Quarantine Q&A - 13, 15, 16?

13) What is your dream job?

I don’t know if I really have a dream job anymore. I had lots of them growing up, but at this point the dream would just be somewhere where I’m safe. If we’re talking unrealistic, unachievable goals, I’d like to run an indie bookshop that’s both cute and a little creepy.

15) Favorite podcast?

Absolutely impossible for me to narrow down, so I’m gonna give you several:

The Adventure Zone

Justin, Travis, Griffin, and Clint McElroy play a bunch of different rpgs. Admittedly, the only arc I’ve listened to is Amnesty, but damn it’s good. Episodes are 1-2 hours long.

Astonishing Legends

Do you like deep dives into weird shit? Scott Philbrook and Forrest Burgess have the podcast for you. In each episode, they talk about a different crazy story - anything from cryptids, ghosts, and UFOs to bizarre historical mysteries like the disappearance of Amelia Earhart. This is an unusual one among shows of this type because of how much research they do. They go all-out, exploring every possible avenue and discussing every possible solution, from the mundane to the woo-woo. I’ve been listening since almost the beginning, and they’re five years old now. Episode length varies wildly. Can be anywhere from 1-4 hours long.

My top 10 favorite episodes/series (no particular order):

-Tamam Shud: The Somerton Man Mystery (4 parts)-Skinwalker Ranch (3 parts)-The Mothman (5 parts)-2nd Chances-The Kelly Hopkinsville Encounter (3 parts)-Black Eyed Kids (3 parts)-The Sallie House (4 parts)-The Near-Death Experience (2 parts)-The Betz Sphere (3 parts)-The Patterson-Gimlin Film (6 parts)

Hello from the Magic Tavern

I love the fantasy genre, improvised comedy, and badgers, so of course this one is on the list. The premise: several years ago, podcaster/comedian Arnie Niekamp fell through a dimensional rift behind a Burger King in Chicago and found himself in the magical, fantastical world of Foon. Somehow, he’s still getting a slight wifi signal, so every week he hosts a podcast from the tavern The Vermillion Minotaur where he interviews any interesting creatures or adventurers who pass through. Joining him are his best buddies Chunt, the shapeshifter/talking badger, and Usidore, wizard of the 12th Realm of Ephysiyies, Master of Light and Shadow, Manipulator of Magical Delights, Devourer of Chaos, Champion of the Great Halls of Terr’akkas, known to the elves as Fi’ang Yalok, known to the dwarfs as Zoenen Hoogstandjes, and known in the Northeast as Gaismunēnas Meistar. Episodes are between 30-60 minutes.

Jim Harold’s Campfire

Jim Harold has a ton of different podcasts, but this one is something special. It’s formatted like a call-in radio show. Listeners call in and share spooky things that have happened to them, whether it’s ghosts, cryptids, UFOs, or something unclassifiable. There are always some really interesting stories in each episode. Episodes are typically 1-2 hours long.

My Brother, My Brother, and Me

I think everyone on tumblr knows this one but just in case: Travis, Justin, and Griffin McElroy sit down and give an advice show for the modern era. If you have a really boring job, listen to this while you work. Episodes are generally around an hour in length.

My Favorite Murder

I don’t consider myself a true-crime kind of girl, at least not compared to my sisters. But Georgia Hardstark and Karen Kilgariff are fantastic hosts. Each week, they take turns teaching each other about a different murder, and their dark sense of humor is very much my thing. I only started listening to them recently, so it’s too early to have a favorite episode, but I love this show very much. The show alternates between full-length 60-90-minute episodes and 30-minute minisodes.

Still Untitled: The Adam Savage Project

Every week, Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame sits down with cohosts Norman Chan and Will Smith (not the one you’re thinking of), and they talk about everything that interests them, from technology to parenting to pop culture. Each episode is around 30 minutes long.

16. Favorite musical artist?

This one’s tricky because I haven’t listened to much music in recent years. I generally opt for podcasts, unless I’m focusing on something else (in which case I need instrumental music). A few of my favorites are Queen, Hozier, Sara Bareilles, Imagine Dragons, Lady Gaga, Barns Courtney, Mumford & Sons, and Fleetwood Mac, but honestly I tend to like individual songs more than the artists themselves. I’ll pick out a handful of songs from each artist that I really like, and then ignore the rest of their catalog.

Thanks for the ask, friend!
