What a nice close read of Cement City. Nice to hear people really get it, both the immense amount of labor and what it adds up to: maybe the first podcast of its kind. 10 eps of unbroken scene tape, the only pause when someone asks @erinand to cut the mic. https://t.co/AndTShL7Uo

Reviews are in! Bingeworthy says Cement City is "a unicorn of a series" and calls it "strikingly original." "Am I guilty for enjoying it this much?" she writes. Podcast the Newsletter calls it "an incredible piece of reporting" and "priceless." https://t.co/S6tua3sNqX

[Erin Anderson @erinand]

Wow. Thank you, @iSamanthaHodder! Such a gift to have someone write with such care about our work.

This could not have come at a better time:

Authentic, wholesome journalism, much needed in the aftermath of the last week: crossing paradigms of politics, marginalisation and the importance of community.

@jmlaskas is epic, listen 👇🏼can’t wait for SII

CEMENT CITY is the story of one American town. It’s one small attempt to tell a story of America in this moment we now find ourselves. The complete series is finally out – almost 8 years in the making. We hope you’ll listen. https://t.co/qdGCOe1vR2 @jmlaskas @erinand @mbeditor

[Michael Benoist @mbeditor]

Today, I'm particularly proud of all the years I put into this podcast along with @jmlaskas and @erinand. It was born in the aftermath of 2016, when we were searching for answers about the country we live in. That search led us to Donora, PA. (1/3) https://t.co/S6tua3sfBp

[Erin Anderson @erinand]

I'm not sure what else to say about this, except that, yeah, it all feels eerily familiar. And wow how naive we were. It was definitely a more innocent time. @jmlaskas

[Cement City Productions @cementcityprod]

When we set out to cover the local election in Donora, PA, we had no idea how eerily familiar it would feel a few years down the line. Now here we are. Episode 9 is out: “No Indictments." https://t.co/qdGCOe0Y1u

[Cement City Productions @cementcityprod]

In the lead-up to election day, @jmlaskas and @erinand talk with WESA’s @PTonWHYY — about immersion journalism and how small-town politics echo the national stage. https://t.co/OtuWQh6x6M

[Siobhán McHugh podcast maker, critic, academic @mchughsiobhan]

Loving this podcast: quirky, real portrait of a dying American rustbelt town, told with love, a sharp eye, delicious writing & wry humour. Plus, the trivia! Who knew Edison had a concrete fetish 😄 Thnx @iSamanthaHodder for tip! @jmlaskas @erinand👌

[Erin Anderson @erinand]

@mchughsiobhan @iSamanthaHodder @jmlaskas Thanks so much, @mchughsiobhan! Yeah the concrete thing is fascinating. I’m desperate for one of those concrete pianos!
