Great chatting to @AsadHashim for the AFP. Podcasts are moving firmly into the mainstream, for good or for ill.

[Asad Hashim @AsadHashim]

The more informal tone of podcasts allows listeners to feel like they're "getting to know" the candidates, says @learedfern. "These one-on-one conversations feel more like discussions than traditional, interrogative interviews." https://t.co/OoxlRNyGyg

Right back at you @Lucy_TheConvo

This interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates has become controversial, but I'm glad the questions were asked, because the responses from Ta-Nehisi have such moral clarity. https://t.co/wa7AbYVpOJ

I really need everyone to understand how big Call Her Daddy/Alex Cooper is:

—Second-most popular podcast in the world; 5+ million downloads a week
—Most-listened to podcast among women ages 18-24
—Reaches a lot of people who are NOT political

So, yes, this matters & is huge.

We should always be free to ask questions, and we should always be able to question laws.

“If you’re defending the suffering in Gaza…then I’m sorry, but you’re a sociopath.”

Incredibly powerful and utterly compelling closing comments by Mehdi Hasan.

The myth that publicly funding private schools somehow saves the public money takes a further hammering. https://t.co/JIfCefKyCV

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

With the outpouring horror in Gaza, one doesn't need to be a medical professional to empathize with these doctors' feelings. Enraged at the incessant brutality used against defenseless civilians. Offended at the flimsy justifications made up to cover for int'l crimes. Incapable to hear anyone's excuses anymore. Desperate for change, and accountability.

[Pelham @Resist_05]

Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan gives an heartbreaking recount of the atrocities she faced in the emergency department in Gaza…🇵🇸💔

Great thread

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

It was 1999.

The previous year, Matthew Shepard, just 21, had been beaten, tortured, and left to die on a fence post in Laramie, Wyoming because he was openly-gay.

@GretchenMedia @qianjinghua Thank you. You are too kind. I’m fortunate to do something I love and to work with terrific students & colleagues - present and former. Thinking of you both.

[Lea Redfern @learedfern]

Very grateful for this opportunity to work with the wonderful A/Prof Venu Arora and our common interest in media through a feminist lens.

Humanities Fellow, A/Prof Venu Arora @VenuArora1 @JindalGlobalUNI will work with Dr Diana Chester @drdianachester and Lea Redfern @learedfern @usydsace on innovative audio pedagogies for #socialjustice and #digitalrights #humanities #soundstudies

[Lea Redfern @learedfern]

@qianjinghua The opportunity to bring excellent educators from across the country online was a major benefit of the pandemic classes. It is lovely to have the students back on campus, but we - the team and the students - were lucky to have you.

[Paul Bongiorno @PaulBongiorno]

No amount of argument about @SenatorPayman and how she got into the senate will help @AlboMP …the fact is her stand on Gaza is backed by the ALP platform and widely shared in the party and beyond in the Australian community.
Israel’s onslaught is an obscenity.
