[evan chung @silentreading_]

Here is perhaps the goofiest story I've ever produced. Thanks to @Studio360show for indulging my obsession with an obscure 1961 teen pop song about coffee mugs. https://t.co/Z3b52VhtEE

Honored to have my One Year story about the 1942 music recording ban on @99piorg this week! It’s got two of my favorite things: Chicago and Charlie Parker

If you're not listening to One Year, you are missing out! We are featuring a story by Evan Chung that I wished we did, but alas we do get to share it

@willapaskin @JHWeissmann @AuraLeeHarvey I still remember the look I got from the librarian when I checked out Yanni’s memoir in preparation for this piece…

On the latest Decoder Ring: how a fake country star inspired a pop culture craze for truckers https://t.co/BZ2SOni1ys

[evan chung @silentreading_]

Thanks to Decoder Ring for the chance to refresh my story on “Convoy”! A fitting tribute to Bill Fries, the real “C.W. McCall,” who died last month. We’ll catch you on the flip flop, Rubber Duck.

@MaddyDucharme Couldn’t have done it without ya!

It’s a season wrap on One Year: 1995! Slate Plus subscribers can hear me gab about it. If you haven’t already, now’s a perfect time to binge the whole show.

[Slate @Slate]

On today’s Slate Plus episode of One Year: 1995, host @josh_levin and producer @silentreading_ recap some of their favorite moments creating the 1995 season. https://t.co/fGBdJMv53f

[Slate Union @SlateUnion]

We returned to the table today for our last session to find out that management refused to move on parental leave and COLAs.

This is unacceptable. We will fight as long as we have to. Fair COLAs now! Slate Contract Now! #1u

New today! Working on this particularly fun One Year episode, I’ve really come to appreciate “Macarena” as a perfect pop song.

On One Year: The story of a musical phenomenon that wormed its way into our brains, and maybe never left. https://t.co/s2iCQXoR7O

[Slate Union @SlateUnion]

We're currently in our penultimate bargaining session and we're still energized to achieve the measures enumerated in the thread below. These basics aren't #SlatePitches. They're common sense, and they'll help us create a more equitable Slate.

[Slate Union @SlateUnion]

In our last two sessions at the table, our unit will continue to fight for fair cost-of-living adjustments, better salary minimums, meaningful diversity measures, and improved parental leave.

We bargain again tomorrow. We're ready to reach a deal. Is Slate management? #1u

@jsross119 Thank you for listening!

Loved @KBAndersen ’s cameo in this Hallmark Christmas movie

[evan chung @silentreading_]

Grateful to be featured here! And everybody should listen to ICYMI all the time!

[ICYMI_pod @ICYMI_pod]

today we're featuring another Slate podcast in our feed. One Year: 1995 is a fantastic series and this episode in particular is right in the wheelhouse of our listeners. enjoy! https://t.co/mQKoatqZZW

[evan chung @silentreading_]

On the latest episode of One Year, I report on a classic tale of the early internet: the innovative, forgotten 1995 “cybersoap” The Spot.

Hit the Spot!

[Slate @Slate]

In episode 4 of One Year: 1995 @silentreading_ talks to the creator of the first “show” on the web, an interactive Melrose Place–style soap opera called "The Spot."

“I have this idea...to tell a story in ways that nobody has told before."

@PiltdownMan_ @josh_levin Good question! It means pre-made music that movies/tv/podcasts can license. Conveniently I’ve made a whole radio piece about it explaining: https://t.co/SnaG3u9tLt
