Heavy rotation- middlebrow, nymphet alumni, hlg, guess the year, baseball tonight (really covering all the bases here)
Recently finished articles of interests' series on Prep and loved it. Will always rec Tiga's First/Last Party on Earth series for the electronic heads. And, lastly, linked here, a re-rec I first found on here ~a year ago- @COREYDUBROWA 's appearance on That Record Got Me High, covering my favorite Zep record, Physical Graffiti.

Yes he's my friend and yes I've guested three times but I have discovered so many terrific LPs via this podcast and I'm particularly happy with the Elliott Smith "Either/Or" edition: https://www.thatrecordgotmehigh.com/s6e309-elliott-smith-eitheror-with-corey-dubrowa/

First-Ballot Hall of Fame podcast.
Stories about the indie music scene of the early 2000s, the tech-blog glory days, and walking across Europe.
My favorite “genre” of podcasts is whatever you call long form conversations between people with great chemistry and good understanding of the medium. Merlin and John, to my brain, are the best at that.
From episode 01 ("Keep Moving and Get Out of the Way") they were already making what would be gems of P.I. Recs.
At the same time, I struggle to recommend it. John and Merlin have been recording their weekly conversations since September 2011, 12.5 years ago. 1/8 of a century ago.
Is this how Star Trek / Doctor Who fans feel when they see the emptiness in my eyes as they begin explaining how the show peaked on its 17th season but the ride is worth it?
Still, one of my absolute favorite things in life.

Especially the early episodes w/ the songs integrated into the episode.
Host and a special guest go through the history of a band from growing up through their breakup and what they are doing now with in-depth analysis of it. Episodes are usually 3+ hrs.
Drove up to MassMOCA area from Boston a couple years ago and crushed the episode on Dave Matthews Band. I’m linking the one on Fugazi which I listened on a drive to IKEA a couple years ago. I listen to bands I’m already into or ones that I’m interested in learning more about.

Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with.
You don’t have eachother’s phone numbers, no social media info.
I have a couple friends like this and it’s been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.
