Podcasts!

I think that's awesome. Podcasts and audio delivery of books is really an art.

Also my boyfriend just told me this morning that you can self-submit to Pulitzer Prizes. I had no idea. I thought it was a selection process by committee, but anyone can submit on your behalf or you can submit and then the committee decides. Interesting, huh?

I hope 1619 wins.

I feel like the people at public radio (NPR, BBC and so on) have to be both happy and banging their heads a little that the medium is finally being recognized in this way.

Like, "They're finally doing this NOW? All the Pulitzers we could have had!" from the years when they were more or less the only in-depth-audio-reporting game in town/the world.

Kai Ryssdal was definitely annoyed about it on Twitter.
