I have news, Chicago! I am taking a break from the radio work I absolutely love— to do some other work I also love! This week is my last at WBEZ as I embark on a do-it-yourself SABBATICAL. facebook.com/lindalutton/po…

This is my bad-ass editor, y'all. And she's terrific at audio!

WHY would Bill illegally transmit old radio dramas 24/7 to a small sweet spot on Chicago's North Side? Well, he didn't have anything else to do with the antenna and transmitter. Might as well help a few people get to sleep! 💕📻Push play! wbez.org/stories/chicag…

Rise and shine, Chicago! It’s a beautiful day to support local journalists ☀️ #wemakewbez #wemakevocalo #1u

WBEZ and Vocalo are proudly brought to you by SAG-AFTRA journalists 🎙️🔊💪 #wemakewbez #wemakevocalo #1u

I had so much fun working on this team as a fill-in reporter!! 💪🏽❤️ Public radio listeners ask the best questions!! It was eye-opening and meaningful to have my reporting be directed 100% by questions from the public. 🤓

Some breathtaking & important criminal justice podcast investigations happening right now: • MOTIVE from Shannon Heffernan & WBEZ • OPEN AND SHUT from @PhoebePetrovic, Wisconsin Watch & WPR • SENT AWAY from @davidmfuchs, Jessica Schreifels Curtis Gilbert, KUER 90.1, The Salt Lake Tribune & APM Reports

Chicago, you are so lucky to have this journo covering your schools again! Mad respect for this tough, kind reporter/colleague/friend. Props Becky Vevea and Chalkbeat Chicago! 💞

18 Illinois correctional employees were found to have misused force or sexually harassed people in custody. None of the 18 faces termination. 11 of them still work for the state wbez.org/stories/correc…

No Surprises

Heroine

I want to say this. Pay for your news. Support public radio. Subscribe to the NYT and others. Journalism matters. It’s been bartered and discredited by those who stand to benefit. But everyone has the power to change that.
