Live radio, ladies and gentlemen.

@katie_honan I'm so sorry, Katie. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts.

Mourning my dad, a great New Yorker who was loved and will be missed by so many denissoconnor.com/obituaries/Mic… He hosted a whole news crew during Sandy vimeo.com/756120293?mibe… And spent a lot of time honoring indigent veterans nytimes.com/2017/05/23/nyr…

@HaanRolo I think credit goes to npr for that one, though I might steal that one for us, too.

@alecchamilton that Lie Cheat Steal transition was crisp this AM

Whoever picks the transition music for @WNYC deserves a raise

We have a winner! We asked you to choose NYC's most iconic bagel, via a ranked choice ballot. Thousands of votes later, @NYCVotes came on @WNYC today to tabulate the winner with @MichaelHillNJ. wnyc.org/story/bagel-el…

What is NYC’s most iconic bagel? Help us elect the city’s top bagel using rank choice voting ahead of the democratic primary for NYC mayor. Remember, you’re not picking your favorite bagel, but the one you think best represents the city. bit.ly/4dUXLJ0

@J__Velasquez They’re lucky to get you!

Some personal news: I’m joining Newsday as an investigative reporter. Exciting to get to bat for the hometown team. Send me tips: Josefa.velasquez@newsday.com

@JamesPedersenNY @WNYC It's posted in the slide show linked here! I liked it a lot. It's one of the last slides. wnyc.org/story/the-poet…

@WNYC what was the poem that was just read aloud (“I am a listener”)?

@kitson @MichaelHillNJ Honestly pretty much any mistake you ever hear Michael make is usually my fault.

@kitson @MichaelHillNJ It was my fault, Josh, at 6 am I typed something for Michael to read and wrote “Iceland” when I meant “Greenland.”

@MichaelHillNJ in what way did you "refer to the wrong country" in the earlier version of the Greenland segment? (It correctly noted that Greenland is territory belonging to Denmark.)

"Everybody has a voice for radio." Good stuff here. I love the NPR book - great fundamentals in this excerpt of the new edition: current.org/2024/12/new-ed…

“Ian Bassin, a democracy expert, calls these moves ‘anticipatory obedience’: fear by owners that if Trump wins he could take vengeance on companies that cross him.”

Even as WNYC celebrates 100 years on air, the history of WNYC continues to be made every day by people like you who support this station to keep it on the air. To thank you for your support, we’ve crafted a special gift: The WNYC Blueprint T-shirt. 👕 ➡️ wnyc.org/join

@jersiegel @GBH @TheWorld @GBHNews That's exciting! Congratulations! Enjoy all the sleeping past 4am.

Incredibly excited to announce that I'm taking on two new roles at @GBH starting next week: I'll be the global transportation correspondent for @TheWorld and @GBHNews, plus I'll be launching a new statewide show (radio + podcast) to air on multiple stations across Mass in 2025!

@kitson @WNYC @MorningEdition Thank you! I literally ran into the studio and read it cold when Michael's internet suddenly dropped. 😬

.@WNYC's @alecchamilton rocking it this a.m. on @MorningEdition...

Thanks to @Amanda_Rozon, Jazmyn Blackburn and Oyster for walking us through it on @wnyc this morning! gothamist.com/news/how-to-fo…

There have been 2 NYPD shootings within 48 hours where police tried to use a Taser first and it "didn't work." It turns out, NYPD Tasers fail 40% of the time gothamist.com/news/tasers-fa…

Sunday’s subway shooting touched several noteworthy trends in NYC. First, facts have changed multiple times since police first shot 2 bystanders and an alleged fare evader. The knife “recovered” was NOT the knife that sparked the shooting. gothamist.com/news/man-sough…

my favorite new york social code is when a lone person needs to get a stroller up the subway stairs. nearly instantly, a stranger picks up the other end of the stroller, helps carry it up, then departs as quickly as they appeared. no words are exchanged. eye contact is minimal.
