@khuldune's delightful episode on biryani, cricket and geopolitics for @TestKitchen is LIVE in the world! I had the honor of editing him and listening to him eat half a dozen different kinds of biryani. americastestkitchen.com/podc…

As the field of study to address the pain carried from traumatic events starts to gain traction, some find that body-based modalities are a helpful addition to talk therapy.
Today, @SinerSays chats with practitioners about the potential of these body-based therapies. Join us!
It was a real thrill to report an episode for @NPRLifeKit about traveling with young children! Listen & read: npr.org/2024/03/05/119697878…
Thanks to @FamVacationist and Local Family Passport for your insights; to @andeetagle and @meghankeane for making it sing; and to @MalakaGharib and Beck Harlan for making it shine online. Good podcasts are truly a team effort!
I wrote about what the Fulbrights are and why journalists are uniquely qualified for them. DM me if you have questions. emilysiner.com/2023/06/14/jo…

I'm working on an episode for @NPRLifeKit about traveling with kids under 2. Got a great baby travel hack? One great piece of advice you'd wish you'd heard before going on that big trip? Let me know so we can (maybe) feature it!
My Monday night: watching Gilmore Girls for the FIRST TIME and googling "does gilmore girls create unrealistic expectations of mother daughter relationships"
Layoffs suck in any industry, but I feel like it's especially difficult for journalists who work with a sense of mission. Speaking from experience: Give yourself time to grieve — it is a loss of purpose as well as livelihood.

There is perhaps no feeling more humbling as a court reporter than crawling on the floor to plug your laptop into a hidden outlet behind a very large, wooden bench. (aka I'm covering opening arguments in the civil trial against the NRA today...tune into @npratc at 5:50 pm!)
"The show’s fourth season, led by Julia Longoria, spun captivating and timely narratives." So proud that @MorePerfect was listed as one of the best podcasts of 2023.

I haven't lived in Nashville for ~7 years but hit subscribe so fast because I want more Emily in my inbox no matter what the topic is. (But also Nashville news stays wild, never change)
I'm starting to occasionally host @WPLN's NashVillager newsletter! (Turns out, if you text @mackstarks too often about how much you love his newsletter, he'll ask you to write for it.)
Look out for jokes, Nashville recs, and news. Subscribe here! wpln.org/nashvillager/

A theater — filled! — with folks who want to learn more about an investigative podcast. Great night @Belcourt for The Kids of Rutherford County.
This is happening right here in Tennessee. People know about it. The director of the facility is proud of it. And no one has stopped it.
We need more reporting like this.

In a world full of gloom, we have a little piece of joy today. I got to visit the puzzle master himself, Will Shortz, and talked with him about his love of puzzles, table tennis, and about coming out at 69 yrs old. npr.org/2023/11/12/121253480…
Listen to this podcast vvvvv
Ep. 3 of The Kids of Rutherford County is out today! @serial @nytimes @propublica @WPLN
This is my favorite episode because it's a beast. So much comes together. You finally hear from the KIDS. Plus THE JUDGE. (And there is a bit of Dolly) listen now!

For over a decade, Rutherford County, Tenn. was arresting and jailing kids for even the most minor offenses.
A boy accused of stealing a football jersey–jailed
A girl accused of pulling someone’s hair–jailed
A girl trying to use a blank check at a school book fair–jailed

As I figure out what's next after @WNYC, I'm looking for freelance work! Please hit me up if you need a podcast editor who can make your narrative or interviews shine, an unflappable temporary news editor, or a personable fill-in host. DMs are open!
