When I was growing up, my best friend and I would hang out and host pretend NPR broadcasts. (On our version of Morning Edition, she was Linda Wertheimer, and I was Robert Siegel.)

The chance to be in an episode of This American Life is beyond anything I could have imagined for myself as a kid.

Grateful to @caseynewton for helping me tell this love story for trust and safety. To my friends and colleagues in internet sanitation: I hope I’ve done you proud.

What I Was Thinking As We Were Sinking - This American Life

It's funny the things that go through your head during a disaster.

@yoyoel @caseynewton absolutely love your words at the end about loving the Internet, how wonderful a thing it is we've made, and the work to make it less dangerous.

You have our collective heartfelt thanks for everything you've done to make the Internet safer for so many, and for having to weather the storms and the abuse.

Great episode, great storytelling!
