part 370 fresh flowers on a side table in the morning

Um, 2020 was a year that happened. 2021 is a new year that will happen! With flowers! And side tables! And mornings! And I didn't want to make some sort of 20s-themed name because look what happened in 2020, look what happened.

Enjoy part 370!

Re: podcasts

This production company I follow started a bunch of podcasts which are all available on spotify and iTunes. Of all their podcasts, I particularly like two:

1. Face Jam. Here's two animated clips as a sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC_5GfjKdKE and https://youtu.be/74ggIHKIUIA?t=18. It's about the hosts Michael and Jordan getting fast food specials and reviewing them.

I'll be honest, I have no interest in the food (I don't even live in a place that has the fast food chains they visit) and was disappointed by their theme at first, but it's just entertaining to listen to those guys have fun and crack jokes, which is easy to do with such a silly subject. Since the hosts' names are Michael and Jordan, they initially wanted to name the podcast "Space Jam, the Michael, Jordan podcast" like the trolls they are, but due to copyright they went with "Face Jam the Fortnite fortnight podcast" instead. As a heads-up, it has a bunch of swearing used as punctuation/filler.

2. Red Web. It's a podcast hosted by Trevor (who explains the cases) and Alfredo (audience stand-in) where they summarize unsolved mysteries and freaky internet phenomena like cicada 3301 or real life crimes like the monster with 21 faces case.

The company's subreddit likes to criticize them for only going after cases/phenomena that have already been done to death by other true crime/unsolved mysteries podcasts, or how they're too superficial or derivative about the cases. Sometimes they have a point, but personally I don't think it's that bad-especially since they can only spend a fraction of their time at the company on this podcast-and still really enjoy it. Basically, this podcast does seriously investigate/consolidate information about cases and is a neat intro series, but if you're looking for something that'll make you a true crime expert, I'd look for a different podcast.
