Episode 33: The Halo Book Series

Hey Everyone! Given that last week I took away a book series, this week I am giving you a book series. For those of you in need of a lot of content, are interested in Halo in general, or want to dive into an excellent series? This week is for you!

Thanks for listening everyone! This is longer than usual, I know. But I assure you, it could've been much longer. I will do a part 2 once I finish the series so I can go over the unknown. Likely sometime in October after Shadows of Reach drops. Thank you again for listening and if there's anything I missed that I can add to help you or someone you know out in the show notes, feel free to reach out!

Hey Everyone! This is part 1 of a two part episode. Next week I'll be talking about the villains. But this week it's all about characters I feel make this show compelling to watch and more than enough for you to get into the show. No lengthy show notes this week since many things I could link would be spoilers for part 2, so I hope you enjoy the longer format and I'll see you next week! Thanks for listening!

Hey Everyone! Back this week with a light hearted, nerdy, solid recommendation. This week it's all about XKCD, the engineer comic artist behind it, and why flying a house is hard

Thank you so much for listening! I hope you enjoyed/will enjoy XKCD as much as I do and will give it a shot. I go back to those books every once in awhile when I need to feel better. Something about the humor and the out of this world type questions, ease the anxiety I might be feeling. This week's is a little shorter than normal, but I think that's ok given the length of the previous and how important that topic was/still is/will be for the foreseeable future. Please be safe! And wear your masks, wash your hands, and I'll see you next week!

There are many more resources you can find. Many more videos and podcasts, books and foundations. For me, these were the ones I found, watched, and listened to. Read and digested. I hope this episode, or at the very least the show notes can help shed some light on why this is such a big, and extremely important topic to cover. No source for Zootopia other than the YouTube video. More important videos deserve the attention. Please be safe, and I'll see you next week.

Hey Everyone! This week it's straight to the point. The Imagination Library has been something so incredible and one I get to enjoy with my daughter each and every time a new book comes in and I think it will be great for you as well. But say your kids, friends, friends kids are too old for this, then what? Don't you worry, I have you covered

Episode 16: Getting A Plant

Episode 16: Getting A Plant

Hello everyone! This week it's a little different, as this felt to me as more of an advice episode than a straight up recommendation episode. I really wanted to talk about gardening but as it went on, and two recordings later, I decided to just morph it into getting a plant. Plus some tips and tricks that can help you and resources to look for more info. Hope you like it!
