The 10 Weekly Newsletter, June 2, 2023

Which is why I’m not going to tell you who won “Succession,” nor how AFC Richmond fared in the “Ted Lasso” finale — though, truth be told, I haven’t even watched the latter yet, so I don’t actually know. NPR learned their lesson the hard way, as you’ll see below, when 40 years ago it apologized on-air for broadcasting plot details to “The Return of the Jedi.” (Again backpedaling, I have heard NPR TV critic Eric Deggans openly discuss spoilers, so maybe that lesson didn’t sink in.) We don’t do a lot of fundraising in this space, but I do want to let you know that all our content — this newsletter, our daily local reporting, High School Quiz Show, national news from NPR and more — is supported by members as our single largest funding source. If we brighten your day, inform you about what’s happening in the world or teach you something new, please consider supporting our work. Cheers!
