It’s nice not to have to decide what music is going to set the tone for your day. I just throw on NPR and let news wash over me, since I’m typically too tired to really pay attention but awake enough that I get what’s going on. And now I regularly say “well, I heard on NPR that [insert either local news or random science fact]”
it features different kinds of podcasts every day n ive learned so many fun (and ofc less fun) things about the world, my city, culture etc! a great substitute for when i get that social media itch
i’ve been listening to KCRW at work, the local LA station. i like NPR morning edition & the music show ‘morning becomes eclectic’
cool female djs, new music recs, it helps pace the day!
i know this is specifically for recs, but sometimes it’s fun to go into something blind! going to argentina tomorrow and i have no plans and haven’t asked a single person for a recommendation, just raw doggin vacation
I have friends all over the place and it’s not enough to just like their shit on social media, it’s good to call every couple of months and just have a life check in.
