When I first wrote about Brazilian artist Dalton Paula for @theworld.org in 2023, his small portraits were selling for $25,000. He has a new show in NY at Lisson Gallery and his larger paintings, all done this year, are priced between $200,000 and $550,000. theworld.org/stories/2023...

I first heard about Lead, the podcast, at Tribeca Audio Festival. Truly enjoyed listening to this story about something that affects 30% of children worldwide. Written by Shannon Burkett, the mom whose son was contaminated with lead when he was a baby. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

Congratulations to the 5,246 @baruch.cuny.edu students who graduate today, among more than 50,000 who got their @cuny.edu diplomas. I have no doubt that you will make the world a better place!

Most of my long-form fiction and journalistic podcast work was done with audio-wizard Sandra Lopez-Monsalve. One of our greatest champions has been @prx.org's Jocelyn Gonzalez. It was a pleasure talking to hers and Ellen Horne's students @newyorkuniversity.bsky.social + @baruch.cuny.edu students
