Prime Day Comes but Once a Year

In this episode, Shannon Palus talks about the journalistic ethics of Amazon affiliate links with Jacqui Cheng, former Editor-in-Chief of Wirecutter and current Editor-in-Chief of Music at WQXR in New York.

After the interview, Shannon talks to Aaron Mak for this week’s edition of Don’t Close My tabs.
