Daryn Slover/Sun Journal LEWISTON — Last week, Christine Berry was sitting through a series of job interviews, part of a team effort to find a replacement for the position she’s held for the past decade. As she readies to retire after 35 years in the field of behavioral health, she said its bittersweet.

(The Hill) – A Republican candidate running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania is planning to run a campaign ad featuring chants of “Let’s go Brandon” during the Super Bowl on Sunday. The ad from candidate David McCormick features text highlighting issues that have hindered the Biden administration including the U.S. military exit from Afghanistan and rising inflation against an audio backdrop of crowds chanting “Let’s go Brandon.” The controversial phrase was made popular by conservatives and supporters of former President Trump and is meant to be an insult toward President Biden. McCormick told Fox News, who was first to report on the ad, that the purpose was to highlight “self-inflicted” problems that have plagued the Biden administration in the last year. “Whether it’s not being able to afford gas or groceries because of record-high inflation, rampant crime in our cities, a dramatic spike in the trafficking of fentanyl and human exploitation across open borders,  » Read More

MICHEL MARTIN, HOST: And finally today, a key chapter in the origin story of Africans in America took place over water. Historians estimate that some 36,000 ships brought nearly 12.5 million Africans across the Atlantic Ocean, according to the Transatlantic Slave Trade Database. But not all survived. Somewhere between 500 and 1,000 ships are believed to have wrecked, but only a handful have been found and documented. This is according to Tara Roberts of a new podcast from National Geographic called "Into The Depths." She not only follows a group of Black divers, historians and archaeologists as they try to recover as much as they can of that lost chapter. She decides to become one of them. (SOUNDBITE OF PODCAST, "INTO THE DEPTHS") TARA ROBERTS: Through these ships, we could bring lost stories up from the depths and back into collective memory. Just as important, it was a way to help me understand my roots, my own family's history and where I and we belong as Black Americans right now. MARTIN: Tara Roberts is executive producer of "Into The Depths," and she is with us now to tell us more about it.  » Read More

In February 2021, Clubhouse reached a peak of nearly 10 million monthly downloads, with users clawing to join the invite-only social audio platform. Yet Clubhouse’s meteoric rise was accompanied by an equally eye-popping plummet. By April 2021, the app was downloaded only 900,000 times that month. Some experts have started to question whether the future of social audio is as bright as it seemed a year ago—or, whether, social audio is destined to be no more than a “supplementary feature” on a platform like  Discord or Twitter, rather than a dedicated, standalone platform.   The pandemic as a breeding ground for social audio growth.  How can we make sense of the rise and fall of social audio over the past year? By many accounts, the pandemic created a breeding ground for the growth of social audio.  » Read More
