At the height of the #MeToo movement, @Jezebel's then-EIC @Koalani and @nytimes then-gender editor @jessicabennett did a series I produced on @TheTakeaway that taught me so much about that moment. Here was one was one of my favorite conversations. RIP Jez. https://t.co/xy936u9R6P

Please stop assuming that too many em dashes means AI written. Some of us are producing grammatically incoherent work the honest way!

I think is my favorite episode of #1bigthing so far...even if it's FOR THE BIRDS!

#Birding @edyong209 talks with @NialaBoodhoo about how birding can, among other things, help with Long covid.

Plus @AGyllenhaal!

I've been to the Tidal Basin a million times over the years, but I'd never seen the water this high. It really feels like a glimpse of the future. https://t.co/QlLpVTXqHQ

I’m so proud of what this small but MIGHTY team built in @Axios Today! Excited to work w/ @NialaBoodhoo on a new weekly, but sad for the end of this special show that proved a daily news pod could actually (seriously! truly!) be a joy to make. Grateful I got to experience that.

Jay Cowit is sound of @TheTakeaway, the historical record of @TheTakeaway, the soul of @TheTakeaway and my 7AM bestie for the past two years. The next host, show, & station lucky enough to work with him will find him to be extraordinarily talented and profoundly human.
