Wait is that the Radio Prague guy

Velchik & DOJ responses here:

I was in court in July in Harvard v HHS & watched Velchik forcefully condemn his alma mater for ignoring anti-semitism. He argued the Trump admin had a duty to respond to Harvard's failings

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

in a more modest way, podcasts, I hope, are here to stay

Ashley's conclusion: learn video if you want to stay in the biz

I'm not so sure...if video is where the $$ is rushing in, then video is perhaps the next place to suffer podcasting's fate

this occurs at the precise moment that the producer talent factory is targeted for closure

(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")

"Serial" captivates millions

$$ rushes in

for a while, it looks like a boat that floats...
