I’m looking for some new things to read or listen to — doesn’t need to be ad-related. Books, podcasts, whaddya got?
I’m not really into fiction, but open to anything. Last books I enjoyed were Junior and Moonwalking with Einstein, last podcast I binged was Startup (Gimlet).

There's a show called StartUp that's great and probably completely different.

I've also been dripping tincture and binging The Expanse 2-3 episodes at a time. It's also a book series if that's your thing.

Also for all you youngins that never saw The Wire that shit's classic.
