Any #FutureForwardPod listeners have any idea what's up with the pod?
#StevenRosenbaum and #BobGarfield dropped the most recent episode on 2 Nov 2024, with nary a peep about WTF has happened since.
Bob has apparently relocated to Eastern Europe best I can tell. Both post infrequently on the Shitter site.
Emails enquiring as to disposition and status have gone unanswered.
If there's an announcement I've missed, please share.
Boosts appreciated

I wish #BobGarfield hadn’t been fired as well, and when he was, I immediately started following him on Twitter; I’m just waiting for him to show-up here on a host that’s not just a Twitter mirror.
But I still think that this show is one of the absolute finest ever to be broadcast in my lifetime, right up there with “Monitor”, “Omnibus”, the original ‘50s “Dragnet” and “Suspense”.
On the Media has joined Mastodon
"OTM" to its fans, and foes, along with numerous other journalists at https://journa.host
I'm less enthused about the programme / podcast than I'd been, #BobGarfield's absence is felt deeply, and the circumstances of the separation tarnish OTM, its host and editor (Brooke and Katya) especially. But it's still worth listening to, though not always as it once was, something I say as a decades-long follower.
This week features two episodes one a mid-week short, the other the weekly full session, on Mastodon and the Twitter meltdown generally, respectively. The first episode is an expanded version of the segment on Mastodon w/ in the weekly show.
Short: "Mastodon: The Platform Taking Twitter's Worn and Weary"

As usual, there should be transcripts up by mid-next week (the 23rd or so).
OTM on Mastodon: @onthemedia
The ... no longer uniformly excellent ex-Garfield ... On the Media nontheless does have an extremely good episode on libraries, books, lending (digital and otherwise), the Internet Archive's Open Library, and more:
Infinite Scroll

A transcript should appear by mid-week for those preferring text to audio.

And for the textuallly-inclined:
[D]ue to certain circumstances, situations, events, misfortunes and all kinds of converging mishegas (some highly juicy details forthcoming), but the bottom line is: Bully Pulpit, the Podcast, is dead.
Listen now | Bob Garfield has cast broadly and podly for a long time ... and now for the last time.
The 60-Year Coup, Part 2

It Wasn't Me, It Was My Dog
Bob talks with Princeton scholar Orestis Papakyriakopoulos about the social media titan’s latest assault on transparency, and the all-too-familiar blame-shifting that followed it. That has become standard operating procedure from a company Bob describes as “amoral, except when it’s immoral.”
