Anyone got any good
#podcast
recommendations that aren’t super newsy/current events? (I listen to plenty of those already) I really despise banter/interview styles and prefer a sweeping story told. I sincerely miss podcasts like The Truth and Heavyweight and I love Criminal and This is Love. Help!

I’m one week (& 40%) into crowdfunding Six Centuries of Type & Printing, a concise hardcover book that will teach you exactly everything you wanted to know about how we went from the first forays into inking letters on paper to today’s digital marvels.

Local UM college radio station KBGA 89.9fm has been playing “I Believe In Love Again” - Jex Opolis Remix ON REPEAT since at least 9:30am this morning. Is this subliminal messaging?

Started carving! No rhyme or reason to which sections I tackle with my gouges — but I do tend to leave the hair for last since it’s arduous. I just started the
#FourthWing
series. It should keep me entertained to get this block carved ASAP.
