It was an honor to interview Bob Crawford of The Avett Brothers about his book, "America's Founding Son," live at the College of Charleston yesterday.

It was part of the Post & Courier's Charleston Porch Talks series benefitting the Public Service & Investigative Reporting Fund.

It was a pleasure to meet the great @malcolmguite, hear him read from “Galahad and the Grail” and have a few books signed tonight.

The bit on AI is in the last five minutes of their conversation, but the entire interview is fantastic if you have any interest whatsoever in storytelling. https://t.co/OS6d91PJ98

“To me, the idea that AI can write is sort of founded on the notion that there is no soul. To me, you write with something of a soul.” — @TomJunod on a recent episode of @david_perell’s “How I Write” podcast

Imagine being a bright-eyed J-School grad eager to launch your reporting career, and the editor of Cleveland's metro daily puts you on blast for wanting to be a journalist instead of an AI content farmer. https://t.co/sUbhYi9LwO

The biggest football game in Mississippi history! Ole Miss’s first ever playoff game, first 12-win season and Pete Golding’s first game as head coach. No place I’d rather be today than the Vaught. #HottyToddy

In the wake of a violent killing on Charlotte public transit, city leaders approved giving private security wider jurisdiction to enforce the law.

A similar plan was first proposed in 2016, according to a report obtained by @PCYorkCounty.

Rock Hill native Michael James started Campus Scenes in 1994, and in the decades since, he’s drawn dozens of iconic college buildings and mascots one dot at a time. Here's my latest story for @PCYorkCounty.

Techno Café is a coffee shop concept where robotic baristas craft each order and automation is part of the appeal. I wrote about Rock Hill’s newest cafe and it’s unique backstory for @postandcourier this week.
