On academia, public radio, and critical listening:
A few months ago, I wrote a blog post about working in academia and public media simultaneously. If you're curious about what skills and insights I've gained from these dual roles, take a look at the post here.
I plan to do more writing on this topic soon, since it's becoming more and more important to me during my second year as a production assistant.
(By the way, this was before the mandate of "listen more" became a post-election public radio cliche, which I think makes this piece interesting to reread now.)
