🎶A modern music folklore podcast hosted by Alaska Reid and featuring a wide range of interviewees. I’ve been with Alaska for the last 6 years, so I’ve really witnessed and learned a lot from her dedication to songwriting. She’s also a human can-opener, extracting golden nuggets while discussing her guests’ rawest demos. There’s a new, extremely thorough episode with Gus from Kero Kero Bonito, someone else who I’ve known for a long time, and it’s special to hear such a sincere conversation in an otherwise opaque online world. Her episode with Lauren Mayberry is also particularly direct and touches on a lot of things that musicians don’t often talk about.

🍕Deceptively named, this is a podcast devoted to the Los Angeles food scene (“food scene”, good I’m already being annoying). In fact, it’s been difficult for me to curate this list because all of my selections would be food and wine related if I weren’t challenging myself to appear “multi-faceted” even though I’m simply not. I do, essentially, only want to eat and drink wine. Which is why I love this podcast! Jordan Okun and Max Shapiro, the hosts, are two very cool dudes with exceptional taste and opinions I trust. Plus every episode starts with a clip of a song I’ve never heard which I instantly add to one of my playlists—because I also enjoy music! Because I’m multi-faceted!

It’s a way to transcend time and to be connected to people in your family you feel you might not easily relate to because of the generational divide, especially if they’ve passed. It’s a look into their genuine interests and personality, especially if they’ve annotated in the margins. The ability to do this is valuable if you can. I think it builds or strengthens empathy, and gives you a stronger foundation for appreciating your family history. Not to mention you’ll likely get an interesting reading experience out of it. The (+) is for great-grandparents and beyond.

📺I grew up with a small TV in our kitchen and thought the added element of visual entertainment made kitchen activities better than they might have been otherwise. I use an iPad these days with a stand that I can move around as well as an adhesive wall mount. It makes dish washing and cooking a thousand times more bearable even if I’m not paying as much attention to what’s on the screen. There’s also something really cozy about it being small.
