Velchik & DOJ responses here:

finally, I'll take these words from @lrmayer.bsky.social

people love the unique and intimate qualities of audio serials

they'll always find an audience

(full disclosure: I worked in the factory for many yrs)

then, the retrenchment begins, the biz model doesn't hold up

EVEN, as we found out last week, for houses with tabloidy instincts like Wondery (full disclosure: a show I made was picked up by Wondery, "Will Be Wild")

everyone I spoke with who knows Bhattacharya well says he is totally committed to science and research...

so last month, VP Vance shared top billing at a conference with a convicted drug marketplace operator (who was pardoned by Trump)...

the occasion? a bitcoin fest in Las Vegas

recall who was sitting behind Claudine Gay at that hearing, seeming to nod as she tried to explain the university's efforts to balance free expression with the need to create a safe learning environment:
