Aaand that’s a wrap!!

Thank you everyone who came out and who’s listened to Lost Patients 🎧Even among a subject that’s often complicated or seemingly dark, we had a lot of laughter and earnest conversation. Feeling very grateful for y’all!

1985. It’s Cops vs Punks in Seattle. A riot breaks out at a Circle Jerks show. And a local tv commentator— Lou Guzzo— takes to the airwaves, denouncing “teen punk rockers.” This episode Let the Kids Dance! is fascinating! https://t.co/DjBhLEw8Kx

A mom struggling to find care for her adult son. A public defender seeking to get patients out of involuntary care. Courtrooms inside hospitals. This episode of the Lost Patients podcast from @otherwilljames @KUOW @seattletimes is stunning.

So excited to share the “Ghost Herd” podcast! @AnnaKingreports tells the mind-bending story of Cody Easterday, a WA rancher who swindled a global agribusiness out of $244M by inventing a fake herd of 250k cattle. https://t.co/iuEKIqMeES

I have EXCITING NEWS! ✨I’m joining @KUOW as News Director in June. Thrilled to get to work with such incredible people at an amazing NPR station. The sad part: I’m going to really, really miss the talented @WBHM team. Excited for this next chapter in Seattle!

@ChrisBChester @wamu885 @JWhitePubRadio @AMontgomery_998 In my case “bs” likely served dual purpose. abbreviated proper noun, along with common noun/ adjective

Check out our new show, The Wild https://t.co/r1r0KVSudu We imagined a podcast that would take listeners into the lion's den, to tell the stories of resiliency + researchers who brave the elements to study and protect wildlife. I think they nailed it. https://t.co/NqUjzClTtp

This episode of Prime(d) is badass. They built a bot and talked to the people have written code for Alexa, Cortana and Google Assistant.

[Joshua McNichols @joshuamcnichols]

Yeah, tho I walk to the edge of the uncanny valley and gaze into its depths, I shall fear no bot. Not even the Alexa-like chatbot that sounds just like @carolynadolph. This week's episode of Primed is a wild ride with @NoelleLaCharite @DarrenGAustin @KUOW https://t.co/UgFg8IrL2H

[Joshua McNichols @joshuamcnichols]

Sometimes virtual assistants like Alexa are creepy. Other times they're useful. We wanted to understand where that line is... so we built a bot ourselves using Microsoft tools. Hear more on this episode of Primed: How Amazon is changing life as we know it. https://t.co/zAvpfnecn9
