What I loved about Wade's reporting was not just his distinctive voice, but how he wrote so beautifully to that voice. And he was a generous, kind and gracious friend and colleague. Rest in peace, my friend.

@sarahmccammon My wife made me this to tape to the basement door, where my home studio is. That’s also where the loud furnace is, which I must turn down so it doesn’t kick on when I’m on live or recording… but I often forget to turn it back up until we’re all freezing

An excellent portrait of Nikki Haley’s hometown by my colleague @sarahmccammon is worth a read or better yet, a listen.

[Sarah McCammon📻 @sarahmccammon]

Nikki Haley’s tiny hometown of Bamberg, S.C. plays an important role in her story about herself and her presidential candidacy - so I went there this week: https://t.co/3OhtxCkHoX

[Weekend Edition @NPRWeekend]
