The Martin Bashir show is on Twitter, and we want you to follow us!
Of course, there is our show account—@BashirLive—but there are also several members of the team with Twitter accounts worth following.
You can find us all on this Twitter list, but here’s a little something to introduce you to our team members and what they’re tweeting about:
@schoetz – Executive ProducerI’ve worked in newspapers (Cape Cod Times, Boston Globe), digital (ABCNews.com, nydailynews.com), and broadcast (ABC News Nightline and now msnbc). My Twitter interests include, but are not limited to, my hometown of Boston, politics, sport and scandal. I also keep a running pictorial of the classic cars of Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

@ginafellows66 – DirectorI’ve been a television director for 14 years, 9 of which have been at msnbc. Working on the Martin Bashir show has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had here. I’m proud to be a part of our daily broadcasts, covering the issues that matter most to me from gun control to women’s health and reproductive rights.
After directing @BashirLive segment on Trayvon's parents, I'm going home and hug my son extra tight tonight. I can't imagine their grief.

@thatnyshie – Segment ProducerFormerly of CNN, Fox News (yes, Fox) and most importantly, Viet Nam News, where I honed punning skills and taught reporters about the proper translation of manure (it is not a four-letter word beginning with “s”). Because I spent a couple of years overseas, and speak Spanglish, I like to think of myself as an expert in foreign affairs. I also have a Master’s in creative writing, which I’m putting to use co-writing the musical Two Minutes to Carney with @MrJohnFlowers. I live in Greenpoint, Brooklyn but do not watch Girls or The Newsroom because I can’t afford HBO.
OMG. Spray tan sprinklers? RT @realDonaldTrump: Today I am working on my 'big surprise' for the @RNC convention. Everyone will love it.

@MrJohnFlowers – Segment ProducerI spent the bulk of my career in print, at Time magazine and Dow Jones Newswires, before falling backwards into a TV gig at CNBC. There, I wrote a personal finance show (a source of deep irony). I began segment producing for msnbc in September 2011, writing about politics and the economy for NOW with Alex Wagner and, now, Martin Bashir.

@noelmhartman – Segment ProducerFormerly of ABC News and Bloomberg TV. Born in Philadelphia, resident of Brooklyn. Lover of dead languages, live television and U.S. politics, from the New Deal to the present. Form is emptiness, emptiness form.

@michelleambrown – Line ProducerBorn in Jersey, grew up in Jamaica (the island), moved to the states for college, temporarily living in Jamaica (Queens). I ditched my old PR/Marketing job in Miami for the bright studio lights in NYC, and got my start as an intern over at theGrio. Three-and-a-half years later, and a couple more stints in the building, I’m now the line producer for Martin Bashir. I cook (almost) everything with scotch bonnet peppers, I bake, I love a good book, and I wish I was a better dancer.
Live for something higher, bigger and better than you. #yogiwisdom

@goayango – Associate ProducerI began my time in news as a bright-eyed intern for Martin Bashir two years ago and have worked my way up to a slightly-grizzled, but still bright-eyed, producer. I’m also an amateur filmmaker/photographer, avid consumer of trashy reality TV, and obsessive beachgoer.
Gonna try and become a twitter celebrity.

@meaghancorzine – Graphics ProducerBefore joining Team Bashir as a graphics producer, I worked as a dayside anchor producer for NewsNation, Andrea Mitchell Reports, and The Cycle. Prior to working at msnbc during the summer of 2012, I produced short local stories for the New York area. Aside from the ever-evolving world of politics, I’m an avid fan of live music and strong espresso.
The NBC commissary really tastes like royalty some days…

@traciglee – Digital ProducerFormerly of NPR News and Education Week. Before joining the Martin Bashir team, I worked as a multimedia producer at msnbc.com, involved in reporting for the web and video production for msnbc prime time (from Hardball with Chris Matthews to The Rachel Maddow Show). I write/rant about education, AAPI issues, equality, and social media/technology. I think I’m funnier than I actually am, so sorry about that.
