Weekend Listening

Music: While Bandcamp was having a 100%-of-proceeds-to-artists day, I bought an older Grace Petrie album (credited to Grace Petrie and the Benefits Culture). Here is a song I particularly like therefrom:

Watch on YouTube

Oh man, the heady days of 2015 when Ed Milliband was leader of the (UK) opposition.

Podcasts: Nothing new, but I really enjoyed The Spouter Inn's Ovid episode! Some tentative progress further through The Magnus Archives.

Discovered Le 12:30, a news podcast from Radio Television Suisse. Very tiny segments, good background noise; but of course most of the content is Coronavirus at the moment.

I have SUBSCRIBED to a great many more podcasts in the hope of using my isolation well, but so far lack the attention span to carry through.

Which podcasts have you subscribed to?

I'm just as bad with subscribing and not listening, although part of my problem is, just listening to a podcast isn't enough stimulation but there are only a few things I can do whilst listening to it and retaining information. Currently working my way through Philosophize this and Superstition which is an audio drama

Recently most of the new ones on my radar have been in French. I'm eyeing off 'Histoire Vivante' from Radio Television Suisse, particularly.

I do a lot of crochet to podcasts/audiobooks. If i'm not consuming audio media I don't do much crochet, and if I don't crochet I fail to pay attention (at the moment, I have a kiddy colouring in book, that's a good alternative).

I'm exactly the same, although mine's primarily cross-stitching or paint by numbers at the moment.
