A Couple of Podcast Recommendations
Two of my favorite comedy podcasts that I’ve grown to love over the past couple of years are Off Menu and Films to Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein.
The premise of Off Menu is relatively simple: comedian hosts Ed Gamble and James Acaster invite a guest to their dream restaurant and the guest chooses their dream meal, from start to finish, and conversation is naturally had along the way.
Films to Be Buried With invites a guest on who has recently “died” and their life is discussed with comedian, writer, and actor Brett Goldstein, via a series of films the guest would like to be buried with. Categories include: first movie you ever saw, most underrated movie, best movie of all time.
If you’re looking for a laugh, go ahead and check these out. Maybe look for a guest that you’re familiar with and start from there!

iOS Screenshot Trick
Why didnât anyone tell me about this iOS screenshot trick?
Ramal Media posted a video on TikTok this week showing how you can easily hold down on scribbles you make on iPhone screenshots to make circles look perfect or arrows look like actual arrows instead of a mess.
I had no idea this was a thing either. Now I may actually use the drawing tools.
