Hey Philly:
I’ve lived in this glorious, gritty city for 22 years. Now I get a chance to finally cover the place. I’m the new executive producer of @citycastphilly, a daily news podcast & newsletter. Tell me shows we should do & people we should talk to: matt.katz@citycast.fm 2/3
Goodbye NYC:
I’ve taken a voluntary layoff from @WNYC/@Gothamist, with severance (❤️ you @NYPR_Union). It’s been a privilege to talk on the radio for 11 years: I filed ~2,000 stories, guest-hosted 5 shows, exposed abuse in ICE & at Rikers, helped win a Peabody for #Bridgegate 1/3
@theapplehub I would like to see persistent or active GPS - so when you’re driving the GPS will warn you whenever you’re entering an area with red light cameras or speed cameras or warn of road hazards and heavy traffic on a roadway. And of course, police speed monitoring.
Today (7/24) our amazing host Alison Stewart will begin her journey to donate a kidney to her sister, & will be out on medical leave. Please join us in wishing her all the best! Until she returns, we've got great guest hosts lined up. Catch us on weekdays 12-2 ET on @wnyc.
