Really proud of this one. It blends narrative podcast techniques with vlog and traditional documentary elements. The end result is, I think, a wee bit unique. Let's call it a vlogcastumentary? Let me know what you think 🫶 youtu.be/ueI9M2vwqDc

It's foolishness to compare almost any footballer to Maradona. But let me go ahead and do it: The way McTominay led Napoli to a scudetto and then bicycle kicked Scotland to a World Cup reminded me of the great man's exploits. To be fair, McT was unaided by mountains of cocaine.

Was on a flight today✈️ and as I de-planed, after a safe landing and no catastrophic incidents, I asked the captain: "Did you watch Season 2 of @nathanfielder's The Rehearsal?" And he said: "No. What is that?"

I was like, "Um it's a show ... about pilots." And then the flight attendant said: "Aw does he [the captain] remind you of one of the actors?" I didn't want to hold up the passengers behind me so I nodded politely and left.

I hope they both Google the show and watch it. Because it's great. And because it might just prevent an accident.

My first winter in New England had me questioning why on earth the pilgrims settled here. It was brutal. But, I will say, Boston is beautiful in the spring. 📸 @FujifilmUS XT4 📍Arnold Arboretum

Was so inspired by The Cruiser's tweet that it informed my @letterboxd review. Thanks, Tom!
Congratulations Ryan, Michael, and to the entire cast and crew. Must see in a cinema and stay through the end credits!

Ideas for a podcast I'll never make #97 BRIT🇬🇧 POP Each week I present a new cultural artifact from the the BritPop era -- Oasis, Peep Show, David Dickinson, Nathan Barley etc -- to an American and we discuss how these things are impossible for the 🇺🇸 mind to comprehend.

I'm honestly not even totally sure that Americans can see David Dickinson.

Back in ProTools. I'd been working in Adobe Audition & Premiere for about a year and was afraid I'd forgotten it all. But, I guess, DAWs are like riding bikes or something and you never forget those hotkeys ... option+shift+return to infinity!

Hi folks! Some sad news: I was impacted by the Boston Globe layoffs last week, and my time at paper has come to an end. Layoffs are hard (this is my 2nd in two years). But I'm still really proud of my time at the Globe, and for taking a chance on a new project and a new city.

I'll take a beat to dust myself off and figure out what's next. If you have anything, or know of anything, that I could be a good fit for please do reach out. I produce, report, write, edit, and can make pods, TV, and video pods.
