Most of the podcasts I listen too are there to help me sleep or just to weird out a little. Sometimes a podcast can do both.
If I want to sleep, it’s Nothing Much Happens from Wellness Loud or Get Sleepy from Slumber Studios.
If I want to weird out, it’s the classic Welcome To Night Vale from Night Vale Press. I have discovered a new to me podcast that has a Night Vale feel called Nowhere, On Air by Jesse Syratt.
I also like New Heights with Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce.
People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country.

To help us cope with the insanity of the present, we need Christmas movies, nostalgia, brain candy, and pop culture to help us make it through.
I will be posting more about all these things in the days ahead. We need some aid and comfort in these days.
Granted, we can’t bury our heads in the sand, but we need diversion.
In August, we went to Montana to visit family who live on the Flathead Reservation of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. The Pend d’Oreilles also call this land their home. It heightened my awareness of the Native American culture and contributions to the nation. November is Native American Heritage Month. It is a right and just thing to recognize this special time of recognizing and celebrating the ancient and proud peoples that called this land home well before Europeans. They have sacrificed much past and present, and their history is an important part of world history.
On Sun, Nov 2, 2025 don’t forget to set your clocks back to standard time. I hate moving the clocks back and forward, but in this case “gaining an extra hour of sleep” is not a bad thing.
I think candy corn gets a bad rap. My workplace handed out this little pouch of candy corn in advance of Halloween. It is appreciated. How sweet of them.
