I am so SO excited to talk next week to a mind and heart I have long admired - @vietthanhnguyen.bsky.social!✨✨✨ See you soon, Boston & @wbur.org!

Reporting from our excellent education reporter @jonakimehta.bsky.social

Today’s installment of our series on first-time Grammy nominees: Thank you Radhika Vekaria for giving us light on a dark day reporting on the LA fires. Produced/edited by Kira Wakeam/Christopher Intagliata www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

We continue our series on first time Grammy nominees with the gorgeous vocal stylings of jazz artist Christie Dashiell. We talk about having her dad as a boss at Howard University and creating an album with such wide emotional range. www.npr.org/2025/01/29/n...

Our annual series on first time Grammy nominees kicks off this week! We begin with country singer Charley Crockett. I might sound a TOUCH FLIRTY, but such things can’t be helped when cowboy boots and stubble are involved. www.npr.org/2025/01/28/n...

As the focus shifts from the LA fires to the returning President, ATC’s LA team is trying to keep the spotlight on the long, hard road still ahead for this county. For people whose homes survived the devastating fires, a new ordeal is just beginning. www.npr.org/2025/01/22/n...

The Palisades Fire ravaged a century-old treasure and one of the most beautiful open spaces in all of LA County. Here is our love letter to the Will Rogers State Historic Park and to the special relationship between Angelenos and the outdoors. ♥️ www.npr.org/2025/01/17/n...

Merry Christmas everyone! Go out and watch the new Bob Dylan biopic — it’s fantastic. Not only did Timothée Chalamet have to learn to sing, play and talk like Dylan - he also had to fatten up 🤣 What a treat to talk to Chalamet and James Mangold about A Complete Unknown. www.npr.org/2024/12/25/n...

Wishing you all a sexy Christmas Eve. Thank you to director Halina Reijn for a truly illuminating conversation about the feminist spin she put on her delicious erotic thriller Babygirl. Been thinking about this convo for days. www.npr.org/2024/12/24/n...

One of my favorite convos in awhile. Dan Nigro, the music producer behind Chappell Roan and Olivia Rodrigo, visited me at NPR West to talk about what it’s like to both protect and guide two of the biggest pop superstars today. www.npr.org/2024/12/23/n...

This story by @emilyzfeng.bsky.social about the oppression and exhilaration of trash pickup in Taiwan utterly delighted me!
