If you're attending either/both, let's connect about the future of podcasting!

PBS and affiliate stations are in trouble if federal funding to public media is eliminated. TV is expensive to produce and at least half of the federal grants go to local stations that use the money to buy PBS programs. I don’t think eliminating the DEI office is going to protect them, though.

I'm so sorry to see this, Nick! Please give me a holler if I can help with your next journey.

If you Google "inauguration day," you're greeted with an animation of fireworks forming the shape of the American flag. Google has never done something like this for the inauguration, sources told me, out of fear of appearing partisan. But that's changed now, with Sergey and Sundar attending.
