Listen to It ... And Escape

This is a list of podcasts that I have been listening to for a couple of years now. They help me escape from not only my work and life stress but also my internal stress that my mind creates. You should check some of them out.

1) Critical Hit

With over 375 podcasts to date, this podcast follows the travels of Orem. This is a group of guys and gals that play Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition. It is a very fun to listen to and since I love to play Dungeons & Dragons, it is a good listen. Most episodes are around an hour and a half, with a few shorter and a few much longer, so it is a good podcast to listen to on your daily commute. This podcast is released weekly.

It is also available on iTunes.

2) We're Alive and We're Alive: Lockdown

This is an audio drama that spans a number of seasons. The premise of the audio drama is that the world has gone to hell because of a zombie apocalypse. This audio drama is very immersive and a great listen. All the voices are very distinctive, which is a plus since you never see the characters. And as a bonus, I am in the We're Alive: Lockdown. This podcast has ended, but they might have more coming up very soon.

3) Nerdist

This is a very fun podcast to listen to. It is a series of interviews with any- and everyone imaginable. The host is Chris Hardwick, who is a hilarious comedian and host of the Talking Dead show. Most episodes are around an hour to an hour and a half, so it takes almost no time in your day. They release 2-3 podcasts each week.

4) The Dice Tower

Again towards my nerdy side, I love this podcast because of its topic. The topic of board games. This is more than just Monopoly and Risk. There are hundreds of board games released each year across the world. This podcast helps me find board games that I may like or helps me by reviewing board games I have been thinking of getting. They release podcasts weekly.

5) AMusEd

This is a podcast for all of my music educator friends. This is a podcast start by 4 friends in California to talk through their first 5 years teaching. They talk about any and every topic that can appear in Music Education. It helps me with my anxiety towards teaching, since I can just listen to what they have done. They release new episodes weekly.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

296821

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
