Rappers Drake and 21 Savage, who are releasing a joint album Friday, posted a spoof of a Tiny Desk segment to their social media accounts — and the Internet has largely mistaken it for the real thing. https://t.co/rYPtsJzBxN

NPR launches a paid podcast bundle, hoping to convert a national audience into local donors https://t.co/4ltNFrHAQM

to celebrate 3 years at NPR, here are 3 secrets I've learned:
1. no one Really knows what the acronym N.P.R. Stands for
2. The Tiny Desk is shot on a soundstage in front of a greenscreen
3. every time someone tunes in to the radio, a very loud alarm goes off in the newsroom

Never lived anywhere with much hail and so am fascinated by it. I mean, who wouldn't be. And now am going down a rabbit hole of how to save a record-sized piece of hail because apparently a freezer (which I'd expect to be the way) will shrink it? https://t.co/YqlzCRaPQ1

"It's very expansive. You don't even think about it, but it is extremely... open and wide and a big feeling to it." Can never read enough about Margaret Wise Brown's work. Thanks @jenbuske for sending this one. https://t.co/hbikEMnXG9
