This episode, we're exploring what we did to Cure our childhood boredom. We actually found that a lot of these "Cures" have lead to important skills or lifelong hobbies. Some of these Pastimes were especially formative to the people we have become. Do you remember your favorite cures for boredom? Have those childhood distraction lead to anything important as an adult? If you have any fun stories about being "Bored", we would love to hear them.

This week we're talking about if we do more Solitary or Group Hobbies; if we've started a hobby on our own, but joined a group, and or vice versa. We take a slight tea detour (a teatour) at the start of the podcast, and along the way we venture into "old school tech", and getting to play video games with some well know musicians. Do you have a preference for Solitary or Group Hobbies? Has your hobby "Flip-Floped" from one to the other? If you want to join a group hobby, join the Strandees and other Listeners on The Patreon.

We're back with another PPPod! This week we're discussing the Pre-Youtube Internet, and specifically the videos we would find before there was a Youtube. We also talk about Flash Animations, Browser Games, and Internet/Computer Pranks. The last third of the pod is spent on the Early Youtube Asian Musicians; our brown and yellow contemporaries that influenced us. If you were around for this era of the internet, let us know what were your favorite videos and sites? Do you remember the first internet video you saw? Being kids of the internet, we will probably be back with a sequel to this episode.
