I regularly blogged at IPE@UNC (2008-13), The Fair Jilt (2013-15), and Duck of Minerva (2014-18). I had an award-winning Twitter account (@whinecough) with several thousand followers, but I temporarily deactivated it and then Elon nuked it (I don’t mind).
I am occasionally interviewed, such as this hour-long radio spot for Indiana Public Media on the 2021 debt-ceiling fight, and this 2021 television spot on WISH-TV Indianapolis on Trump’s 2nd Impeachment. Most links to media appearances seem to be dead.
I do write for non-academic audiences when I have something to say, often translating research findings to lay audiences and/or applying them to current events situations:

In a previous life I did culture commentary and criticism for a variety of independent publications, including Bandoppler (Contributing editor, co-owner), Fine Print (Managing Editor), and a lot of free-lance places including Hit List, HM, Jacks57, and media local to where I was living at those times. I have also moonlighted as a disc jockey, and spent time as a recording and touring musician.
