Guys I think I am retiring my brain from the 24hr podcast cycle. 

TW: death of a parent. 

Since 2018 when my mom died, I’ve listened to a near constant stream of podcasts, initially to drown out my thoughts. 

Even when my mental health improved drastically, I found it hard to divorce myself from the habit of having constant background/foreground chatter. 

I’ve learned so much (mostly useless) information over the last 7 years and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have zero regret. I’m just ready to move on. 

I’m thus formally announcing my intention to listen to more music and fewer podcasts on the day-to-day. 

Comment your favorite artists below (I don’t like sad or slow music).

i binge a rotation of 5-6 tv series constantly for just this reason
