What a precious gem of a human. The guys on Throwing Fits can get a bit bro-y but listening to what JCR muse about style and life was a genuine pleasure.

First-Ballot Hall of Fame podcast.
Stories about the indie music scene of the early 2000s, the tech-blog glory days, and walking across Europe.
My favorite “genre” of podcasts is whatever you call long form conversations between people with great chemistry and good understanding of the medium. Merlin and John, to my brain, are the best at that.
From episode 01 ("Keep Moving and Get Out of the Way") they were already making what would be gems of P.I. Recs.
At the same time, I struggle to recommend it. John and Merlin have been recording their weekly conversations since September 2011, 12.5 years ago. 1/8 of a century ago.
Is this how Star Trek / Doctor Who fans feel when they see the emptiness in my eyes as they begin explaining how the show peaked on its 17th season but the ride is worth it?
Still, one of my absolute favorite things in life.

I don’t really mess with pods too much but I recently worked with Eric Rahill (on Middle-Sized Things by Michael Rees) and ♾️quickly grew to be a huge fan. I decided to check out his podcast on my flight back. The woman next to me on the plane asked me what I was laughing at in my headphones. I told her Jeff Foxworthy, for some reason. On Joy Tactics, Jack Bensinger, Eric Rahill and Nate Varrone sort of riff on topics centered around the concept of “joy”. Kind ass real ass funny ass guys that stay trippin me out.

Definitely have a conversation with your friend. It‘ll nag at you if you don’t, you’ll always wonder. Wouldn’t go straight for dumping, sus it out first in an inquisitive way. But it’s not great 🥶

Soothing respite when checking out a new city. Saw this guy in the huge lily pond at the Taipei Botanical Gardens 🌸
