Oddities

And this, which follows precisely the formula laid down by shows such as Pawn Stars and Storage Wars, but with characters and merchandise far, far more to my own tastes. Filed under Audio & Podcasts, because I found it online and TV is dead.

Note that the robot guy has his own documentary. More of Michael Sullivan here (via Wired), with clips from his animated movie.

Enjoy (short, 14:03 minutes)

Boundoff & OpenCulture

2 Links today - the first - Boundoff - describes itself as "A monthly literary audio magazine" -short stories read by (usually) by their authors - note that you have to pay attention otherwise you'll just end up shaking your head and going "WTF??". Note that it's enjoyable, but as they are readings they sometimes lack the spontaneity and charm of The Moth Podcasts.

And the second - Open Culture - "The Best Cultural & Educational Media on the Web" - offers a variety of media from free movies, podcasts, ideas, etc.

Both will keep you busy for a while.
