Let’s shake things up with a weekend listen. Phil Bronstein and I have recorded an episode of our new Podcast, What Hurts: Worrying About the News Since 2015. Phil is the Exec chair of The Center for Investigative Reporting, the former editor of the SF Chronicle, and has been a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his investigative reporting. And I’m Dave Pell. This project is still raw and beta, but we’re really excited about its potential (in a neurotic, negative, and hopeless sort of way). Give it a listen and let me know what you think.
