🐝 Yellowjackets podcast 🐝 / 2022 Updates
Something fun to start the year, and a preview of where we're going next
Happy New Year!
I’m excited about the work we have coming in the next few months, including stories of catastrophe and radicalization, the pandemic’s effect on the chronically ill and disabled, Baltimore homicide rates, and much more.
Let’s hope 2022 leaves the pandemic in the rearview—though current caseloads indicate that’s going to take some time.
While you wait for the latest Covid surge to run its course, please enjoy the below podcast episode on the new show Yellowjackets I did last night with writers Tanvi Misra and Maya Kosoff. We chatted about the season so far and our theories about what’s going to happen next.
Some changes will be coming to The Flashpoint this year, including a paywall on certain content.
This has been a difficult decision for me, but the pace of reporting I’ve been doing is not sustainable without corresponding subscriptions.
So while this is still in development, here’s roughly what the newsletter will look like once things get ironed out:
One-two paywalled reported feature a week
One-two free newsletters with light reporting/podcasts a week
Occasional reported features that have already been paid for by other means, such as work I’ve been contracted to do (more on these stories to come)
In the interest of getting as many of you who are not paid subscribers on board as possible, I’ve extended the 20% off annual subscription another month. It now goes until February 1.
