Things I think are valuable, usually things I’ve discovered on the internet, fun links, etc.

Podcast Rec :: Record Club

Remember a few weeks ago (or was it months now, who can tell?) when I recommended the podcast, Mortified? Well, I stumbled upon the musical version of this. No, not in that embarrassing teen issues are done in musical form,…

Podcast Rec :: Giving it Up for Less

Meet my new best friend, Lauren Ash*.   Do you watch Superstore? Do you know the character Dina? THAT”s her, and she’s awesome.   The tagline is “the podcast about oversharing” and it sure delivers. This is one of those…

Podcast Red :: Bloody Murder

Bloody Murder is both true crime and comedy. Join hosts Tara Sariban and Barney Black as they cover murder stories with humor and their great Australian accents.  They cover Australian cases mostly, but they do also cover other cases from…

Podcast Rec :: Everything is Alive

This one is a little wacky and I love it. The premise is that in each episode an inanimate object is interviewed about their experiences. The interviewer (and producer) is Ian Chillag and he’s great. If you ever wanted to…

This recommendation isn’t going to be for everyone. But I’m really trying not to do all True Crime, LOL. Come to think of it, one might consider this crime. Anyway, the Rabbit Hole is about how the YouTube algorithm (suggesting…

Podcast Rec :: The Mortified Podcast

Today’s recommendation is The Mortified Podcast. I haven’t recommended a flat out comedy one yet and this one fills the bill. It’s made up of recordings of people sharing their inner most (usually teen) thoughts. Folks read from their diaries;…

Podcast Rec :: The Truth

I’ve been thinking about podcast recommendations lately and there are just so many good ones. Hopefully, I will get to all my favorites. But I’m also trying to rotate between my favorite genres: True Crime, Interviews, Horror, Radio Drama, Self-help/Education,…

Podcast Recommendation :: Code Switch

This week I’m going to recommend the podcast, Code Switch. It’s published by NPR. I feel more and more these days like I need to educate myself. I know there are books to read but I’m more of a listener…
