perspective you've likely heard before, on the disaster's 40th anniversary. For @slate.com's One Year podcast, I spoke with 3 of the finalists who came just short of winning the competition to become the shuttle's Teacher in Space.

We're back at the bargaining table today. We’ve made some progress so far, but have plenty of work left to do. Just six weeks left until our contract expires. All we want this holiday season is a fair contract!

We’re headed to the bargaining table today for our second meeting with management to discuss details of a new contract. The members of Slate Union are excited to bargain for improvements that will enhance working conditions and lives. We hope Slate management bargains in good faith with us. ✊

Congrats to 4 (!!) @slate.com podcasts -- Decoder Ring, Death, Sex & Money, Slow Burn and Political Gabfest -- for making Left of Dial’s list of the 100 Greatest Podcasts of All Time (voted on by 300 audio creators, podcast hosts, writers, etc.) www.leftofdialmedia.com/essential-li...

is this anything?

For Decoder Ring, I look into "Pink Lady & Jeff," the infamous 1980 NBC variety show flop, dubbed one of the "worst shows in TV history." But it turns out that old narrative is too simplistic, too US-centric, and omits the voices of the Japanese stars of the show—the sensational pop duo Pink Lady.

Can't wait to recreate my glory years on the old site by neglecting my mentions and never posting anything ever!
