Hey Everyone. A bit of a somber episode this week but one I feel strongly enough that it deserves its own episode.

Hey Everyone! It's finally time to cap off the end of this two-part episode with the villains. It's a smidge longer than the part 1 but I had a couple things to add on at the end of this episode so I hope you don't mind.

Hey Everyone! This is part 1 of a two part episode. Next week I'll be talking about the villains. But this week it's all about characters I feel make this show compelling to watch and more than enough for you to get into the show. No lengthy show notes this week since many things I could link would be spoilers for part 2, so I hope you enjoy the longer format and I'll see you next week! Thanks for listening!

Episode 24: XKCD

2020-06-2218:541

Hey Everyone! Back this week with a light hearted, nerdy, solid recommendation. This week it's all about XKCD, the engineer comic artist behind it, and why flying a house is hard XKCD Website Lucky 10,000 "What If?"

I hope you enjoyed/will enjoy XKCD as much as I do and will give it a shot. I go back to those books every once in awhile when I need to feel better. Something about the humor and the out of this world type questions, ease the anxiety I might be feeling. This week's is a little shorter than normal, but I think that's ok given the length of the previous and how important that topic was/still is/will be for the foreseeable future. Please be safe! And wear your masks, wash your hands, and I'll see you next week! Music by Shane Ivers --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/persuade/message

Many more videos and podcasts, books and foundations. For me, these were the ones I found, watched, and listened to. Read and digested. I hope this episode, or at the very least the show notes can help shed some light on why this is such a big, and extremely important topic to cover. No source for Zootopia other than the YouTube video. More important videos deserve the attention. Please be safe, and I'll see you next week.

I mean, although Stephen’s Hagrid voice is just on point, I’m persuaded to give this another go with Jim Dale’s narration. 👍🏻

Ok...you convinced me. I used this months credit on the first book. I will say I watched the series and loved it. I might even have the first book around here somewhere, but I never thought to pick it up on Audible. Great recommendation. I think I was worried that the narration would put me off. Now that I know it is the same guy...i'm sold.

Good episode, but I think LoFi hip hop is better because it has better order in music.

I've known Stephen for several years now and we've trading book, movie, and comic recommendations. When he got into podcasts he kept recommending them to me, but I just couldn't get into them. Not my thing and that's fine. All that background to say, he finally persuaded me! He knows I also love plants so he sent me the plant episode and with some gentle nudging I finally listened. And loved it! I like that the episodes are short and interesting. Not a lot of down time or tangents (one reason I can't get into podcasts). Stephen has a great voice for it and is genuinely just trying to peruade you to try something he finds interesting. The show is wholesome, fun distraction from our current situation. 10/10 would recommend!

I absolutely love this podcast so far! They're fun, quick little episodes that I can easily get in on a drive to work or when I do things around the house. It's great hearing about things I'm actually interested in. Definitely a must listen to. Ps. The plants episode is my fav🌻
