What I'm loving Wednesday

Hello all! Hope your week is going wonderfully. I woke up this morning CONVINCED it was thursday... nope it is def Wednesday.. ah well- here are a few things i'm diggin this week:

PODCASTS:
At work i am on the computer all day searching the resume world. Well one day i randomly had the idea to check out the podcast world- the phrase "Where have you been all my life?!" comes to mind. I am now consider myself a podcast junkie...i don't know if it's cool to be into podcasts these days (i feel like they were big back in the day) and i somehow totally missed the bandwagon- Well i'm on it now!

Here are some podcast's i am LOVING

#1 would def have to be NPR's Wait wait don't tell me... HILARIOUS!!!
It's an hour long news quiz and seeing as i have been trying to be more informed about the world these days its encouraging to find myself knowing a lot of the answers to the questions asked. Plus did i mention it is HILARIOUS- you wouldn't really think it but i have to stifle laughter in the office... for those- i am at my desk but i really need to stay awake- days check out this podcast!

#2 THE MOTH

This podcast is, basically, people's stories. But it is story telling at its finest. I have found myself laughing and holding back tears at the different narratives. The last one i heard (the tears one) Was about a stand up comedian whose little girl was dying of cancer... it may seem a bit morbid but it was ironic and real and tender. Def worth the listen.

#3 THIS AMERICAN LIFE

It Kind of runs like a news story. But the stories are always interesting. They gave one story based on the book THE GOOD SOLDIERS about post war lives of soldiers. I could def relate to it with a brother who came back from a tour in Iraq about 2 years ago. The stories seem to be about controversial topics... which to me is interesting and at times enlightening.

#4 (but most listened to) HOW STUFF WORKS

This is a just an interesting podcast that tells you about, well, how stuff works. From brainwashing to how cults work to Freemason's its just interesting facts on stuff you always wanted to know about... or at least that i want to know about...

and last but certainly not least:
#5 NPR's CULTURETOPIA but specifically the "pop culture happy hour" (there are different episodes(?) throughout the week

This is just easy listening pertaining to all things pop culture/ random topics the
hosts want to talk about. Entertaining in a "i'm smarter than you" type way. (Lets just face it, that's how a lot of NPR things are... and i like it!)

it started out by listening to one podcast... and then slowly but steadily my podcast love grew from one podcast to... well 5... I've tried to branch out to others but these are the one's that i keep coming back to... if you haven't heard any of these take some time this week to enjoy... there's a whole other world out there!

and finally i have to give a shout out to my sweet husband. As i stated in my last post- It's been a hard month but he's been such a trooper and so sweet to me during everything.

If it's any contribution I like him a WHOLE lot more than i like podcasts....
