When I’m tasked with preparing a more complex meal for supper, I sometimes enjoy a podcast rather than music. They’re a great way to busy my brain while I’m chopping and stirring. Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History is a favourite, though sadly lacking in episode volume the last few seasons. Another I like is Alan Cross’ […]
My Life is a Song #111
