Decisions can be hard. So make less.
I’ve written a couple of times about the skills I am trying to develop as a manager, but the buried lede in those stories is the fact that being a manager is an entirely different job. It’s sort of like “hey, you were good at doing this- how about you now do an entirely new […]
For the past few years I’ve been putting together a list of my favourite songs of 2014. The first time I did it I had over forty tracks, but I’ve been whittling it down to less every year. I try to do less because I feel like seven hours is too much for most people […]
As tempting as it is to mock Gawker, Buzzfeed, et al I think it’s wiser to pay attention to how they fare at carving out a new model for journalism in the digital age.
Adults used to be defined by what they have- spouse, kid, car. We need to start defining them by what they do.
2014 was the year I gave up on “hearing everything.” I used to diligently go through new album releases, music blogs, playlists, and charts to hear as much of what was being made as I could.

In which I reveal my completely guessed-at secret strategy for hitting number one in the ratings.
In a post called “The Racists We Love,” Jay Kirell documents the help he’s had in his life – a family member who got him a job, a manager who gave him a raise, fellow army members who saved his life – from people who hold and communicate racist views: “At no point in time did I […]

“It’s a podcast. It’s kind of like your radio show except people listen to it on purpose.” – Jesse Brown, Canadaland, Episode 1 Yesterday, I argued that the success of Serial/StartUp/Radiotopia heralded the arrival of a new era of highly-produced, digital-only audio storytelling. Today I’d like to carry that line of thought to a new question: […]
With Serial and StartUp, we’ve entered the Netflix-era for audio production.
