Here is a collection of other blogs, podcasts and posts that I frequently reference or find interesting and inspirational and would wholeheartedly recommend.
Blogroll
- 47nil - The owner describes it as a personal blog about common sense where he dumps everything on his mind.
- A Very Good Blog - honest reflections, messy truths, and relatable reckonings. Case in point: Fellas, is it gay to like pop music? (or: “Toxic”) which is one of my favourite pieces on the internet.
- Christopher Butler - thoughts on evolution of design and culture.
- Herman’s Blog - short-to-mid length essays about life, tech, and anything interesting.
- Kev Quirk - posts about tech, web design, watch collecting and Kev’s other interests.
- Kwon.nyc - an ‘online journal’ about things Rachel observes in her daily life, thoughts on them, and more.
- Labnotes - think of this as a witty and informative weekly compilation of links, images, posts and pretty much everything on tech, design, and culture.
- Manu - Manuel writes about independent web, minimalism, tech, personal insights and a lot about people. You can discover some of them in his People & Blogs series. Also, his site has a tasteful and thoughtful minimal style.

- Tangible Life - Steve’s attempt at pushing against the feeling that ’the tangible characteristics of modern human life have been slipping away.’
- The Jolly Teapot - this covers Nicolas’ comments and experience with tech.
Podroll
- Darknet Diaries - this is my favourite podcast and it’s about ’true stories of the dark side of the internet.’ Jack Rhysider is a wonderful storyteller and has a way of making cyber-crime, hacking and all that fun jazz beginner-friendly.
- F1: Beyond The Grid - personal and often untold stories of F1 stars.
- Filter Stories - stories from the coffee world and how a simple coffee bean impacts millions of people. You’ll also enjoy an extra shot with the companion spin off shows: A History of Coffee and Science of Coffee.
- Heavyweight - Jonathan Goldstein untangles the “what ifs” and unfinished stories of people’s past, giving old regrets a second chance. Also, the theme song is amazing.
- Hemispheric Views - three blokes with a light-hearted approach to tech, media, cultural differences (from both hemispheres) and family life.
- Hyperfixed - for all Reply All podcast fans, Alex Goldman tries to get to the bottom of different issues or annoyances.

- P1 with Matt and Tommy - reactions and opinions from two diehard F1 fans.
- Redacted - lies and secrets from the darkest corners of history (mostly government and military offices) based on declassified information.
- Reply All - about the internet and its compelling stories. My favourite ep. is #158.
- Search Engine - PJ Vogt answers all sort of questions you might search online when you can’t sleep.
- Small Torque Podcast - first of all, what a clever name. Katy Fairman makes a cup of tea and casually dives into the latest motorsport headlines and topics.
- Twenty Thousand Hertz - stories behind the world’s most recognisable and interesting sounds.
- Waveform - need I describe what an MKBHD podcast would be about?
- Who Shat On The Floor At My Wedding? - a comedic investigation into bizarre non-crime mysteries.
