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

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

1. I'll be very happy when electric cars like this are in my price range! — Honda e First Drive on Fully Charged

2. Related reading on developments in how and where electric cars are charged. The lamp-post charging station idea makes a lot of sense — Powering ahead: six new ways to charge an electric car

3. A great TED talk by Megan Phelps-Roper, formerly of the Westboro Baptist Church (America's most controversial church). There is a lot to be learned from her in how we talk with people with contrasting beliefs to our own. — I grew up in the Westboro Baptist Church. Here's why I left

4. I love this thread of photos of 19th Century England — 19th Century photos

5. If you haven't watched any of NPR's Tiny Desk concerts, you've been missing out. This set by Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals is my new favourite, so much groove! I could watch them play for hours. However, a warning, the video contains quite a lot of explicit language! — Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

1. If you're planning on writing a hit song, Charli XCX has some advice — How to write a hit song in the year 2019

2. And some related listening... The Switched On Pop podcast goes into the weeds explaining how popular music is made. This episode explaining how mastering works was particularly interesting — The Master

3. An interesting video on the science of persuasion, based on Robert Cialdini's book Influence — Science Of Persuasion

4. I'm really enjoying this new podcast from the BBC: "Dr Ruja Ignatova persuaded millions to join her financial revolution. Then she disappeared. Why? Jamie Bartlett presents a story of greed, deceit and herd madness." — The Missing Cryptoqueen

5. I'm not entirely convinced I'd want to read a book on Instagram, but I quite like the idea. I'm also highly skeptical that they will be "the future" as the headline suggests — Hundreds of thousands of people read novels on Instagram. They may be the future

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 a learning something new and having a tough time: "It’s worth remembering that if someone knows how to do something, that means, with sufficient effort, you could probably learn it too." — Learnable

2. I like this idea. Something musicians do all the time! — Don’t quote. Make it yours and say it yourself.

3. I can't remember which was the first version of FIFA that I played, but it's quite a trip down memory lane looking back over older versions of the game. It's amazing how far the technology behind games has come in such a short period of time — Fifa 20: From 1994-2020 how the game has changed over the years

4. Talking of games, the recently released Untitled Goose Game is excellent — Untitled Goose Game is a honkin’ good time

5. Ants are fascinating. A great video from the folks at Kurzgesagt — The Billion Ant Mega Colony and the Biggest War on Earth

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

1. I'm really enjoying Apple's recently released Apple Arcade. It's a subscription service to 100+ games on Apple devices. It's currently available as a one month free trial so worth taking for a spin. My early favourites are Mini Motorways, What The Golf and Cards Of Darkness — Apple Arcade

2. Every 21st September Demi Adejuyigbe makes a video. This one is particularly excellent — September

3. Tim Ferriss had Tristan Harris on his podcast last week. Tristan is the co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, which wants to "reverse human downgrading by realigning technology with our humanity" (a fancy way of saying "make technology work better for the people that use it"). I've heard a few interviews with Tristan and he's always interesting and thoughtful — The Tim Ferriss Show #387

4. Think you've got rhythm? Put yourself to the test — Got Rhythm?

5. I recently started teaching myself bass guitar. If you just happen to be learning bass too, check out Adam Neely on Youtube. He has some great videos on bass technique and general musicianship. — Adam Neely
