This is it, 10 days left.

Over this past weekend I was at a gathering of amazing, inspiring public radio producers. It was such a joy to be among friends -- friends who understand how much courage it took to walk away from one of the best jobs in journalism, and friends who believe, like I do, that it's time for brave journalists to find a new way.

While there, NPR's Planet Money correspondent Robert Smith interviewed me on why I walked away, where I'm going with DecodeDC, and why I turned to Kickstarter as the tool to get me there. Here's part one of that interview. Post it, forward it, show it to your Mom. And don't wait -- we've got 10 days left to make this happen. Thank you.

Warmly, Andrea
