    July 20th | What’s going on in Portland?

    An excellent question with not nearly enough answers. Where do you get your local news (other than us, of course)? And as pandemic summer drags on, what TV should you be watching?

  • caption: This week, Eula Scott Bynoe and Jeannie Yandel talk to Emily Schwing about why she quit the Northwest News Network — and why she decided to go public with that information.

    Ready to go public about why you quit? Listen to this first

    On our fifth bonus episode of Battle Tactics for Your Sexist Workplace, we talk to journalist Emily Schwing. You may notice that there's no audio here. That's because our bonus episodes are available to listeners who support BTSW and our home station, KUOW, with a one-time contribution of $20.

  • caption: Celeste Headlee talks about how freelancing has given her control over her schedule, insight into her own work habits, and the freedom to take risks.

    'I'm the best boss I've ever had.' Lessons from Celeste Headlee on freelancing

    This week, public radio legend Celeste Headlee tells us why she loves the freedom that comes with being her own boss — and why freelancing isn’t for everyone. Whether you’re a freelancer (Eula), live with a freelancer (Jeannie), or are freelance-curious, this episode is a must-listen. (And, honestly, since Headlee has so many valuable insights into how humans work best, this episode will resonate with everyone.)

    Many of us have watched “The Office” and laughed/cringed at the antics of Michael Scott, a horrible boss who believes — wholeheartedly, even sometimes charmingly — that he is the world’s best boss. The jokes are funny because they hit close to home, reminding us of bosses we’ve had who were incompetent or inappropriate or willing to throw anyone else under the bus in order to succeed. But we have to wonder: how do men like Michael Scott get promoted in the first place? And why have so many of us had incompetant bosses?
