2021 – What I Read, Watched and Listened To

TV Episodes

2021, well, better than 2020 I guess? That’s not saying much. But I did feel like I watched a lot of great media. I kinda fell off my reading game toward the latter half of the year but hit it hard for a final Christmas beach vacation.

Halfway through the year, I decided to switch back to Apple music (because I hate Spotify so much), but I can’t say it’s going much better than Spotify. I still lament the loss of Google Play music (youtube music? not going there.) And not the least of the music malaise is that my personal digital collection may finally just be lost, aside from a couple of hard drives that are barely accessible.

The kid’s car selections still dominate my most played music, so it would appear that Justin Timberlake (Trolls World Tour) is my top artist.

Books and movies, this year everything is in Alphabetical order. I also got lazy and didn’t breakdown which episodes of each TV Series I watched. I certainly didn’t finish them all – if you’re really curious, drill down on the data visualizations, it’s all in there. I reached into the terminology of my early youth ski racing and added a DNF (Did not finish) to books I decided not to keep reading.

PODCASTS

Once again, with the shift to primarily remote work, and no commuting, podcast listening dropped off a cliff. Below are the ones that stayed in rotation and were added to the list.
