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...

Very excited for The Global Story’s relaunch tomorrow. Two exceptional hosts, an incredible production team and a distinctive approach to news: bbc.com/audio/play/p...

@scottygb.bsky.social Scotland, please can I get your thoughts on Adults? Highly recommend!

Stunning! Unfit For Service has been nominated for a Webby! @ericbmarcus.bsky.social @rachel-byrne.bsky.social www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

All of these bonus episodes are such a treat, and I didn’t realise how much I’d missed hearing Alex Blumberg on mic. Highly recommend becoming a @thisamericanlife.org Partner thisamericanlife.supercast.com/subscriber_v2/

A new series from @hooliwho.bsky.social? Heaven.

Your job today is to find five people, get them into a room, force them to listen to this while you stare intently from the corner. Set a stopwatch and in 90 second intervals say just loud enough to be audible “it’s good, right?” Try not to blink.

We've got some big news: Heavyweight officially has a new home Pushkin Industries. Tell your friends, your exes… tell the strangers on the subway! And be sure to subscribe to the feed to hear about new episodes. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/b...

!!!!! @regardingjosh.bsky.social's CBC show, Split Screen: Kid Nation has been nominated as Best Entertainment Podcast at this year's Ambies. Thank you @podcastacademy.bsky.social! www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

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.

New Search Engine! What’s going on with the new version of Mark Zuckerberg? With help from @caseynewton.bsky.social and @mikeisaac.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/3Pvs...

"There’s a need for more nuance in how to talk about developing a video strategy — or if it even makes sense at all..." New from @nwquah.bsky.social. www.vulture.com/article/will...

"I listened to this episode on repeat like it was a song, it sort of was... I could have quoted this entire episode" — @laurenpassell.bsky.social 🥲 Genuinely the most heartwarming way to end the year! podcastthenewsletter.substack.com/p/fantastic-...

"The series is extremely well constructed, full of humour and life and charm, but is also very profound" — the absolute dreamboats at @australia.theguardian.com picked @meerakumar.bsky.social's Thrill Seekers as one of their fave podcasts for long journeys. www.theguardian.com/culture/2024...

Nothing seems guaranteed these days for creative audio makers. "Short Cuts" was recently cancelled and "Pretendians" is seeking funding for a second season, two shows on this episode of Sound School that are high on Rob's must-listen list because they elevate the craft: transom.org/2024/fingers...

We're truly overwhelmed and moved by what's been written about @josielong.bsky.social's Short Cuts both in @thetimes.com by @patricianicol.bsky.social and in the Observer by @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social this morning...

We were in bits when we saw this open letter on Friday, put together by a group of audio-makers. It’s Sunday morning as we write this and it already has well over 800 signatures. 😭 docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Whilst we work on new episodes, stay up to date with the latest on Sissy by following the show wherever you listen. pod.fo/e/24553e

Grateful to see such immediate, widespread support for this singular radio/pod show from @fallingtreeprod.bsky.social that's just been cut by @bbcradio4.bsky.social. But deeply frustrating and disappointing the decision was made at all. Read more and sign their open letter: tinyurl.com/SaveShortCuts

There's a letter urging the BBC to reconsider their cancellation of Short Cuts. "It is an irreplaceable show, with a dedicated audience, an unmatched cultural impact and a team that nurtures talent and stories with a rare sensibility and care." Sign the open letter: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

All good things must come to an end – but this seems wrong. A brilliant repository of strange, funny, beautiful, arcane stories, Short Cuts has always been truly inventive, a place for audio experimentation and new voices (a rarity on R4) and an absolute balm for listeners. I hope it finds a home.

This is absolutely heartbreaking news. I — like so, so many producers — would not have my start in audio without Short Cuts. It's a rare gem and the perfect home for documentaries, essays, experimentation and audio art. Shows like Short Cuts should be celebrated and protected.
