@uugwuu always puts together a great year-end list… and, well, look at that... @cbcpodcasts’ Love Me is included! Thank you @uugwuu and @nytimes but most of all to audio sorceresses @cristalliond and Mira Burt-Wintonick (who left this place). Thanks for inviting me on this ride.

Having reported on this industry, I knew there were shady actors. But part of me thought, surely they can’t be that bad, surely there are red lines. The world isn’t a comic book. When we went behind closed doors, I realized… sometimes it is. nitter.cf/LHreports/status/19781…

On a Saturday night I stumbled across something on the internet that made me feel like ****** my pants. A giant dataset of real surveillance operations targeting 1000s of people across nearly every country. Unraveling it and the mysterious company behind it has consumed 1.5 years

The overwhelming support from so many in the audio community means SO much. Even if we don't meet our goal for this EOY Campaign in the next day, we'll do ALL we can to stay afloat & fight for a more inclusive, experimental, equitable audio industry. bit.ly/20YearsOfThirdCoast
