Good morning, everyone.<\/p>\n

I probably won\u2019t be the only person re-listening to Dolly Parton\u2019s America<\/a> this week. All of the posts I read about her last night painted such an angelic, political, strong image of her life and work. And she arrived at her convictions through such a Golden Rule type of kindness. <\/p>\n

And RIP Tim Curry. I\u2019m due for a Muppet Treasure Island re-watch.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s letter includes: I spoke to Lauren Kassan (co-founder of The Wing) about her new business school for kids, WSA\u2019s fitness instructor exodus, a Glossier alum\u2019s new fragrance brand, discounted tickets to the US Open (courtesy of the USTA and our sports-loving mayor), and another print journalist pivots to a video podcast.<\/p>\n

NYT culture reporter (actors, directors, movies, festivals, awards) Kyle Buchanan is leaving the Times to start a new video podcast series.<\/a> I always enjoyed his Oscars coverage. It feels like we\u2019re going to be seeing lots of this – print journalists moving into exclusively audio-video spaces. It\u2019s interesting that one of the things Buchanan mentions in his comments is that subjects want to have longer conversations – a thing that can obviously happen in audio\/video and even some magazines still, but just can\u2019t happen in a newspaper profile. I wonder if Buchanan expressed a desire to do this show at the Times, \u00e0 la Popcast, and was turned down or if it was always a project that needed to be outside the Times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good morning, everyone.
