Well, I just heard the following brilliant<\/em> news from TSWI:<\/p>\n

“November 6th marks the rebirth of The State We\u2019re In: The Podcast, produced every other week by Jonathan Groubert and WBEZ 91.5.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In my opinion,\u00a0The State We\u2019re In\u00a0<\/em>represents\u00a0some of the best radio documentary out there:\u00a0TSWI<\/em>\u00a0has won international honors, including three New York World Medals in 2010, awards at the\u00a02013 New York Festivals<\/a>,\u00a0as well as a Gabriel. Ira Glass, the talented host of Chicago Public Media\u2019s\u00a0This American Life<\/a>, has praised\u00a0TSWI<\/em>\u00a0for its \u201camazing editorial judgment,\u201d and Glass rightly called\u00a0TSWI<\/em>\u00a0host Jonathan Groubert \u201cone of the best news interviewers on public radio today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t believe me? Listen to some of their\u00a0archived shows<\/a>, like\u00a0Two Enemies, One Heart<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0 Powerful stuff.<\/p>\n

I will be the first to subscribe to TSWI<\/em>‘s podcast. \u00a0As soon as the RSS feed becomes available, I will post it here.<\/p>\n
