  "textContent": "Ha, well it's been a while since I last wrote a post here. Working on summer projects, finishing my last classes, and moving to Omaha filled up my past 6 months. During that time, I’ve been commuting to Lincoln, which was lengthy compared to having everything within 15 minutes.\n\nFor the first couple of months, I just had the radio playing. However, the signal to my favorite station gets hazy the closer I get to Lincoln. Other stations played either five songs on repeat or country songs. I grabbed my Spotify Discover Weekly for at least two months, but sometimes the algorithm missed my tastes pretty badly.\n\nI mixed in podcasts between weekly playlists. It turns out that this was the perfect situation to listen and catch up on lengthy podcast episodes. They’ve made my 2 hours of driving per day something to enjoy rather than suffer!\n\nMy main collection of podcasts includes:\n\n  * **Syntax** - This is all about web development, but they’re a lot more lively than most others on the topic.\n  * **Developer Tea** - This podcast focuses on the human-side of software development: stress, goal management, the reasons behind fundamental rules in development, etc.\n  * **Wonderful!** - An enthusiast podcast celebrating the small or large items or activities!\n  * **Shmanners** - An etiquette podcast for often unspoken rules in special occasions.\n  * **My Brother, My Brother, and Me** - A comedy podcast by three brothers giving advice comedically.\n\n\n\nI’ve been listening to most of these for over a year; I came across Developer Tea only three months ago. I would wholeheartedly recommend checking out these shows if you’re curious.",
