🎧 Episode 045 – Tania Rashid, Global identity and becoming a “one-woman-shop” in journalism | Media and the End of the World Podcast
Ralph chats with Tania Rashid, a freelance journalist in South Asia. I’ve produced and hosted for Al Jazeera English, CNN International, and Vice News.
I love Rashid’s take on modern journalism, particularly getting rid of words like “fixer”. There’s an excellent reminder here that I need to broaden some of my news consumption to take a more international approach. I loved that they asked her the question about what sources she reads/watches/listens to.

The narrative fallacy is that past events prefigure the future. It is especially common in biographies, where the subject’s early life is reduced down to a collection of events that suggest that their future path was obvious, if you only knew how to look. It ignores all the other people who did almost the same thing, and ended up somewhere else entirely.

Notes
Companion from the Latin con meaning “with” and pan meaning “bread”. I know I’ve contemplated this word before, but it does have a whole new warmth when framed in this way.
That is what beer originally was for. Preserving the calories in grains that might otherwise be wasted.
Toast Ale – a beer brand made from left over bread and grains.
Recommendation: Jeremy Cherfas may appreciate this particular episode.
Directed by Adam Shankman. A new foreign exchange student enrolls at McKinley High and crashes with Brittany, who thinks he's a leprechaun.
I’ve been researching all evening on some IndieWeb ideas as they relate to education. I’ll continue early tomorrow with IndieWebCamp New Haven, where I’ll be thinking and tinkering more with DoOO, SPLOTs, books, OER, and related topics.
Remote attendance is still a possibility for those interested.

I keep thinking of new and creative ways to use Huffduffer. If you haven’t heard of it, or used it, let me explain what it does. It’s a service that creates a personal podcast feed out of audio links you add to it.
Karin mentions a lot of great material here that isn’t always obvious about how one an use Huffduffer. The one thing she didn’t mention was what her handle on the service is so others can follow her or some of the discovery related uses of Huffduffer.
While most of my readers will see all of my Huffduffer activity here on my own site, you can also follow all of my audio bookmarking there as well if you wish.
