I talked to Tamara Keith for a story about why so many voters falsely believe that Joe Biden won't be on the ballot come November. npr.org/2024/04/04/124…

Fun fact. I had just changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt when President Biden came back on Air Force One to talk to us. There was only time to swap my WHCA hoodie for a blazer and start rolling tape. npr.org/2023/10/19/120…

I can’t even tell you all what an honor it is to win a WHCA breaking news award for this story. npr.org/2023/10/19/120… Huge thanks to my editor Roberta Rampton who pulled a more than all-nighter with me.

CBS finally released Super Bowl ratings: It was most-watched telecast in TV history, w/average 123.4 million viewers, up 7% from 2023; more than 200 million watched all or part of it across all networks. 120 million watched on CBS alone, also a record. The Taylor Effect indeed.

Very sad to learn of the passing of the great Bob Edwards, the man whose voice made Morning Edition what it was. For me, one of the highlights of moving to DC and getting a job at NPR was getting to play softball with Bob on Sundays for a couple of years. npr.org/2024/02/12/165…
