Jessica helped me so much! Just feeling comfortable on air with my voice. She never tried to change my sound, just helped me to confidently sound like myself. This is a huge loss for NPR.

This is a huge loss for NPR. Audie is an excellent journalist and host, who I’m constantly in awe of. She’s also so kind and generous with her time and insights. Wishing you all the best, friend!

Co-hosting NPR’s live coverage of the House Select Committee hearing at 9:30 am ET today. And because I like to provide a range of content, you can also check out my interview with Emilia Clarke for @NPRItsBeenAMin that’s out today!

I'm proud to be part of NPR's yearly reading of the Declaration of Independence. But those words, at that time, did not apply to my family, my ancestors. The Emancipation Proclamation did. Today, we read the text on @MorningEdition . Thank you @nprkyoung .
