Can we make a laid-off audio producer/engineer super thread? I don't even know who is available for work anymore (or who even still has their old positions!!!) Respond below with what you're available for or folks you have loved working with!!!

Listened to an ep during a 4 am feeding with my newish born and it took me a full year to circle back to this whole thing...but it's incredible (and cohosted by a high school classmate of mine, @maxfreedperson!!) and a great way to spend 9 hours. Go listen!!

Dan Pashman isn't on here anymore
This is the most damning thing about the NPR layoffs. In 2007 I helped launch a show at NPR called The Bryant Park Project that was meant to be a younger, more conversational, digital/podcast first daily news show. I believe we were the first NPR show on Twitter. 1/

Please spare a thought for the 100 people at @npr, 10% of the workforce, being laid off today, Thurs and Fri due to a $30 million advertising shortfall. The people I've met at NPR are passionate, sharp and warm. We all stand on each other's shoulders. npr.org/2023/02/22/115…

This is devastating. Norm and his wife Heather were an essential source of knowledge, insight, and kindness while reporting School Colors with @GriffithMW. Please read this lovely tribute, keep his family in your thoughts, and carry forward his work.

Awful news: Norm Fruchter, a towering figure in NYC’s education equity movement, died after he was hit by a car crossing the street. We talked to ppl who knew him about his enormous legacy: ny.chalkbeat.org/2023/1/5/23541…

It's School Colors S2 feed drop day! For a little background: NPR supported the production of Season 2 and published all episodes on Code Switch, but @GriffithMW got to keep our IP and (eventually) publish to our own feed. If you haven't listened yet, never too late to start!
Brooklyn Deep@BklynDeep

If you subscribe to School Colors, we might have been blowing up your phone this morning... that's because it's homecoming day for Season 2! All episodes of S2 (orig. published by @NPRCodeSwitch) are now available in the School Colors feed.
