You Should Know About Ben Rector’s Instagram
I like music. A lot. I like songwriters that are smart but not overly clever. I’ve come to deeply appreciate some version of a “story song.” When a set of lyrics can sound like a real life conversation and not a contrived set of rhymes in meters, I’m particularly impressed. Ben Rector is that sort Continue reading

You Should Know About the Bible Top 10 Podcast
I am a Bible nerd. It’s a professional hazard, but it is what it is. I make no apologies for it. By no means would I call myself a “biblical scholar.” Those who hold that title are worthy of everyone’s undying respect, admiration, and thanks. I wish I had the time and energy to do Continue reading

You Should Know About Sea Organs
I’m not sure where I’ve been, but I only recently learned about these amazing instruments called “sea organs.” They’re magical inventions that use the pulsing waves of the sea to make music. It’s like a wind chime, but with water. Amazing. Continue reading

You Should Know About Lauren Mayberry’s “Are You Awake?”
Lauren Mayberry is the lead singer of the Scottish synth-pop band CHVRCHES. I’ve been a fan for about a decade. Their 2021 album Screen Violence was a standout for me, and I’ve been itching for new tunes. Now I get one, but it’s not what I was expecting. Lauren has released a solo track. “Are Continue reading

You Should Know About the Pilot Metropolitan
One of the joys of my life is stationery. (Before you ask either me or Google: Yes, I spelled it correctly.) I don’t know why or when it started, but I’ve always loved “Back to School” sales. I’m not alone in this. Many of us enjoy walking the aisles of Target and taking a look Continue reading

You Should Know About CREED
I love sports movies. My longstanding favorites are The Natural and Any Given Sunday. However, after this past weekend, I am moving the CREED franchise into the top spot. These movies, taken together, are a masterpiece. I did not know what I was getting into, back in 2015, watching the first CREED movie. But it Continue reading

You Should Know About The Point Magazine
I like to think of myself as that person who is informed. I enjoy learning things, and am scared of not knowing. As such, I’ve subscribed to a fair number of magazines and journals over the years. Some, I’ve enjoyed; others, not so much. But it is rare that I love every single issue of Continue reading

You Should Know About Scary Pockets’ Cover of “Free Fallin’”
If I had to pick, I’d say David Gray and Missy Higgins are my favorite musical artists. But the thing that haunts me in my giant musical nerdom is I never saw Tom Petty in concert before he died. His music is in my soul in a way no other artist is, and I can’t Continue reading

You Should Know About Shoresy
You would expect that I like Ted Lasso. For a variety of reasons, that show appealed to me. It was about a Kansas City guy, it was “feel-good,” it dealt with real themes that real people dealt with (mental illness, family upbringing, empowerment of all people). It was “wholesome” on every level. Shoresy is not. Continue reading

You Should Know About Plan 9 From Outer Space
When I was in college, I did what collage kids do: I relished the weird and reveled in the obscure. I came from a rural town on the outskirts of Kansas City, and – while not completely cut off – didn’t have a lot of exposure to the off beat stuff. I was exposed to Continue reading
