Whether we're battling fake news, censorship, or just sloppy reporting, it can be extremely difficult for the average person to be engaged with what's going on — especially in their city or region. Not to mention challenges with the funding model for some types of journalism. The news landscape can look bleak at times. The first half of 2024 has brought mass layoffs — and even shutterings — for legacy publications that are both nonprofit and for profit. Multiple NPR member stations have seen layoffs — like Colorado Public Radio, WAMU (DC's local), WBEZ (Chicago), and WBUR (Boston). It's not just radio. The Los Angeles Times also laid off entire departments, and they faced sharp critique for eliminating some of their post-2020 diversity-focused programming. Pitchfork is restructuring to a point that no one is even sure if they really still exist. With guest host Emily Siner, we'll ask what conditions reporters are facing right now and unpack what it means to be audience-funded. This episode was produced by Elizabeth Burton. Guests: Emily Siner (host), Nashvillager newsletter contributor and former WPLN News Director Rosetta Miller Perry, Publisher, Tennessee Tribune Eli Motycka, Reporter at the Nashville Scene Jesse Dukes, Freelancer and former producer on WBEZ's Curious City Mack Linebaugh, Vice President of Audience Engagement, Nashville Public Radio Alicia Montgomery, Vice President of Audio, Slate Further Reading and Listening If print is more your speed, read Eli Motycka's July 2023 Nashville Scene cover story  Trying to sort out what's happening at bigger NPR stations like WBEZ, WAMU, or WBUR beyond station leadership's official statements? Good luck. Check out Jesse Dukes Substack or the WAMU Union Twitter. If the Uri Berliner debacle was news to you, here is his piece in The Free Press, and a rebuttal from Slate's Alicia Montgomery.

The film is set to premiere in 2023. In this week's episode, Paloma shares her experience creating a web series and how she's measuring her success as a working artist.

Eliminating College IDs Isn't the Only Tactic to Stop Students from Voting.  Just Ask New Hampshire.Today's Script:  (Variations occur with audio due to editing for time) Today's Links now below the scriptYou're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.Thousands of students move to New Hampshire and live nine months of the year attending school.  Under the state constitution's “domicile” rules, those students may choose to vote in the state, or vote absentee in their originating state.  And for decades, a college ID and apartment or dormitory address have been acceptable proof to register to vote in New Hampshire.  But since 2011, some anti-democracy legislators have tried to stop them. In 2018, Senate Bill 3 was signed by Gov. Chris Sununu, requiring a student claiming domicile to purchase a New Hampshire drivers license and register their car in the state.  It was thrown out by the courts in 2020. In 2020's legislature, one bill proposed eliminating use of a dormitory address as qualifying for domicile.  One attempted to eliminate college IDs for voting.  In 2021, another bill would have eliminated same-day registration, used by over 48,000 people in the 2022, but often used by new students to register.  Just this March, HB 405 proposed requiring students to have in-state tuition to qualify to vote, and to live in NH for 12 months of the year, unlike other state residents. So far those bills have failed, but it shows the lengths that some anti-voter legislatures will go to keep college students from voting.We have articles and groups taking action at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org.  I'm Brian Beihl.Today's LinksArticles & Resources:Huffington Post - (2011) New Hampshire House Speaker William O'Brien Says 'Foolish' Students 'Vote With Their Feelings'NBC News - (2018) New Hampshire makes it tougher for students to vote.

The later work of Russian ex-pat turned German Expressionist turned indispensable Bauhaus faculty member Wassily Kandinsky is a lot like the Bauhaus itself: a disparate collection of pieces parts that ends up assembling itself into a transparent, efficient, powerfully cohesive, form-follows-function whole. This episode was a collaboration with WBUR's Radio Open Source: check them out at radioopensource.org, and listen to their show on the Bauhaus Centennial on April 11, 2019 at 9:00pm EDT on 90.9 WBUR Boston.

Nearly 30 years ago, thieves posing as police officers broke into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and made off with 13 artworks. The total value of the heist in today's market? A cool US$500 million, making it the biggest art theft of all time. Despite a $10 million reward no arrests have ever been made, and none of the art's ever been recovered. 'Last Seen' from WBUR Boston and the Boston Globe is presented by Kelly Horan and Jack Rodolico.

For the past several years, David Ramirez has been traveling around the country with an acoustic guitar, pouring his heart into his fine, passionate tunes. He's mostly been doing that alone, with no band to back him, while the arrangements on his albums have grown both more subtle and more expansive. On his new album, We're Not Going Anywhere, the follow-up to his 2015 breakthrough Fables, his sound has taken another new turn. Ramirez is backed by a full band, and brings in earthy-sounding synths and chiming guitars, an almost nostalgic 80s vocabulary of instrumentation to bounce off his often-elegiac songwriting. “People Call Who They Want To Talk To” sounds like Rodney Crowell writing the theme song for a John Hughes movie. “Time” is a rhythmic patchwork of mournful pedal steel and a bubbling synth that could have been sampled from a Howard Jones album. It would be difficult to tour with this album alone, and when I caught up with Ramirez before a recent show at the Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge, Ma, he was glad he didn't have to. As you'll hear in the beginning of this interview, he's happy to round out the live sound on the current tour, but he's also thrilled just to have some company. Ramirez was relaxed and engaging when we sat down to talk. He doesn't raise his voice much, but he's quick with a smile. The new album is personal and political, and we talked about the inspirations for songs like “Stone Age,” “Twins,” and “Eliza Jane,” and about how he came to be that lone road warrior troubadour. If you haven't heard his stuff, head over to his site or to iTunes to pick it up, and come back to this podcast once you've ingested it. You won't regret it. Also in this edition, I debut a new feature, doing the “New Release Round-Up” at the top of the show, detailing some of the best stuff coming out this week in comedy, music, and horror. I attended the Merrimack Valley Halloween Book Festival over the weekend and came back with a couple of things to tell you about. And as with every episode a new track after the conversation. This week it's comedy from Dana Gould, from his new album, Mr. Funny Man. I'll be speaking with Gould for WBUR Boston's ARTery site about the new album and season two of Stan Against Evil, so look for that on their site soon.
