Launched Sept 2020 in Podnews, NPR ends localised versions of the Consider This podcast this week, which they claimed at the time was the "first localised daily news podcast". Localisation "did not prove sustainable", said a spokesperson; Current reports that the production process wasn't scalable; audiences didn't value it much anyway; and NPR is moving to Megaphone which means the use of different tools. Consider This continues, with national content
Your News Now, an Australian podcast with "news and weather for your location", was launched in May; while dynamic audio tool Spooler, launched in March 2022, is readying additional features. On a recent episode, The Accidental Tech Podcast discussed their current sponsorship situation and the importance of membership. Their revenue is "super down this year" because they don't wish to offer Dai nor join an ad network.

On Monday morning, the Food and Drug Administration (Fda) granted full approval to the first Covid-19 vaccine — a significant milestone in the ongoing fight to end the pandemic. Eight months after issuing Emergency Use Authorization (Eua) to the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine, followed by millions of shots in arms across the United States and other parts of the world, the Fda gave their final and highest stamp of approval to the two-dose vaccination for people 16 and up.

President Donald Trump’s proposed new budget again calls for all but eliminating funding for public media, but it’s highly unlikely that will happen.
This is the fourth year in a row the White House has called for slashing funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides funding to public TV stations, PBS and NPR. Past proposals have been stopped in Congress, which sets budget levels for federal agencies. Even when Republicans held both chambers of Congress, lawmakers kept public media funding at its current level, roughly $445 million.
The White House’s proposed Fiscal Year 2021 budget would scale back discretionary funding across the board while increasing military spending. The amount allocated for public media would be reduced to just $30 million. Public media advocates say that the Cpb funding is especially essential for small- and medium- sized stations, the loss of which would threaten the structure of the PBS network.

Update, with Trump Campaign video President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign team has wasted little time using the Don Lemon “Boomer Rube” moment to stir up support. In a mash-up video that combines footage of the CNN segment with clips from The Hunger Games, Team Trump juxtaposes Lemon with the unctuous purple-haired TV host played in the film by Stanley Tucci.
Watch it below.
“Liberal ‘elites’ in The Capitol ruling class look down on the people,” says the message accompanying the tweeted clip. “They laugh at you. They mock you. They think you don’t matter. Let’s prove them wrong on November 3rd.”
Last night, Lemon addressed why he was laughing during the CNN segment over the weekend that Trump’s allies have seized upon as an example of how the media elite mocks and belittles Trump supporters.
On his show Tuesday, Lemon said, “I don’t believe in belittling people,...

President Donald Trump praised Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for testy remarks to NPR host and reporter Mary Louise Kelly, telling him, “I think you did a good job on her, actually.”
At a White House ceremony with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump noted the presence of Pompeo and said, “That was very impressive. That reporter couldn’t have done too good a job on you yesterday. I think you did a good job on her, actually.”
Most reporters took Trump’s comment as having to do with NPR host Mary Louise Kelly’s interview with Pompeo on Friday, not Monday. Pompeo abruptly ended that interview as Kelly pressed him on when he specifically defended Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine who was recalled from her post last spring.
After the interview ended, Kelly said, he glared at her for a moment and left the room. One...

“Boomer Rube”: Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump Seize On Don Lemon Segment In Latest Attack On Media Elite
Few days go by without President Donald Trump and his supporters showing some sense of outrage toward the so-called “media elites.” But even Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, is joining in condemning a CNN segment on Saturday in which Don Lemon cannot contain his laughter as guests Rick Wilson and Wajahat Ali mocked the president’s “boomer rube” supporters.
The three were discussing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s post-interview outburst at NPR host Mary Louise Kelly, in which he challenged her to identify Ukraine on a blank map. Wilson said it was Trump who wouldn’t be able to find it on a map even if “you had the letter U and a picture of an actual physical crane next to it.”
“That is part of them playing to their base, playing to their audience, the credulous boomer rube demo that backs Donald Trump,” Wilson said, as Lemon burst out laughing.

An NPR reporter who had been scheduled to travel on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s trip to Europe and Central Asia this week was removed from the press pool, an action that a journalists’ group claims is retaliation against the network over NPR hosts Mary Louise Kelly’s recent interview with Pompeo.
Shaun Tandon, president of the State Department Correspondents Association, said in a statement that reporter Michele Kelemen was in rotation as the radio pool reporter but was removed. He noted that it “comes days after Secretary Pompeo harshly criticized the work of an NPR host. We can only conclude that the State Department is retaliating against National Public Radio as a result of this exchange.”
He added, “The State Department press corps has a long tradition of accompanying secretaries of state on their travels and we find it unacceptable to punish an individual member of our association.

After a conservative radio host questioned the mere existence of NPR, President Trump confirmed that notion, writing, “A very good question!”
Mark Levin, a bomb-throwing Trump sycophant, who is both a conservative radio and Fox News host, tweeted out an anti-npr statement in the aftermath of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s ornery interview with an NPR national security reporter on Friday. The president took Levin’s tweet as an opportunity to champion a cause that he’s pushed for in the past, the defunding of NPR.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday accused NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly of violating “basic rules of journalism and decency” regarding a contentious interview and its aftermath.
On Friday, Pompeo abruptly ended his interview with Kelly after she pressed him on why he had not specifically defended former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, who was recalled from her post last spring. “I’ve defended every single person on this team,” Pompeo said.
In a statement issued via the State Department on Saturday, Pompeo said, “NPR reporter Mary Louise Kelly lied to me, twice. First, last month, in setting up our interview and, then again yesterday, in agreeing to have our post-interview conversation off the record. It is shameful that this reporter chose to violate the basic rules of journalism and decency.”
After the interview ended, Kelly said that she thanked Pompeo, and he glared at her before leaving the room.

Following a testy interview, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo dropped F-bombs at an interviewer and also questioned her knowledge about the region she was asking him about.
NPR National Security Reporter Mary Louise Kelly pressed Pompeo on Friday about whether he owed the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, an apology for the way she was mistreated by the Trump administration.
Pompeo was irritated right away, annoyed that the topic of Ukraine was brought up in the first place, saying, “You know, I agreed to come on your...
