E-Mail #17 Podcasts & Cheesecake

Hey everyone,

So since we last spoke I've been banned from twitter for signing up to twitter before I was 13. That was nearly 10 years ago! I basically accidentally confirmed my birthday on twitter because it asked me to and they got me in their trap. So...TOTW is postponed till I...am....unbanned!

I hope you enjoyed Morgan's takeover last week, we both had a good giggle at the image Blogger chose for the thumbnail "if that isnt the biggest fucking mood for my take over on your email blast i dont know whhhhhat is"

Onto this weeks!

Video Corner



I saw this video last night as I was having a 'I love the McElroys so much' moment and saw this video on Tumblr of Justin...using a hairdryer....to defrost cheesecake. Iconic.

Good News 

This good news is less about news and more about how much I like and appreciate Facebook fan groups? Back in the day I was very active in a Starkid group before the Facebook page system changed. I follow groups for my favourite podcasts and it's so nice to chat with strangers about a common interest. 

Song Crush



I heard this song on the 'To All The Boys I've Loved Before' soundtrack because I'm apparently trash for liking music from soundtracks. This song really reminds me of 'Once In A Lifetime' by the Talking Heads and it just stuck in my head. Good tune.


Things I Made


Been adding some new work over on my design Instagram the past few weeks! I'm trying to enter competitions at the moment whilst also tasking myself to stay creative! Got some more stuff that I'm developing that I hope to share with you soon!

Podcast Pitch


Felt like sharing some of the more unique podcasts I've discovered recently!

The first is Positiviteeny! A podcast under 10 minutes that just tackles a quick subject, aimed to bring you positivity and inspiration! Themes include ASMR, parties, forgiveness, checking in with yourself. It's just a nice thing to listen to, and they update 3 times a week!

I found Punch Up The Jam as Griffin McElroy was a guest and I got really into the concept! The podcast format is that the hosts discuss a hit song, break it down, make jokes and theorise about the lyrics. They make a 'better' version of the song at the end, and it's just a really interesting concept! Lots of replying of questionable lyrics and chord changes. It's a good feel listen!

How Did This Get Made cropped up because long story short, I was watching the Bratz Movie and I was reading about it on reddit (I always find a forum after watching something to see what other people say) and someone mentioned how it got blasted on a podcast about films that just should not have been made. I decided to listen as I quite like the film in an un-ironic way and I ended up really enjoying the commentary! If you watch a lot of bad films or like film commentary, this might be for you!

And finally, Off Book! I heard about this podcast as Rachel Bloom was a recent guest and, as I mentioned before, I lurk around on reddit and find content through my favourite content creators. This podcast is quite niche and I'm still not sure about it, as it's a podcast based on improvising a musical on the spot! It's hit or miss if you're going to like the concept of the musical, so I am yet to listen to a whole episode, but it's a podcast I'll check occasionally to see if I like the guest or the musical theme!

I think that does it for this week!

I write this the night before I post, and it's supposed to snow tomorrow so I'll update here if it does or not!!!

Update: It did!

Thanks everyone! See you next time xoxo
