- New: One week ago, a jury ordered Seattle to pay more than $30 million to the family of a teen killed at CHOP. Today, a survivor of the same shooting filed his own lawsuit against the city. Robert West was shot in the head at age 14 and survived. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
- My colleagues had me on the @kuow.org arts show Meet Me Here to talk about Infinite Jest lol www.kuow.org/stories/30-y...
- I'm very excited to announce a new investigative podcast I've been a part of. "Adults in the Room" looks into a 25-year-old scandal at Seattle's elite Garfield High School that went unresolved... until my colleague Isolde Raftery revisited her high school years. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...
- This launches a new effort at @kuow.org called "Focus" — a podcast channel where we'll bring you in-depth audio documentaries on a regular basis. It builds off "Lost Patients," the podcast I worked on in 2024 with The Seattle Times. Subscribe to Focus! We're keeping this type of journalism alive.
- "Adults in the Room" premiers later this month. You can hear the trailer now. It's been illuminating to work alongside Isolde, editor Jeannie Yandel, and fellow producer Alec Cowan to help report and tell this incredible story for more than a year.
