Almost done ! It ' ll be so worth it ! <| sep |> My two favourite podcasts used to be Radiolab and This American Life . The former because of awesome science journalism mixed in a beautifully musical way and the latter because of magnificent storytelling interspersed with Ira Glass ' s incredibly relaxing and slightly lispy voice . My new favourite is Invisibilia , which is produced by my two favourite female producers from Radiolab and TAL . Stimulating , thought provoking , beautiful . It ' s everything I love about both . <| sep |> Don ' t forget the Hurray , Frenchie ' s not pregnant finale . <| sep |> I haven ' t listened to avalanches but I was under the impression they were electronic with some hip hop features . <| sep |> This is disappointing . While I did not vote Liberal , I ' ve been trying to view Trudeau ' s term with a careful optimism . Sadly he seems to be going the way of Obama letting a carefully curated public presence sweep a series of lousy policy decisions increased drone strikes , surveillance , etc under the rug .
