Music, Podcasts and Blogs #
Whenever I can—and neither need silence nor want to actively think about things—I’m probably listening to an album or podcast. Or I might be reading a blogpost or book. But sometimes just sitting/walking in silence is great too. Because these things mean so much to me, I thought I might as well create lists of my favourite podcasts, some great blogs and most importantly for me, of incredible music and artists for you to check out.
Podcasts #
-
Midst
This is by far the best story podcast I have ever heard! Available at midst.co, three unreliable narrators chaotically tell the story of midst↗, an english science-fiction space western! It's amazing! They also have episode transcripts available. -

This is a family of english podcasts about Linux, open source software and systems administration. A list of the different shows can be found on latenightlinux.com↗. Sadly there isn't much diversity in the set of hosts. There are also no transcripts available. -
