When I started at NPR 25 years ago things were very different. We were in the last part of the heyday of audio engineering, since we were still an analog shop.  It took an acknowledged amount of skill to do what we did, & the bar was high. Then digital came along.

A fellow #MassHole gave a speech to impressionable minds at the greatest university within one mile of 42.37343° N, 71.11947° W. It’s worth listening to. #Conan https://t.co/gB3vXRUBs0

@metrolosangeles is single tracking subway trains at 7th and Metro however, we’re seeing trains heading outbound on the inbound track arching on the third rail as they depart. Announcements on status are infrequent and inaudible. This is only happening to the new subway cars.

This is one of the very few times. I have felt FOMO while working at NPR West. Though I did watch the live stream.

There is something FANTASTIC about listening to Kate Pierson sing the theme to Pee Wee’s Playhouse. #SaidTheSecretWord #LaLaLa #NetflixIsAJoke

@BruceMcF @RMcElhenney @m_griffiths92 @Wrexham_AFC @TalkSoccer @LAFC @BMOStadium So what’s the IFollow audio? i thought it was Mark, or is it just not delayed enough to sync it with Paramount? Also to sync up audio & video I use a Mac program called audio, hijack, record the audio commentary, and then sync it back later with video.

[Patrick Murray @NPRPatrick]

As a radio person, it warms my heart to hear @RMcElhenney talking about seeking out @m_griffiths92 play by play for @Wrexham_AFC games. This is why I seek out @TalkSoccer for @LAFC. Radio is the only way to enjoy it. Even when I’m in the stands @BMOStadium

@LAFC @ESPNLosAngeles ESPNLosAngeles will likely only have their coverage online since the Lakers vs Timberwolves will be on the radio. Also, 980 La Mera Mera has coverage in Spanish

Wishing a Happy Public Radio Broadcasting Day to all who turn it on, celebrate it and work it. #NPRLife

@TalkSoccer @LAFC Will you be calling the game tomorrow?

@samgoodwynn @NPRDebElliott @wadegoodwyn The advice he gave I pass on most often is where he wrote every single word of his “2-ways” which are presumed to be coming off top of the head at the moment. This is to ensure the information is factual & the words sound like they’re coming from him. Nobody did it better.

So @Dommy_in_LA is irked by the @nflnetwork coverage of her beloved @RamsNFL since the Play by Play is even handled. She just needs to listen to the Rams Radio Radio Network on @espnlosangeles where her peeps hang. #Radio

@_KennyUong_ @metrolosangeles Something similar happened to me taking the old 439 express to downtown from fox hills mall. Drivers wanted me to pay cash for the express section since they couldn’t figure out how to take it out of the cash on my TAP card. They just needed to confirm the zone on their console.
