I am sure you will find something that you like. Keen lovers of the Fave lists will remember that I listed two bands as Faves back in July, Phoebe Bridgers and Waxahatchee. Both bands make the list! Check it out here.”

2. Actor Jessica Vanek (The Marvelous Wonderettes and Fools) says, “I just spent two days watching all of The Queen’s Gambit and I LOVED IT. It’s a limited series on Netflix about chess and I really enjoyed it! If you’re looking for a binge show, this is the one for you.”

4. Marketing Director Isaac Bont recommends, “Snowshoeing! If you've never been snowshoeing, the time to try it out is coming up! Winter in the Midwest is beautiful (if a little chilly) and even if the idea of an oversized ping pong paddle strapped to your shoes doesn't seem particularly thrilling, you'd be surprised! It's mostly an excuse to go out into a beautiful outdoor area (there are many local state parks and forests beautiful for this) and not sink into a deep bed of snow while you explore! Pair it up with some hot cocoa (with a little Baileys for the 21+ crowd) and a wintery movie afterwards!”

5. Actor Faith Klick (The Marvelous Wonderettes, Fools, Crimes of the Heart) says, “A favorite of mine has been Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby!. It’s a Greek mythology podcast. It’s a great way to learn all about Greek mythology and the host adds a lot to it.
6. Director Traci Ledford (Crimes of the Heart, Silent Sky, and the upcoming Brighton Beach Memoirs) says, “Tiger Leap Productions is a podcast production team founded in part by Dan Buck, a dear colleague of mine from graduate school. He, along with others, have created three original podcasts with the intention of bringing fun and wonder back into the lives of ordinary humans. I've listened to every episode of the limited series, Project SSA, as well as their new offering, Curio. Both are similarly appealing in their childlike wonder of adventure and mystery. The final one is called The Punnery, which is self-explanatory and often filled with odd true stories. The production quality is solid, and all of the adventures either awaken curiosity or have you shaking your head in laughter. Each podcast is available on multiple platforms. An overview of each podcast is available at their website: https://tigerleapproductions.com/
