We were disappointed that no one from Spotify management came to our first bargaining session, so we're inviting Sahar Elhabashi & Liliana Kim to join us at the table next week! Read our letter to them, signed by our unit and Parcast Union

it's been less than a month since Spotify shuttered Gimlet & Parcast as we knew them. which means there are a lot of amazing talented podcasters out there still looking for work!
anyway hire me and my friends pls <3

3 weeks since the layoff and it still feels weirdly fresh. But! I have a long flight tomorrow and am available if any of my journalist friends need transcribing done. $1/audio minute ($1.50 for rush jobs) and my email is [email protected]. Tell your friends! ❤️

Hey #podcast Twitter! Solidarity opportunity next week.

Hope to see you all there.

new from me: inside spotify's massive podcast pivot. i spoke to 10+ current and former employees to capture the scene leading up to last week's cuts. the layoffs triggered CA's WARN act bc they were so deep + the uncertain future of specific union efforts

It’s been a week since Spotify closed Serial Killers Podcast and laid off myself and the majority of my colleagues and supervisors.

ICYMI, check out the list of folks available for hire below in what was my final tweet for Parcast Union. 😢🫡

I'm still processing my layoff from Spotify podcasts (and likely will be for a while, I LOVED my job), BUT now is as good a time as ever to put out a shameless reminder of the services that I offer: (1/5)

Seriously. What Spotify did to Parcast is fucked up.

They acquired the network, then gutted some very good podcasts and laid off lots of people.

They should have just left Parcast alone in the first place.

Capitalism ruins everything.

Hire me to research and fact-check your project! My resume (alongside so many talented writers, editors, fact-checkers, researchers) is here. We're the former staff of Serial Killers Podcast: mallorycarra.com/hire-parcaster…

If you need a podcast story editor, I am newly funemployed and 100% your girl! Parcast Union

Sarah is such a perceptive editor that it makes my brain hurt a little bit. I was always blown away by the ways she could level up both a script AND the writer working on it with detailed notes and sharp questions -- any team would be lucky to have her!

Mallory balanced her formidable writing and editing slate with chairing our union's DEIA committee, working with internal ERGs, AND being a professor (!!!) at USC, and somehow made it all look easy. Her passion and talent for inclusive and ethical storytelling is infectious.

Parcast, and especially the Parcast Union, would be nothing without Angela. She'd clear-eyed and open-hearted leader, both creatively and professionally, AND an incredibly talented writer and editor!

pour one out for Unsolved Murders, the wackiest radio play i ever did work on

A huge loss of Serial Killers Podcast podcasts that me & my colleagues worked tirelessly on. I loved writing for Disappearances & Sarah Turney for several months; it was the studio’s most ethical, empathetic true crime show.

Sad to see they’re all gone now. 😞 digiday.com/media/spotify-…
