People should be excited about @signalhillfm.bsky.social the way they get excited (or at least *used to* get excited) about an incredible debut album from an incredible new indie rock band. Could be the album of the year. Banger after banger after banger.
Our friends at the audio magazine @signalhillfm.bsky.social are making great work under a novel premise. In their Transom Manifesto, indie co-founders Jackson Roach & Liza Yeager bring us their backstory: offering up inspiration and new ways of approaching audio.

One of the reasons I’m so excited about the podcast @signalhillfm.bsky.social is that I’ve long wished more indie podcasters would form teams instead of going it alone. On this episode of Phonograph, Britta and I talk about what this amazing team has created.

I love the idea of helping a new show find an audience. @signalhillfm.bsky.social is not exactly obscure (they've had a story on @radiolab.bsky.social), but I still think fans of narrative podcasts will enjoy learning about the entire scope of their audio magazine project.

Having started Phonograph last summer, Britta and I couldn't have known how inspiring and restorative it would be to focus so much time and attention on audio stories we love.

Tomorrow we share perhaps the most inspiring episode yet (to us anyway) about the amazing @signalhillfm.bsky.social.

Caterpillar Roadshow, my @signalhillfm.bsky.social radio doc, is on @radiolab.bsky.social this week! It's a story about my mom's 10-year-old Japanese pen pal, his research on intergenerational caterpillar memory, and the questions we can and can't answer.

I feel the need to assert that Britta and I were talking about discussing @signalhillfm.bsky.social on her first episode of Phonograph back from maternity leave, and then this morning one of their stories is on @radiolab.bsky.social.

The point is we liked them before they were cool!

If anyone needs something uplifting today, this story about the collaboration between an American entomologist and a young butterfly hobbyist in Japan is lovely.

We're big fans of @radiodiaries.bsky.social and we're honored that this week they're sharing Conor Gillies' Issue One profile of historian Robin D. G. Kelley, "Pie Down Here."

Kelley listens back — for the first time in decades! — to his 1980s oral histories with sharecropper organizers.
