“[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!
Another month, another entry into the Podcast Canon over on @avclub.com!

Since it’s Sundance season, I’m examining two artistically daring and important podcasts, and talking about Third Coast and Short Cuts as well.

Most major news media outlets & creative guilds have formed CRAIC, but seem to have achieved little more than entertaining themselves with an acronym.

These members are the orgs to hassle about the govt's AI capitulation: is ur guild/union here? Message them.

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...

a profound loss for mainstream audio offerings i'm remembering that after the winter comes spring. i'm honouring the cycles of change and at the same time, acknowledging that there are terrible gardeners in our field.

People are reporting back that after listening to Empire City they are experiencing a stronger core, more flexibility and deeper lung saturation. Cleaner teeth etc. It’s really something. Also learning about cops. crooked.com/podcast-seri...
