What's WNYC, and the NYC press corps for that matter, without Beth Fertig? Thank you, Beth, for all of your reporting and for mentoring so many other journalists, including me.🙏🏾

(1/8) Big Personal News: Today is my last day at @WNYC . I've spent nearly 30 years in public radio because I believe in the mission and love our work and our audiences. But it's time for a new chapter.

This is an incredible (and moving) story. A court vacated the wrongful conviction of a man who has already spent 27 years behind bars, thanks to an investigation by... Golf Digest.

Even when I don’t send her links, my mom still listens to every single thing I do on the radio and sends me notes of appreciation. Moms!! ❤️

Today marks 8 years married to my Alex. Can safely say there's no one I'd rather be quarantined (w/ 2 high-energy kids) with.

I think constantly abt this stat from CDC: 60% of women who have abortions are already mothers. “One of the main reasons people report wanting to have an abortion is so they can be a better parent to the kids they already have," says @UshmaU .

Who Gets Abortions in America? (Published 2021)

The typical patient is already a mother; is poor; is unmarried and in her late 20s; and has some college education.

I’m all about this last day of school parade for PS 262 grads in Bed-Stuy. Teachers and school staff are nothing but love.

The need to diversify our content staff has always felt like an aspiration, rather than something broken that needed fixing urgently. That’s why I signed the letter too. Fwiw, leadership has actively engaged our criticism. I hope action is not far off.
