I'll take Heartwarming Media Posts for $1000, Alex. Remember how everyone screamed when the New York Times turned its sports department into something called the Athletic? Well, the Athletic has just hired the cream of the Washington Post sports department, who were fired earlier this month.
If you're anywhere in the area, don't miss this! It's a great piece and I'm really looking forward to it.
Congratulations to the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which managed to upstage the flaming dumpster fire that is the Kennedy Center in the collective mind of the classical music world this Friday by dismissing its very fine music director, Andris Nelsons. Can't wait to hear the back story.

Which of these have you read? Which should I read? The Director is already on my list, and The Nights Are Quiet in Tehran sounds promising. Taiwan Travelogue also piques my interest. Your thoughts? #bookerprize #novels #worldliterature

It’s mortifying to be scrambling to fill a bookstore event but that’s the reality. I’m in Scotland and England next week. There are tix left for these events. The London one will be cancelled if I don’t sell some tickets soon so all pre-bookings and help with getting the word out is appreciated.
