as one of the inaugural fellows in last year's cohort, I can attest that this is a vital offering. As a writer, I especially enjoyed learning from the podcast journalists. Whether you're telling stories in religion or environment, this fellowship is all about cross-pollination. twitter.com/Meeratweets/st…
