Otherworld (podcast)

This is the kind of show that I feel like I've always wanted. The storytelling is pretty top-notch and has the feel of those late-night "unexplained" shows that you'd stumble upon as a kid. It genuinely feels like sitting around a campfire, listening to a stranger tell you the most hair-raising story you've ever heard. I recommend starting with Episode 64: The Shed.

Otherworld pod

I’ve listened to every episode of this pod (and the Patreon is well worth it imo) and I think it’s the best shit ever. The host interviews people about their experiences with the paranormal and the way stories intersect with spirituality, science, and folklore is so incredible. It really makes me feel like there is more to this world than what we can see or understand currently. It’s also deeply moving how vulnerable people are with intimate aspects of their life and how caring the host is to the people he talks to. Injects a dose of wonder into my life every week ❤️

Different vibe than the pods you listed, but I will always recommend it. This American Life but for paranormal stories. Extremely thought-provoking, terrifying, heartwarming, and human depending on the episode.
this episode is a recent fav of mine!

Sarah Records

Sarah Records is an indie record label from Bristol that was only around from 1987-95 but in that time put out some of the best bands/records I have ever heard and is in my opinion the best label of all time. Every single song this label put out is good. I think the first single ever released on Sarah was “Pristine Christine” by The Sea Urchins which is probably one of the best indie pop songs of all time. Such a completely bonkers first release and everything after after that was amazing. I think I like and actively listen to every single band that ever had a Sarah Records release. Talulah Gosh, Another Sunny Day, The Sweetest Ache, The Field Mice, 14 Iced Bears, The Orchids, St Christopher, Brighter (insanely slept on band, if you like dreampop go listen to ‘‘things will get better’), Action Painting, The Razorcuts etc etc ill stop there. Talulah Gosh’s “Was it Just A Dream” is in my top all time albums same with The Field Mice. Another Sunny Day might even creep in there too.I was tempted to broaden this rec to include Flying Nun and the indie bands of New Zealand (The Bats, The Clean, The Chills) and also the broader C86 era scene but I should contain it lol. I think this era is criminally underappreciated too, one of my dream passion projects would be to somehow create and release some sort of Sarah Records Box Set / Book / Documentary type deal. If I ever become some type of crypto billionaire guy you will know it because I will be Martin Shkreli-ing the entire Sarah Records catalog but only to better share it with the world.

Makita XPH12R 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Compact Brushless Drill

Everyone should own a decent drill but I feel like there may be a lot of drill-less people out there that might need to hear this. You need a drill. Everyone needs one. The question is, when drill situations happen, do you want to be caught drill-less? Do you want people to catch you and witness you in a drill situation as a person without a drill? Not a good look. Nobody can live without a drill. You either own one yourself or you’re a person who relies on another person’s drill. You gotta decide now what type of person you want to be and what message that sends to the people who may or may not be judging you off this…. the choice is yours.
