Hi! Thanks for landing here.

I’m Chali (SHAH-lee). I’m a Madison-based journalist and have spent the better part of a decade leading radio teams. I’m most at home in the gentle work of curiosity: paging through agendas, knocking on doors, and finding what fits a pattern.

If you have a tip or something to say, please reach out. My inbox is open at chalipittman@gmail.com. I used to tell reporters to pick up the damn phone — so feel free to get in touch through a call or text (hover here): 608-616-2240

What is this website?

This is a playground. It’s a #WIP, a work in progress. It’s a hub to keep the things worth remembering, instead of in a cloud, in an app, or scattered across the winds of the internet.
