I love podcasts to switch off during a rush hour commute in Bangkok. Often trains are packed and you can't even pull out your phone to look at funny cat pictures. Listening to podcasts makes me feel a bit more productive when I walk home from the subway station in the sweltering heat (or sit in a traffic jam in the back of an air conditioned taxi). This way, aside from burning an extra calorie or two, I also learn why an adopted, black, gay teenager is a huge Trump supporter. What to Listen: … [Read more...]

Because if there's one thing that's more suspicious than a murder, it's a murder that was made to look … [Read more...]
Game Over: An Interview on Video Gaming Rehab
A few weeks back, I wrote a post about my own experience with a video gaming addiction. I received a lot of feedback from people sharing their own stories as well as asking for advice.
