  • On my long commute I usually listen to:

    We can be weirdos: Dan Schreiber from “No such thing as a fish” interviews some interesting people about their odd (and often supernatural) experiences.

    Dark Histories: A very thorough dive into a specific crime case or strange event from history. The host really goes deep into the subject which is cool.

    No such thing as a fish: most people know it I assume.

    Loremen: a little like Dark Histories, but on the funny side, about folklore and history.

    My mate bought a toaster: people getting interviewed about their Amazon purchase history. It’s pretty funny.




  • But it’s not really comparable though, is it? I also happen to live in Germany. I work 8 hours, have to pay for my own 30 minute lunch break and have about 3 hours of transport a day, 1,5 hours each way, the days I go into the office. That makes a day of 11,5 hours only spend on work, not counting the hour getting ready before I leave, which I don’t really count as free time. There are no other breaks included in the day. I’m not saying that school isn’t hard, but when I went to e.g university I had a heck of a lot more time to explore my own interests than I do now. When I get home I have to make dinner for the family, empty the dishwasher, do the laundry etc. (and I share these talks with my partner) and I maybe have a good two hours of doing nothing before going to bed on weekdays. I would take school, with all the exams and what not, any day.
