I'll have more updates to share from my time as a speaker at @sxsw.com. But for now, let's marvel at Conan wielding a hammer. #SXSW

As a fan of all things media + music + innovative marketing, I've had my eyes on @sxsw.com for a while. Which is why my excitement's at an all-time high as I'm a featured speaker this year! If you're heading to Austin, let's connect + chat about podcasting. 🎙 schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/...

PBS and affiliate stations are in trouble if federal funding to public media is eliminated. TV is expensive to produce and at least half of the federal grants go to local stations that use the money to buy PBS programs. I don’t think eliminating the DEI office is going to protect them, though.

Now is a great time to support your NPR and PBS station. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/b...

The White House stenographers have a problem. Donald Trump is talking so much, the people responsible for transcribing his public remarks are struggling to keep up with all the words.

Whenever the DAW I'm using acts up it feels like a personal attack on my mental health.

Bets on which podcasters will be front row.

For those keeping an eye on public media funding: this OMB memo doesn't impact CPB funding, but it does impact FEMA grant funds and some early learning grants for public television / PBS stations. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

The news cycle was pretty heavy this year, which made me all the more grateful to have @headgum.com's Handsome podcast (hosted by comedians Tig Notaro, Mae Martin, and Charlotte-area's own Fortune Feimster) as an audio pal. tinkmedia.co/audio-delica...

@karaswisher.bsky.social, git r dun! www.thedailybeast.com/kara-swisher...

Audio folks! I just shared this "self sync one-sheet" with someone and they found it helpful. I realized that I should probably share it with y'all as well. Feel free to copy and adapt for your own uses. bit.ly/coley_mobilerecording

Always a pleasure contributing to @niemanlab.org! What a group.

Each year, we ask some of the smartest people in journalism and media what they think is coming in the next 12 months. Now you can follow this year's Nieman Lab Predictors to keep up with their insights in 2025: bsky.app/starter-pack...

HBO has declined to renew “Sesame Street” for new episodes. The series that’s been teaching generations of little kids since 1969 now has no studio. Please consider donating to Sesame Workshop to ensure the residents of 123 Sesame Street are still around to teach kids of all needs and backgrounds.

Public radio journalists of Bluesky, please take note and help spread the word: We're working on an episode about what the current threats to funding for public media would mean for your community. We want to hear about the journalism that only public radio can do: forms.gle/KWf2XYgQX1cV...
