It's one of those stories most of us only come across a few times if we're lucky. Our former NPR colleague Michele Norris gained access to an eyewitness account of the Tulsa massacre : a white man who wanted to tell a world that was not ready to hear. open.substack.com/pub/michelen...

Now that ya'll have had a chance to watch my interview with @davidchappelle.bsky.social on YOUTUBE or heard the slice on @npr.org I want to make it clear for people who don't know how it works that Chappelle didn't "buy" member station WYSO; you can't . The community owns it 1/3

If you checked out my interview with @davidchappelle.bsky.social on YouTube you might have missed my story about gas prices on my drive out to Ohio on @npr.org . Even though NPR paid for the gas...it still hurt

I spoke with @michelmartinnpr.bsky.social much later in the day than we normally chat, and on television, about the exclusive NPR investigation into the Epstein files that aired on tonight’s Amanpour & Co. on @pbs.org.

Ok so I have read about Hollywood gift bags/goodie bags but had never seen one. This had a lot of "wellness" things--bone broth, stuff you put in water to feel better, things to put on your face to look better ..not gonna lie, I don't really know how to use these items. #fishoitofwater #goldenglobes
