Podcasts I Like

So I talk about podcasts a lot and I thought I'd just talk about all the ones I listen too, and some I have listened to, but I don't listen to all the time, and just what I think about them and whatnot. 

So everyone knows Serial by now right? I listened to the whole season and loved it I can't wait for season 2. So many twists. The one thing I didn't like about it is that it's a true story and it didn't come to a conclusion. I started listening to it thinking that it would be fictional and I could guess who did it and stuff... But that didn't happen. Anyway, still good. 

Who Charted is also really good. I don't listen to it that much anymore, but it's hosted by Kulap Vilasyk and Howard Kremer... I probably spelled Kulap's last name wrong. They're really funny and have great chemistry together. They count down the top 5 charts in movies and music, basically what I do for my chart chat... But there's is better and funnier and I stole my idea from them, so there's that. They also don't do the top iTunes  charts but they do all different music and that's really cool. 

Another one I really like but don't listen to as often anymore is Skalarbro county. They're really funny, very interesting hosts. The guests are always really funny, they do a little phone call at the end with Bruce Jenner. It's funny. It's a lot about sports and I don't like sports... But it's still interesting and funny. They're standup special on Netflix is good too. Also by "they're" I mean the Skalar brothers who host the show. It's funny. 

I've listened to some episodes of Improv4Humans hosted by Matt Besser. This is a really interesting podcast. It's just Matt Besser and some other really funny comedians all improvising based on things people send on twitter. Which is cool. I like it a lot. 

Another newer podcast I've been liking a lot is With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus. Lauren Lapkus is one of the funniest people, she's a frequent guest on comedy bang bang and she has a lot of really funny characters. She also played the guard on orange is the new black that Nikki tried to sleep with. Anyway on this podcast someone else hosts, usually playing a character of some sort and then Lauren Lapkus will do a character that's a guest. It's really good, really funny and just good to listen to. 

I like the Nerdist podcast a lot... I usually only listen if it's someone I know and I want to hear more about them, but I really like Chris Hardwick and I think he does a good job hosting. He's really funny and interesting himself and they have really great guests too. 

I started liking podcasts because of Welcome to Nightvale... I don't really listen to that as much any more, but I still think it's a funny show and I recommend it. It's really funny and weird and different. It's like a dark, paranormal Parks and Rec. I like it a lot. 

My 2 favorite podcasts right now are Comedy Bang Bang and How Did This Get Made. Comedy Bang Bang is this insane improvised podcast with crazy characters. It's really funny to listen to because it's an interview show where they'll interview people about upcoming projects and stuff... But then the crazy characters will come on and stuff. I love the TV show, I think the podcast is even funnier. Really good. 

And How Did This Get Made is great too. It's 3 comedians and a guest, who is also someone in the comedy world discussing bad movies and talking about how crazy they are...it's really funny. I really like bad movies, so of corse I love this podcast. It's really funny and I love it. 

Another funny podcast that's ended now, but you can still listen to it is the Sylvester Stallone Podcast. It's bizarre, I don't really want to spoil what it's about but it's really funny and good. 

BYEEEE!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
