Things I like

This page is a living document where I list things I really like. It’s a list of lists and points to tools. I’m quite obsessed with making lists to be honest.

Watch and read

• Movies, shows - I use The Movie Database to keep track of stuff I like in lists
• Books - I still use goodreads, here’s my books, sometimes with reviews. It’s got an outdated interface and since Amazon bought it looks almost like it’s been abandoned, but I don’t yet have enough of a strong reason to move. Storygraph is at the back of my mind though.

News

• The Edinburgh Minute, which I support
• Will Media [ITA], which I also support

Podcasts

I’ve been using Pocket Casts for ages, it’s good. Here’s my favourite shows (not listing the ones I use for language learning).

Tools

• I use Readwise for both RSS feeds and newsletters, it’s really useful
• I have my own newsletter on Buttondown - read here about why I moved away from Substack
• Recipes: the CookBook app is great, to the point I bought a lifetime subscription
• I use AnkiApp for my language learning (flashcards) - quite an old fashioned design but honestly this is trumped by the quality and range of features. I also use Seedlang.
