Bill Siemering -- a public radio trailblazer -- was interviewed for NYTimes on the potential cuts to public broadcasting. In 2003, he wrote a manifesto for Transom about what he’s learned in his first 50 years, and preparing us for the next 50. transom.org/2003/bill-siem…
Scientists took the stage last month to tell their stories to a crowd of community members. The room was filled with warmth and awe. Listen to the stories and read all about the night. transom.org/2025/making-wa… exchange.prx.org/series/53864-m…
On the latest @soundschoolpod, @_RobRosenthal hands the mic over to Sally Herships and @zachthemack to discuss the making of Alternate Realities. Prepare for conspiracy theories and polarizing family disagreements. @NPREmbedded transom.org/2025/asking-da…
Poetry, truth, and surrender to the unknown... it's all in the latest newsletter over on Substack! substack.com/home/post/p-16…
“My radio friends think of poetry as something I do on the side. My poet friends think of radio as how I make a living.” Sometimes the two sides obstruct each other. Often they mirror each other. Read about how Sean Cole is navigating that complexity. transom.org/2025/my-own-ve…
How is a radio station like a musical instrument? @stevejunkerWCAI has the answer on the latest @soundschoolpod and it's not what you think: bit.ly/44Qtrez

In our series “Audio Ancestors,” Julia Barton has profiled radio folks who helped create formats we use all the time now...and not everyone shows up on the mic. Erik Barnouw's approach to writing is up next: transom.org/2025/audio-anc…
We had an amazing time with all the scientist-storytellers at our "Making Waves" 3-day workshop in Woods Hole and can't wait for tonight's SOLD OUT onstage storytelling slam hosted by Jay Allison with music by @CarlaKihlstedt!
Next month, Transom’s lead teacher David Weinberg, along with guest speaker Sarah Koenig from @serial, will teach a one-of-a-kind workshop with the Berlin School of Podcasting. If you’re interested, reach out to [email protected]
Leila Fadel's stories from Syria after the fall of Assad are essential listening. And, as Rob notes in this episode of The Sound School Podcast, the way Leila effortlessly braids together scenes, stand ups, and narration is top notch: transom.org/2025/writing-p…
Congratulations to David! Ten years ago this week he taught me, "just do the work." He has a special radioheart.
Huge congrats to Transom teacher David Weinberg who was recognized today at #Tribeca2025 for his new show "American Explorer" -- an #TribecaAudio official selection! What a great event (hosted by Transom alum @catchatweetdown)!

Our friends at audio mag @signalhillfm are making cool work under a novel premise. In their Transom Manifesto, indie co-founders @jacksonwroach & @liza_yeager offer up new ways of approaching audio production: transom.org/2025/climbing-…
Instead of "Last time on (insert name of podcast)", try something else. On the latest @soundschoolpod, Rob spotlights the way writer and reporter @basialcummings avoided the "last time" trope in "Pig Iron." @tortoise @prx transom.org/2025/writing-p…
