Andria K. Brown@andriakbrown.bsky.social · 4w agoIn 2016, when listening to NPR in the morning became impossible for ... reasons, I was guided toward my first podcast: @judgejohnhodgman.bsky.social. It took a few years, but I eventually burned through the entire back catalog and have listened to every episode since.
Was working on 4th of July prep and a gosh darned flag berry cake while catching up on podcasts and got to an interview john hodgman and Jesse Thorne did at @alotrolado-org.bsky.social . What an amazing organization and what an awful time we live in.
Our new episode, COUNTER ARGUMENT, is UP! Watch on YouTube and judge for yourself exactly how reckless James is being with his plate place (precariously close to the edge of the counter). Are you convinced that this is a time saver? Or are you team fully flat, no overhang? youtu.be/3UzVuR9wEas
