Well, hello there. It's been a while. Between tornadoes, pandemics, and the world kind of melting down, The Playlist has been on a bit of a hiatus, but Josh and Dietrich took a moment to record a special episode talking about the challenge of finding media to keep us going through the most difficult year that either of us can remember. Dietrich discusses the way stress can actually leave us feeling unwilling to explore new stories, and the comfort of revisiting reliable authors like Stephen King. Josh talks about a favorite author releasing his newest novel chapter by chapter to help distract us during these times, and finding routine in this new normal. In addition, they talk about the joy of What We Do In The Shadows, the depressingly relevant world of The Wire, a quiet game about island living that's providing a much-needed solace, and more. We hope you all are staying safe and taking care of each other, and we will begin to get back to a normal schedule as soon as possible.
