@BrianLehrer producer. Fan of: sad books, radio, the Mets.

My 3-year-old made up a new word and it’s perfect: “attackle” definition: exactly what you’d think (what happens during sibling horseplay…).

[Mary Croke @MairCroke]

@CaseyCip It’s insanity. And we somehow still have several weeks with…no childcare 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Mary Croke @MairCroke]

7-year-old tells me some kids are masking up again “to avoid the tummy bug.” And casually throws in “Oh yeah 5 kids threw up on the blacktop today at recess.” 😳😳😳

O M G (and LFGM!)

Sorry the only home run I care about tonight is this one by Francisco Lindor in Queens that was “caught” by a dog at the game for Bark in the Park

The engineer on my train just had his last trip and his co-worker announced it and gave him a little tribute for his retirement (“a very fine engineer, one of the best”) and everyone clapped 🥹 🚊

Rest in peace Mick Moloney, friend, colleague, and mentor. There are no words sufficient to capture the totality of your impact, though in days ahead we’ll try. But for now, as we absorb your enormous, incalculable loss, just these: Thank you, Mick.

Haha. Just trying to manage some expectations. It’s going to be GREAT & fun! 🌟🌟

[Lulu Miller @lmillernpr]

Just finished running through our plan for the LIVE live show with producer extraordinaire, @MairCroke (of the @BrianLehrer Show). Who said basically: "Cool, now be ready to completely throw that plan away."
SUNDAY AT 8PM EST
@Radiolab LIVE
Send prayers

Really enjoyed this gem unearthed by @AndyLanset + the @WNYCarchives on bringing up baby circa 1948 ("real genuine kindness to the baby will help more than anything else") https://t.co/0CsywBdLT5

[Melissa Harris-Perry @MHarrisPerry]

Very excited to share this @TheTakeaway #DeepDive on #Passing. @dorianwarren and I took the full hour to engage with histories, meanings, and representations of racial and gender passing. Our guests are stellar. Please listen!

[Mary Croke @MairCroke]

Big news today @WNYC as they announce @MHarrisPerry will be the new permanent host of @TheTakeaway. I'm stepping in as the interim EP & am truly honored to work with Melissa & the whole team here. Tune in M-F at 3pm on 93.9FM or anytime wherever you get your pods!

[New York Public Radio Communications @NYPRPR]

Thrilled to officially welcome @MHarrisPerry as the new permanent host and managing editor of @TheTakeaway. Her longtime focus on the intersection of race, gender, politics, and power is a perfect fit for the show, and this moment.

[Mary Croke @MairCroke]

@johnthedomingos I. just. can't.

[Mary Croke @MairCroke]

May the @BrianLehrer Show change many more minds than just this one: https://t.co/xNjIJ37fxl (thanks @ddiamond for sharing this):

[Mary Croke @MairCroke]

@amyeley I mean, that is more the norm over here (also MAKE IT YUMMY lololol)

[Mary Croke @MairCroke]

I went for a jog at 6:15am, got home at 7 and the whole family was still asleep; had some coffee, read/listened to the news in peace so obviously I am ready to rule the world today.

[Mary Croke @MairCroke]

My friend @AlanaLlama has a new podcast, La Brega: Stories of the Puerto Rican Experience & we had her on @BrianLehrer today to help launch it! Listen to this ("one of the best talk radio segments I have ever heard" -- anonymous) & of course her pod: https://t.co/V5vIIkMX0S

[Mary Croke @MairCroke]

I had to WAKE MY KIDS* UP this morning at about 7:40am to get the big one ready for school. Feeling...suspicious, but hopeful that a new day is dawning. *they are 4.5/1.5 y/o.

[Mary Croke @MairCroke]

@rachelholliday Ha! Just Tweeted the same thing and saw yours! Busy day for us 30-somethings...

[Mary Croke @MairCroke]

So is every millennial in NYS spending today booking (or trying to book) vaccine appointments for their parents?

[Mary Croke @MairCroke]

This was a really good segment, with Dr. @darakass -- if you only have a few minutes, listen starting at 28:11 where she engages w/a retired nurse who is skeptical of the COVID vaccine, bc of how fast it came to be: https://t.co/p5b3GXElyV
