As many of you know, Hanna and I have been quilting this fall. Having handwork means I need something to keep my brain occupied — since I have a really hard time just doing something physical. So, for the first time in about eight years, I have a substantial amount of time in the evenings and on weekend to listen to and/or watch things while my hands are occupied. Here’s a list of some of the things I’ve been enjoying.

Podcasts

Fansplaining. A new podcast about all things fandom.

Reality Cast. Reproductive health and sexuality news.

Sex Out Loud. With Tristan Taormino.

Welcome to Night Vale. (I’ve finally caught up to new episodes!)

Television Shows

Outlander. As a longtime fan of the books, I’m best pleased with this adaptation.

Sense8. Best watched for the character development rather than the labyrinthine

Strange Empire. Deadwood crossed with Penny Dreadful
