Mobius-7 LinkThis is great! and giving me a new ways to think about my landscapes. Especially in cities, I live near some amazing mountain ranges and have been stuck in a rut because I was tired of mountains...This is great! and giving me a new ways to think about my landscapes.

Mobius-7 LinkI have mainly been on 2 both of them horror anthologies. And one more normal podcast No Sleep Podcast. As the name suggests it started by voice-acting some of the top posts from the Reddit nosleep...I have mainly been on 2 both of them horror anthologies. And one more normal podcast
No Sleep Podcast. As the name suggests it started by voice-acting some of the top posts from the Reddit nosleep subreddit but pretty quickly they started writing their own stories. They have top tier VAs that you will hear time and time again if you regularly listen to horror podcast. Also the last time I heard their ads (a few years ago now since I have been buying each new season) they were all mini-stories as ads instead of canned script reads. Overall its 2nd thing I will put on for any long car ride
The Wrong Station. Another anthology podcast, but this one is a little more Black Mirror. The stories are told more by a narrator rather than a fully voice-acted story. I love this podcast, it is the only one I will listen to no matter what I am doing as soon as the next episode drops.
Darknet Dires. This one is more in line with normal podcasts, the host presents a topic/story from Cyber Security space and has interviews and the such. I am fascinated by cyber security and Red Teaming so this is the only 'normal' podcast that grabs my attention
I have burned through a couple of books these last 2ish weeks
The Underworld: Journeys to the Depths of the Ocean Susan Casey (Non-Fiction)
I have always loved the sea, especially the deepest parts of the ocean. So much so that it directly affected my career choices, so this book was an instant buy for me. It mostly follows 'The Five Deeps' expedition with an engaging storyline along with some pictures and history of deep sea exploration as a whole.
The Deepest Map Laura Trethewey (Non Fiction)
Similar in topic with a focus on the actual mapping of the ocean floor. Much of the book is focused on Seabed2030 along with The Five Deeps and general history of deep sea mapping. The biggest issue with this book (IMO) is that it will rarely miss an opportunity to take a shot at the inequality in the industry. While those topics are important it slows down the pacing of the book.
Prosper's Demon K.J. Parker (Fiction)
A short book about an exorcist and the demons he removes. This book has good pacing and does not overstay its welcome. gives me DOOM 2016 "The only thing they have to fear is you" vibes
Strike of the Sailfish Stephen L Moore (Non Fiction)
A WW2 history 2 narrative about the USS SAILFISH and USS SCULPIN. It is an enjoyable read if you are interested in the topic, but don't expect Hornfischer level of storytelling or writing
Neptune's Inferno: The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal James D. Hornfischer
Another WW2 history narrative focused on the battle of Guadalcanal. A well laid out and well researched telling of Guadalcanal. The thread of history is easy to follow and gives plenty of context. I look forward to read Last Stand of the Tincan Sailors from the same author
I am also about halfway through American Gods by Neil Gaiman and I am enjoying the hell out of it!
