Monday we announced that I am leaving #NPRShortWave in the fall. I am overwhelmed with the outpouring of love from our listeners and the support of my teammates. This isn't a decision I made lightly, but it's the best decision for my mental health and my family. It's hard to express what the #NPRShortWave team means to me. They are my friends, supporters, and most reliable critics. They had faith in me when I did not. They ARE the show... and that's why it’s so damn good. And why it is so hard to leave.
