📚 The Emerald Mile by Kevin Fedarko
The true adventure of three river guides’ exciting trip down the Colorado River at its highest level. I’ve recommended this book to many friends and no one has ever been disappointed.
🎙️ The Moth
This is a storytelling podcast. Each episode usually features three or four storytellers whose stories are unified by a particular theme. I laugh, I cry, it’s better than Cats!

Coulter introduced me to this book, which examines race and politics in an area of Denver named the Holly after a local shopping center, starting with a shooting that occurred there in 2013.
📚 Hack Your Bureaucracy by Marina Nitze and Nick Sinai
Learn to be a good actor who leaves your organization better than you found it.

Apparently this genre of TV is considered “dad-tv,” but I love it! A spy thriller that can be found on Paramount+ or Prime.

Conan O’Brien is one of the most brilliant comedic minds alive today. This podcast teams him with his long-time producers and centers around hilarious and insightful interviews with celebrities or other interesting people across the world.
📚 The Future Was Now by Chris Nashawaty
This book chronicles the production, release, and influence of the major motion pictures released in the summer of 1982, including E.T., Conan the Barbarian, Poltergeist, The Thing, and other movies that changed cinema. Fascinating.
📚 📺 All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot
A heartwarming, comfort read (or watch, there’s a recent adaptation on PBS) that’s a love letter to animals and the northern English countryside.
📚 The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
I picked the book up on a whim and it kept me on the edge of my seat so much that I read two more of her books, one in a single sitting!
🎙️ Heavyweight
Have you ever wanted to go back in time and fix a mistake from your past? This humerous yet heartfelt podcast tries to do just that for its listeners.

Every season is a new mystery. Fun, lots of guest stars and I’ve never guessed who the killer is!
