New: for pt 2 in my inequality series for @nytimes, i dug into a deeply painful paradox: if we've truly had 2 jobs for every 1 unemployed person, how is it that ~60% of all those leaving prison are unemployed (*seeking and not finding work*) a year later?

This is alarming on so many levels.
So much respect for the brave @laurenchooljian

A group of incredibly talented Gimlet staffers were laid off today - producers, reporters, editors, engineers, and more. If you have any work for them or need help making a podcast or audio project, please reach out and let me connect you with the right person!

Thanks for taking the time to write this. You likely meant to say “irrelevant,” but “irreverent” comes across as a compliment. Have a great weekend.

Good morning to readers.
Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Please RT this thread. It’s an important one.
Some news: I’m leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically cut the org's workforce.
I’ve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting.
But this time, alone.

After months of declining follower counts, some state-affiliated media outlets on Twitter started to gain more followers, all around the same date. Here's the sudden shift of an account from Russia's RT, beginning a period of follower growth March 28 and onwards:

John Lansing, NPR CEO, at the @MorningEdition meeting.
NPR says it will de-emphasize Twitter. Aside from the misleading label, NPR says Twitter isn’t used by most Americans; drives little traffic to NPR; and “no longer has the public service relevance that it once had.”

NPR quits Twitter after it questions the network’s editorial independence - my story: npr.org/2023/04/12/116926916…

This week is heavy here @NPR. The layoffs become real and we will lose colleagues who work so hard to put on our programming everyday. We don't know who will go but we know that everyone who is here now... we need them. Tough days ahead.

David Rubenstein just thanked jay powell for his "service" "at $180,000 a year or whatever it is" ... babe lol that's .... that's actually high.

Ortho doctor just advised me not to get an MRI for some mysterious chronic and severe pain in my wrist due to the cost, and "then we'd have a diagnosis and we'd have to think about all the costs associated with that." He said to wait it out, or "you could try moving to France"

So I’m working on a story about marriage pacts - those “if we’re both 50 and still single let’s get married” deals. I’m looking for folks who went actually through with a deal like that or are working up the courage to go through with it. DM me if that’s you or someone you know!

We started working on this ep last month, but all of this has really been years in the making. And the story my mom shares about changing her name longer still.
Which is setup for why y’all’s responses to this ep in the last week have felt like diamonds:🧵npr.org/sections/codeswitch/…
