People, please stop this with promoting Tim Ballard as an advisor to Trump. He is not who you think he is... AT ALL. The cases against him aren't lawfare or political. If anything, we are trying to clean the dog shit out of our own backyard. I am a conservative woman, a veteran, and a former law enforcement officer. I witnessed what Ballard is with my own eyes and I will not stop fighting to ensure he doesn't continue to poison the anti-trafficking community. @elonmusk @joerogan @TheoVon @realDonaldTrump

This is going to be a fantastic, yet troubling 8 part series. Beginning October 21, "The Opportunist: Tim Ballard," PodcastOne will explore the rise and fall of Tim Ballard, the celebrated founder of Operation Underground Railroad. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Sarah was the most meticulous and dedicated editor I worked with. She was as interested in creating great stories as she was in being rigorous about research, and I really appreciated that as a fact-checker. Hire her!

Fact-checking is already rigorous work, but Claire was more than a fact-checker. She knows how to help a story shine even when managing limited, verifiable fact. She parsed through EVERY word to make sure our stories were as accurate as they were interesting. Hire her!

If you’re in need of a writer who learns her research like the back of her hand & weaves compelling throughlines, Kylie is your girl. If you’re in need of a coworker whose dry wit will make you spit out your coffee, Kylie is also your girl.

Sarah is such a perceptive editor that it makes my brain hurt a little bit. I was always blown away by the ways she could level up both a script AND the writer working on it with detailed notes and sharp questions -- any team would be lucky to have her!

Spotify going to the media about studio layoffs the day before laying us all off:

If you’re in need of a fact-checker 🙌🏼🙌🏼👇🏼👇🏼

(1) Lest we forget, Spotify ACQUIRED Parcast. (2) There are many ways for a show to become profitable; lack of profitability ≠ lack of quality. (3) We had MANY, LOYAL listeners, yet very little insight on them. Maybe water your garden instead of just burning it.

Mallory taught me so much about this industry. Whether it’s explaining complex mysteries or fighting for DEIA funding, she pours her heart into everything she does, and I strove to match that energy.

“Brilliant” doesn’t begin to describe Amin. He breathed new life into long-running shows and made the editing process SO fun.

Sarah’s smart, insightful, and a gem to work with. She ~got~ what I tried to do with my writing, took my wacky ideas in stride, and helped polish them until they shone. I hope someone else gets to benefit from her skills very soon!

My beloved Nat Cat! I’m so lucky that Spotify/Parcast brought us together. If you need a writer & editor who can easily spot logical flaws and maintain a clear voice, look no further than Natty P.

News reports say that @ParcastNetwork and @Gimletmedia are “merging,” but don’t get it twisted—our studios have been CUT. Most of us are laid off. Chart-topping shows that we poured our minds and hearts into are cancelled.

I can’t overstate how incredible of a writer Caris is. She always brought an open heart and critical eye to our true crime content. Editing her scripts was a breeze.
