👂Things to listen to

Podcasts

• What If No One Pays Rent? (#CoolShit 04.09.20)

  • “In this episode, we follow the chain from a laid-off worker who can no longer afford her rent, to her landlord, and all the way to the multi-trillion-dollar global mortgage market.”

• These “thrilling” podcasts

  • I saw this thread on Reddit and was reminded of how much I like this type of podcast. They’re like a ‘can’t-put-down-book’ but in podcast form. Here’s a couple that I’ve listened to, and some that I want to check out.

    • S-Town

      • You’ll be HOOKED by the end of episode 2

    • Cold

      • “It's about Josh Powell and the disappearence of his wife Susan Powell. It was so good and they have so much unheard material, like Josh's own audio diary, Susan's letters etc.”

    • Bear Brook

      • “the most intensely moving podcast I have ever listened to.”

    • Serial, Season 1

      • “It's Baltimore, 1999. Hae Min Lee, a popular high-school senior, disappears after school one day. Six weeks later detectives arrest her classmate and ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, for her murder. He says he's innocent - though he can't exactly remember what he was doing on that January afternoon. But someone can. A classmate at Woodlawn High School says she knows where Adnan was. The trouble is, she’s nowhere to be found.”

    • Limetown, Season 1

      • So I have to warn you, Limetown is fiction BUT, it was SO MUCH FUN to listen to. It’s f’ing creepy.

    • Dirty John

      • My favorite part about this true-crime series was, the zombies, yup, just listen.

Music

• This 4+ hour mix by Henry Rollins, The Cool Quarantine 001 (#CoolShit 04.08.20)

  • Henry is one of the most knowledgeable minds in music. This mix is guaranteed to be insightful and super weird, you’ll enjoy it.

• This Jazz cover album of one of my favorite(and greatest rap) albums ever (#CoolShit 04.09.20)

• Black Thought’s Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

  • Mr. Thought is arguably, wait for it, the… greatest… rapper… ever. He’s been consistent over the past 20+ years. He’s technically sound. He’s lyrically complex. Fight me.

• My collection of “Songs to get you through a pandemic” (#CoolShit 04.08.20)

  • I’ve been collecting songs for when my optimistic ass isn’t so optimistic. What am I missing?

• This Bill Withers(R.I.P.) mix by PLAYJAZZLOUD (#CoolShit 04.09.20)

🧠 Things to read

• Something small, every day (#CoolShit 04.07.20)

  • I REALLY like the sentiment here - do something small & worthwhile TODAY. Don’t worry about next month, next week, or even tomorrow. Reminds me of one of my favorite parables, “How do you eat a whale? One bite at a time.”

• This free “small cook book for easy, delicious, cost-conscious recipes for the quarantine”

• This collection of free Marvel Comics (#CoolShit 04.06.20)

• These templates that help you say “no” in different ways. (#CoolShit 04.08.20)

🖍 Things for your kids

• Dyson’s(the vacuum company) created engineering activities for your kids that looks pretty fun.

  • “Dyson engineers have designed these challenges specifically for children. Ideal for home or in the classroom, they encourage inquisitive young minds to get excited about engineering.”

• This series of actors reading children’s books (#CoolShit 04.09.20)
