Stitching & Listening

I've been a bit obsessed with my latest quilt. It's made  from my hand-dyed cotton, so it includes all my favorite colors. The main panel was printed with a real fern.

I'm hand-quilting it with a Kantha/Boro stitch, a process that is very relaxing. Meditative, even. Which makes it perfect for listening time.

I've mentioned some of my favorite podcasts in the past: The Daily, On the Media, Post Reports, and Trump Inc.

I wanted to share a few of my newer finds:

• Throughline: Great history podcast from NPR. They cover a variety of subjects from conspiracy theories in American history to a look at the Kurds. As entertaining as it is informative.
• Slow Burn: I loved loved loved the season on Watergate. The season on Bill Clinton was good, and the new season on David Duke is excellent!
• Unfinished: Deep South: A truly fascinating investigation into the 1954 murder of Isadore Banks, a successful African-American, in Arkansas.
• Thunder Bay: This rundown city north of Minnesota is the site of an uncanny number of First Peoples teen deaths. Turns out that Canada hasn't really made peace with their history of oppressing native peoples.
• An Oral History of The Office. I am addicted to The Office. Its theme song is my ringtone. No romance will ever be more moving than the one between Jim and Pam. So far, there is only one episode out, but it is really good. If you like The Office, this is a smart history of the most-streamed show ever.

I'm always looking for good podcasts. What do you like?
