@levarburton It couldn't happen to a more deserving human being! 💖 love you!

My ancestors are dancing and my heart is full… 💜🙏🏾

“Eradicate climate change references”; only talk to conservative media; don't leave a paper trail for watchdogs to discover. In a series of never-before-published videos, Project 2025 details how a second Trump administration would operate. propub.li/3SLbCbv

@shanepang I don't have any leads right now, but will definitely keep an eye out for ya. It's been a rough year!

@JesseThorn “This is a great f’in interview, 40”

@wyntermitchell Wooooooow and your incredible look!!

We did it guys #EverybodysInLA

@maryohara1 @CommLivingmag @Saba_Salman Wonderful! Congrats! ❤️

Got some good news today. My regular column for the ace magazine @CommLivingmag has been shortlisted for an award at the 2024 Southern California Journalism Awards! I'm a finalist for Best Foreign Columnist. Thank you @Saba_Salman for having me write for the magazine!

@kristianiaclark @PeabodyAwards Congratulations! It was an amazing season. I've recommended it over and over. I hope The Uncertain Hour lands a great new home. We need it!

WOAH we've been nominated for a Peabody!!! Our last season of The Uncertain Hour (RIP)- the podcast I made & hosted for 6 yrs - was just recognized by @PeabodyAwards!!! So grateful for our amazing team & all the folks who shared their stories to shed light on welfare-to-work.

@lmillernpr It sounds so fun!! I just preordered a copy for my son on Bookshop!

First review of Trucky Roads is in!!! Publisher's Weekly called it "a high-energy truck rally with far-out vibes." ✌️😎⚡️🙏 My first children's book, illustrated by the psychedelic Hui Skipp, scootin' your way in June!!! Read review/ preorder here: publishersweekly.com/9781665919173

@SeeJaneMarie Oh wow YES!!

@maryohara1 I will forever recommend Great News! A TV journalist's mom applies to be an intern at her newsroom. Available on Netflix. I've watched the run of it at least 2-3 times. Silly, full of jokes, Andrea Martin is amazing in it. ❤️

Anyone got some silly TV shows to recommend for decompressing? I'm working on the 10th anniversary edition of #Austerity Bites and, even though I know in my bones the abject destruction the Tories have caused, immersing myself is leaving me punch drunk.

I loved sitting down with Abhijay for this interview about Sound Detectives! He had really done his research, and asked great questions. Click through for the article and some fun photos of me and Joanna 😎

@plusgreg Thanks for staying, Greg. ❤️

Episode #2 of Sound Detectives, my new podcast for kids and families, is out and available for your listening enjoyment. #bydhttmwfi podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sou…

And finally, a shoutout to my co-creator & work wife Joanna Sokolowski for her unbeatable creativity and drive, and for making every Zoom call more joyful. We're so proud of the show, and hope you like it!!

Huge thanks to Tomeka Weatherspoon for helping us find the voice and keeping us on track! @TalonStradley for pouring so much energy and creative juice into the show! @MattPowersESQ for comedy and story stylings! @revjohndelore for getting our story straight! 4/

I'm PUMPED to share Sound Detectives, my new kids podcast with Joanna Sokolowski and @levarburton!! It's a comedy/mystery series about sound! With voices and improv from the incredible @vinn_ayy, Jess McKenna and my personal hero... LeVar! link.chtbl.com/Fum6CkPD

@AndiKristins What a beautifully designed trailer! Excited to listen when it's up online.

About a month ago I made this piece w/ my mother and the wonderful @Jomeek. It's a love letter to the nature, and magic, and stories of my homeland. It premiers this Sunday at 18:45 GMT on Between the Ears. Here's a short trailer: youtu.be/Npvfre1XeNg?si…

+ Another podcast I love this week: #theclimatequestion. One of the worst things about climate change (besides actual climate change) is the horrific dread & guilt that makes me want to turn away. This show is honest but encouraging. Makes me feel like other people actually care.

Listen to The Dream S3 about ~life coaching~! Insightful, vulnerable, empathetic and only sometimes snarky, and not in the "I'm so above this" kind of way. Jane makes hosting sound effortless, asks incisive Qs and lets her subjects talk. @littleeverywhere is great at this.
