🎙️ As a bonus, don’t miss the latest Creators Talk Podcast with the multi-talented Tonya Mosley, co-host of NPR’s Fresh Air!
NPR’s Fresh Air is celebrating its 50th anniversary this month and remains the #1 ranked book podcast in the world (Not a big deal). In our conversation, Tonya shares about her upbringing in Detroit, her career in journalism, the art of storytelling, investigative reporting, books/stories she loves and her powerful series ‘She Has A Name’, plus much more.
Highlighted Quotes for Conversation with Tonya:
On Telling Brave Stories
"The truth is, we are all walking around with stories that can save someone else. We just have to be brave enough to tell them."
On Reading
"Every author pushes my worldview. Books find us when we need them the most. They are not just stories; they are survival guides disguised as narratives.”
"Reading is like breathing for me. Like it's not optional, it's essential"
On Media Literacy and Discernment
"We are in a very interesting time where you can’t take anything at face value. You have to be extremely discerning and skeptical. You should be skeptical of all media [Even us at NPR]. You should read with discernment and ask yourself questions while reading."
On Storytelling & Journalism
"Journalism is not just about finding the truth; it’s about finding the courage to live with that truth and what it reveals for us."
