@stephaniefoooo I had that same call! I nearly fell for it.

I just almost fell for a scammer!!!?! Some guy called me, knew my name, said he was with customs and border patrol and gave me his badge number, then said that someone was trying to ship drugs to my house and that it was an "ongoing investigation."

@jacobpinter @TheWebbyAwards Jacob! This is bad news. But it’s a good time to put on your explorer’s hat and head out there. You’ll be ok; enjoy the adventure.

@StoriesByEli Eli! This is a serious bummer. So sorry to hear it. There are other worlds out there - go on an adventure!

Sadly I have some news to share: I was notified today that I, along with the team that produces the Overheard podcast, are being laid off due to restructuring at Nat Geo and Disney Working at Nat Geo was the dream and I'm grateful to have worked with such an amazing team

@bananapeele great job on such a well written article (Eugene Levy/NYTimes). I never reach out to say such things because most articles aren’t that well written.

Finally, congrats to @Marcys_projects @BriggsInSpace @TedDWoods & Davar Ardalan for their work on the Amelia Earhart series! Part 1 on the search for Amelia won the Gold @signalawards best history individual episode! And thanks to everyone who voted for us!

@arimehlman Better hurry up before it’s all gone.

I want to have a dream where i write the funniest tweet of all time

@ChrisGethard So bro.

Today I taught my son the term “hershey squirt”.

@ramenshopradio An ad for thinking independently? I’d be down.

Who wants to go in on an ad with me? Not sure what we’ll advertise (we can work that out later) but I want to support this show. It’s the most exciting show I’ve heard in ages. LISTEN TO THIS SHOW

@ramenshopradio So sorry Ellen. An amazing man who made an incredible impact. May his memory be a blessing.

My dad. 💔 washingtonpost.com/obituaries/202…

@nadiamdrake So sorry to see this. Your dad was and is a titan who changed not just the world- but something harder: perception. May his memory be a blessing.

He was there when I entered this world, and I was there when he left: Frank D Drake, May 28, 1930 - September 2, 2022. Rest among the stars, my sweetest Papa D. You will always be my brightest star. More info here: nadiadrake.com

@kate_mckean Becoming Blank — which is a tried and true book/tv trope (I’d say becoming dated at this moment), as well as a good potential book about dementia/parenting. Maybe a little on the nose.

@AdamFrank4 Thanks for your galactic contribution to this story @AdamFrank4!

This is a beautifully produced story about the most important equation in astrobiology.

@nadiamdrake @petergwin @StoriesByEli Thank YOU @nadiamdrake -- for helping us see the big picture! Your dad is an amazement; a huge honor to work on this story.

Super duper thank yous to @Marcys_projects for conceiving of, fighting for, and launching this episode, to @petergwin for hosting and for our super fun discussion (!!), and to @StoriesByEli for putting it all together. I had SO much fun working with you all -- TY x 10^6!! (3/)

I really loved this episode of Overheard, which is all about Papa D and his willingness to pursue an answer to the most profound question we can be asking. Have a listen! You'll get to hear from the man himself, in two recordings separated by more than six decades ❤️ (1/several)

In this episode I produced, we ask “the big question.”

Images from the #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope beg the question: is there life beyond earth? Frank Drake's equation helps us understand the answer. Here's an ep I produced for @NatGeo @AdamFrank4 @nadiamdrake @SETI_Sheikh @petergwin @StoriesByEli #seti open.spotify.com/episode/3Bh1UA…

@jacobpinter High praise @jacobpinter !! Many thanks.

@WhySharksMatter @randylacey2 @NatGeo @BriggsInSpace @TedDWoods @elasmophile @DavarArdalan Will do.

How much you fear sharks depends on the stories you hear. And that's bad news for sharks. Here's an episode I produced for Overheard @NatGeo // @BriggsInSpace @TedDWoods @WhySharksMatter @elasmophile @DavarArdalan #sharkfest #sharkweek open.spotify.com/episode/4mkpKJ…

On the latest episode of #OverheardNatGeo, we trace how attitudes toward sharks shifted in the past century—which directly affects the future of one of the most evolved species on the planet on.natgeo.com/3P1lOc1

@TedDWoods You’re awesome, Ted! Thanks for bringing it to life.

Congrats to Marcy on this one…thanks for letting me play with all the amazing field audio to put listeners right on the Appia where thousands of years of walkers have stepped! Listen to #overheard wherever you get your podcasts: NatGeo.com/overheard
