Ma'ayan Plaut

Have you ever wondered, what does a podcast librarian do? It's okay, @weird_work did, too. And luckily, they recorded the conversation for you to hear! radiopublic.com/weird-work-859…

@arithisandthat @CTrouper But Charlotte… it could also be GOEAT!

@CTrouper @podcastacademy Wow good call

Now that I’m on the @podcastacademy’s board of governors, one of my goals is to make EAGOTs a thing. You reach EAGOT status when you win an Emmy, Ambie, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony🏆

@alexlaughs If you can take on difficult ratings on Ravelry you can do ANYTHING! Happy birthday, Alex, and to more of EVERYTHING listed here in the coming year and beyond! 🎉

Me Before You tackles a tough moral question: who is life for? When we live, is it for us, for others, both? I got unexpectedly all caught up in this book, so much so that I didn’t realize I was crying at the end. #LFL52in22 39/52

Have I read Holes three times this year, once of which was out loud to my friends? Yes. Does that say everything you need to know about how I feel about this book? Probably. I love the interwoven storylines that pop in at exactly the right time! It’s so good! #LFL52in22 38/52

2022! New personal project! More physical book reading, spurred by my local @ltlfreelibrary book finds. This thread (and #LFL52in22) will keep track of my project & my reading throughout the year. Why more (physical) books? So happy you asked: maayanplaut.com/post/672218282…

Read the whole thing, cause it’s Rose and it’s good and there are eels BUT from the midpoint on is the essay version of the excellent keynote Rose gave at #mpc2022 about endings! It is thoughtful and beautiful and I think about it weekly.

@data_spice_ @Goat_Emoji_ @a_freeparticle Hiiiii ❤️

Ma'ayan Plaut - we've never met, we may never meet, but your Pad Thai recipe has changed my life

@Goat_Emoji_ @a_freeparticle I also rarely follow recipes nor write them down but the pad thai was a summer of trial and error trying to get it right and when I finally did I HAD to save it. And I still use it! And clearly others do too!

@maayanplaut @a_freeparticle I basically never follow recipes, this is the only thing I regular cook where I actually do

@Goat_Emoji_ @a_freeparticle Wow well you married one of my fav people I met in college, this is great news!! What a lovely set of surprise Friday night notifications!

@maayanplaut @a_freeparticle ❤️❤️ Hahaha, I should have guess this might happen - thanks Michael! Ma'ayan - for context, I married Margaret Youngberg, who has kept your recipe since college and shared it with me

@a_freeparticle @Goat_Emoji_ This means we’ve met in the way I like most: over a good shared meal. May it one day happen IRL too!

@a_freeparticle @Goat_Emoji_ What!!!! AMAZING! So happy it helped you make a life changing meal ❤️❤️

@AlannaBennett The Heartbreak Bakery was so good I was kicking myself for not reading it as soon as I checked it out from the library because if I had time I would have read it again immediately.

Tell me a contemporary YA (not sci fi or fantasy) published within the last five years that I should read RIGHT NOW

There's a reason I'm on the board of @hubspokeaudio: there have to be alternatives to big podcasting, and there is a cost to being indie that can't be overlooked. H&S folks are working together to think, explore, and model success for independent creators. transom.org/2022/an-indie-…

@PodcastsInColor Everyone who knows you knows you’re a legend. They just have the ability to award it from a global (!) stage so that it can’t be denied by anybody!

@maayanplaut Lol! Tbh I never thought anyone saw me that way

THEY GAVE ME AN AWARD 😭

@wilmwilliams @laurenpassell All this!! Higher ed conferences ROCK the in-depth workshops. More hands on, more tangible stuff, more direct access to someone who knows their stuff inside and out. They should be at least a half day if not a full day of content so you can go really deep.

@laurenpassell I want WORKSHOPS on entertainment law, writing contracts, doing your taxes, how to do HR when you don't have HR, conflict management, and other business-focused panels that aren't focused on monetization--and actually teach you, not just tell you

What does a dream podcast conference look like to you? Please comment with your ideas, from full-time DEI employees as @wilmwilliams suggested to a nap room (my request.)
