Five Things #170

Every Tuesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

  1. If you're looking for a binge-worthy podcast series, look no further than the BBC's Tunnel 29 podcast. It tells the story of an attempt to build a tunnel into East Berlin to free friends and family trapped behind the wall. It's an incredible story, that's very well told. — Intrigue: Tunnel 29

  2. If you have some spare cash gained by ill-gotten means under your mattress, you might find this video helpful — Talking Politics: How To Launder A Trillion Dollars - In Five Steps

  3. A fascinating episode of the Pessimists Archive podcast on the history of mirrors, vanity and what it can tell us about our obsession with selfies. I'd been meaning to listen to the Pessimists Archive podcasts for ages, and I'm glad I finally got round to it. — Mirrors

  4. Could you eat crickets? Two billion people regularly eat insects and they'll probably be coming to a supermarket near you very soon. For the record, I think I could and I'm curious to give them a try! — Verge Science: Why companies are mass-producing edible insects

  5. Nils Frahm has a new album combining a number of recent EPs. As per usual, it's very good — All Encores

That's all for this week. If you enjoyed it, sign up to my newsletter and you'll get the next one delivered to your inbox.
