So excited to have this opportunity to work with @ThisAmerLife team. This show inspired me to jump into the podcast field a decade ago. Thanks to @iraglass 's patience and everyone who works on the story bringing it into a brilliant listening experience. https://t.co/YKOguqO2Zg

#鉴播 刘敏是个聪明&外向而又倔强&要强的人，很适合干自媒体。另外，她的网感太强了，太喜欢追逐热点，虽然我个人不喜欢这种风格，但恰好也更适合自媒体，祝她成功。PS：这期听完颇有同感，媒体记者在前方拼死拼活地写稿，最需要的其实是后方的全力支持和经济上的充分认可，只有这样才能后顾无忧，否则就是人才流失。https://t.co/wiwprQ6g4u

Just listened to the final episode of @ShortCutsPod Thank you @FallingTreeProd @JosieLong @Ellie_McDowall @AxelKacoutie for r tending to this little radio garden with such care over the years.
I hope this space keeps, in new places, with new formats.

[Yi Yang @yang1989yi]

Hard to believe we’re about to say goodbye to Short Cuts. For years, it’s been a source of constant inspiration, showcasing the power of short-form documentaries and the passion of talented creators pushing the boundaries of sound. Thank you for this incredible gift.

Audio friends! Got an idea for a short #audio piece, narrative #podcast pilot, or another #story in sound? Make some noise and send it @TribecaAudio!

Can't wait to premiere new, original, and inventive work at #TribecaFestival25

[Fiona Sturges @FionaSturges]

Anyway, it's Monday so here's my @FT pod column on Short Cuts, the long-running BBC series made up of beautifully crafted and boldly experimental micro-documentaries. I often listen late at night, allowing its woozy themes to float into my dreams. https://t.co/PAoN0y9WRC

[Fiona Sturges @FionaSturges]

**drum roll** In today's @GdnSaturday, I met the producer, storyteller and podcasting OG, Sarah Koenig, to talk about 10 years of Serial, the blockbuster podcast that triggered the true-crime boom. She was just as cool and fascinating as I'd hoped.

If you've been laid off, or are afraid of being laid off, or have someone in your life who's been laid off - really that's everyone lol - I made this series for you.

Please share, so it can get to the right people.

During my tenure as managing editor for a business television network, I realized that in Western markets, many things tend to be concluded before Christmas. However, this year's pre-Christmas period has been anything but peaceful in my industry due to a series of unsettling news

[Ashley Carman @ashleyrcarman]

Scoop: Spotify is canceling two critically acclaimed podcasts -- @heavyweight and Stolen. Stolen won a Pulitzer Prize and Peabody Award for its most recent season while Heavyweight just appeared today on the @nytimes's best podcasts of the year list

@heavyweight @J_Goldstein @abexlumberg @podcaststartup @Gimletmedia @NPRinvisibilia @snoozepodcast_ @deathsexmoney Next year marks a decade since the podcast boom initiated by @serial Witnessing the industry's current state is disheartening, but our love for narrative podcasts and audio documentaries remains strong.
