End of an era. Flash Forward was a singular thing.
And no single journalist more heavily influenced my approach to pandemic coverage than Rose.

... how she eschewed easy technocratic solutions to complex problems; how she centered disabled, queer, POC, and other marginalized voices; and perhaps most importantly, how she maintained a core of hope even when talking about the bleakest futures. 2/3
She did all that, and for most of Flash Forward's life, she did it *single-handedly*, without the production crews that many popular podcasts have.
She's an inspiration, and a dear, dear friend. I can't wait to see what she does next. 3/3

PS. If you're new to Rose, there's so much Flash Forward back-catalogue to catch up on, and you can also buy her book. flashforwardpod.com/book/
PPS. I'd also recommend these two great interviews about how Rose sees the world and thinks about her work.

PPPS. And I hope that Rose finally takes this opportunity to think about that one future we have always talked about where she takes a little nap. Just a short one.
