I felt similar about May December and tried, and failed, to express this to friends. Like, it was brilliantly directed and performed with nuance but also I'm like everyone is gonna google the real story and the kids are gonna be dragged through scrutiny AGAIN. Is the film worth that?
Thank you for all the great listening recommendations. I’ve found myself searching for some new things, but it’s kind of like trying to figure out where to get dinner in Manhattan: too many unknown options. Recommendations from people whose taste you trust is the only way to go. I wish I had some recommendations of my own to share that aren’t already obvious. And I love your thoughts about the rhythm of audio production. I always tell my students that it’s about listening for the music in a conversation.

Some possibilities for this coming week:
- Assemble and enjoy a dessert that sounds fantastic and you've never made before.
- Write to a former teacher who made a difference and tell them so.
- Watch the film Dumb Money if you haven't already: power to the people! Booo, hedgefunds!
- Visit a neighborhood where you live you've not been to and have a backyard adventure.
- Let out a sigh of contentment after you turn off the light when your head hits the pillow. Really! Audibly. It's a marvelous way to end a day.
One more: Sleater-Kinney's album that dropped this week is worth a listen. Propulsion!
all very good suggestions!
Love what you wrote about your audio journalist origin story. It resonated with me as well.
Are you considering Patreon for funding?
