This is unacceptable, WBEZ. AND EXTREMELY SHORT-SIGHTED. It’s heartbreaking in more ways than I can name. But to brag on your growth for years and then to do this is just appalling. My friends deserved better. And this is not right.

Laying off your entire award-winning podcast department and the radio station that actually has the Black and Brown listenership you claim you want to grow, and doing this as a PUBLIC RADIO STATION, is a choice. Frankly, I’m not just disappointed. I’m angry.

I have to sit with this for a minute.
I spent nearly ten years making radio and podcasts at Vocalo Radio 91.1 and WBEZ.
I made my career there and now just…poof.
This is a HUGE loss for Chicago and for me and my people personally.

I am stunned.

I’m headed to LA for the Ambies this weekend - if you’ll be there too, let me know!! I’m trying to be so brave and meet new people!

actually yea, thanks for asking! it’s: “ceasefire now”!

I still think we should listen to the Jewish creative professional whose movie about the Holocaust won an Oscar last week, and who used that as an opportunity to speak out against present day dehumanization.

(But the rest of us denounce this letter and stand with Glazer, just FYI)

extremely brave of glazer to have made this speech i can't believe that so many i previously admired willfully misinterpreted its meaning

only being able to find 450 jews in hollywood to sign this letter....sure says something!!!!

'Every civilian death in Gaza is tragic. But Israel is not targeting civilians. It is targeting Hamas.' oh ok so then the IDF is just unbelievably fucking bad at their jobs, got it.

Shoutout to the 900,000 Jewish creatives, executives, and Hollywood professions who haven’t

I’m halfway thru that rom-com Upgraded and it’s cute but no one told me it would be highly triggering for the ~ Former Assistants to Intense Narcissistic Nightmare Women in New York ~ community, of which I am a member

average chicagoan tweet: I live in a spacious apartment in a walkable hip neighborhood, surrounded with fun things to do and young people. my rent each month is a smile and a pat on the head. every winter I think fairly seriously about killing myself.

becca is so good at this, she gave me a pro tools refresher session a few years ago that was a game-changer for me!!!

in case you were wondering what a radio producer does, let me tell you! (spoiler it's a lot)

producers typically:
- pitch story ideas
- write scripts
-book/pre-interview guests
-prep the host with reading + notes
- cut tape on crazy deadlines
- monitor continuity in tape

for #internationalwomensday , may I suggest listening to the The Podcast Academy award nominated #WomenofMarvel !? feat. 12 of Marvel's best heroes and tons of incredible women and people of marginalized genders talking about them. idk i think it's pretty good podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wom…
