She is an incredible artist with a bit of a wild side. Was on last season's America's Got Talent. Here is something more serious.
This American Life Fresh Air Fly on the Wall - a new podcast with Dana Carvey, David Spade and SNL pals telling great inside baseball SNL stories Literally with Rob Lowe is also very good.
On episode three of this, and so far it's pretty good. Might switch over to the January 6th Committee hearing though.. What really happened with Andrew Luck? Illustration by Adam Parata Andrew Luck was 29. There were 15 days left before the start of the 2019 NFL season. Luck was coming off a season where the Colts went 10-6, where he was named the AP Comeback Player of the Year, played every game, and — this gets forgotten — he’d been sacked just 18 times, well below his lowest rate for a full season. And then he was gone. It remains an all-time NFL stunner. And the true story remains, for the most part, a mystery. Luck is still just 32. A few years later, two dozen teammates, coaches, league executives, friends and rivals helped us fill in the gaps. Listen to the six-part podcastright here, or find it on your podcast app of choice.
I listen to three podcasts regularly: Decoding the Gurus - Their own summary of the podcast: "An exiled Northern Irish anthropologist and a hitchhiking Australian psychologist take a close look at the contemporary crop of 'secular gurus', iconoclasts, and other exiles from the mainstream, offering their own brands of unique takes and special insights. Join us, as we try to puzzle our way through and talk some smart-sounding smack about the intellectual giants of our age, from Jordan Peterson to Robin DiAngelo. Are they revolutionary thinkers or just grifters with delusions of grandeur?" Making Sense with Sam Harris - I used to worship Sam Harris when I was younger. Whether I agree with him is very hit and miss nowadays but I still enjoy his perspective on many things. Very Bad Wizards - Tamler Sommers, a philosophy professor at the University of Houston and David Pizarro, a psychology professor at Cornell University talk about ethics, cognitive science, pop culture, and sometimes briefly touch on "culture war" stuff, though not with much seriousness. My favorite episodes are when they do deep dives into movies, TV shows, books, or short stories.
