Just finished reading Back After This by @lindaholmes.bsky.social. Cannot recommend highly enough. The banter feels like you’re watching a 40s screwball comedy, it’s so charming, and the characters are so lived-in. And I learned so much about podcasting. 10/10.

Everything is awful right now but the NYPL has the entire Game changers series available on ebook for everyone to borrow through Feb 14 with no waitlist so I guess that’s how I’m spending the snowstorm.

Having binged it all, I can confirm the second season of A Man Inside is a true delight. Also feels like an homage to a certain Agatha Christie novel, which further delighted me.
Hi, the new season of “A Man on the Inside,” a TV show I worked on, hits Netflix today. Ted Danson is in it! Also Mary Steenburgen, Gary Cole, Max Greenfield, David Strathairn, Lisa Gilroy, Stephanie Beatriz, Jason Mantzoukas, and many more funny people. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
