<h2><a name="Microsoft Edge" href="https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download" target="_blank">Microsoft Edge (Chromium)</a></h2>
<h3>Platform: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android</h3>
<p>
At the time of writing, Microsoft Edge (Chromium) doesn't have an official release yet. Latest reports suggest January 15th, 2020 as the official release
date. You can still download a Beta, Development, or Canary build of the new web browser from the <a href="https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/" target="_blank">Edge Insider site</a>.
I have been using the development build of the new Microsoft Edge since around June 2019 and have generally enjoyed it.
It will be very familiar for those coming from Chrome since it is also based on <a href="https://www.chromium.org/" target="_blank">Chromium</a>.
The main reason I like it is for its speed and reduced RAM usage. I haven't done any official tests comparing performance, but it
subjectively seems more responsive. Additionally, most if not all Chrome extensions can be used on the new Edge, so that
should help ease the transition for those who can't live without them. One of Microsoft's main selling points for
the new Edge is privacy features. Overall, there are still a few issues I have encountered like links in google searches
not opening properly, but I'm sure these will be ironed out by the official release date.

<h1><a name="podcasts">Podcasts</a></h1>
<p>
These are some of my favorite podcasts that I listen to on a regular basis.
</p>
<h2>Sports</h2>
<h3><a href="https://pca.st/simmons" target="_blank">The Bill Simmons Podcast (The Ringer)</a></h3>
<p>
As a New England Patriot's fan (most because of Tom Brady), I really enjoy this (perhaps too Boston-centric) sports podcast.
Bill Simmons grew up in the New England area and supports all of the Boston teams, although he currently lives in LA.
I enjoy his conversations with friends and family about the week's events in sports, generally focused on NFL and NBA.
He occasionally has celebrity guests and sometimes brings guests on to talk about TV and movies.
</p>
<h3><a href="https://pca.st/footballweekly" target="_blank">Football Weekly (The Guardian)</a></h3>
<p>
I love the light-hearted and sometimes comedic news and analysis of Premier League (and others) matches. The rotating
cast of football journalists and long-time hosts are thoroughly enjoyable to listen to every week.
Definitely recommend this podcast for any football (soccer) fans.
</p>
<h2>Video Games</h2>
<h3><a href="https://pca.st/bombcast" target="_blank">Giant Bombcast (Giant Bomb)</a></h3>
<p>
The Giant Bombcast is a great podcast for video game fans. They discuss video game news, latest releases, and sometimes
stuff completely unrelated. Very fun to listen to throughout the week as each episode is pretty long.
</p>
<h2>Technology</h2>
<h3><a href="https://pca.st/vergecast" target="_blank">The Vergecast (The Verge)</a></h3>
<p>
The Vergecast is perhaps my favorite podcast of any genre. The hosts discuss the week's tech news and other
nerdy topics as well as interviews with tech leaders. Cannot recommend this enough.
</p>
<h2>Comedy</h2>
<h3><a href="https://pca.st/nprwaitwait" target="_blank">Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! (NPR)</a></h3>
<p>
This is my favorite news/comedy podcast. I love hearing about the week's wacky stories and the rotating
panel of comedians' opinons on world events.
</p>
<h2>News</h2>
<h3><a href="https://pca.st/thedaily" target="_blank">The Daily (The New York Times)</a></h3>
<p>
My go to for the major news events of the day (as implied by the name). It's ready every weekday by 6 AM and
generally doesn't run longer than 30 minutes. Great way to start the day.
</p>
<h2>History</h2>
<h3><a href="https://pca.st/hardcorehist" target="_blank">Dan Carlin's Hardcore History (Dan Carlin)</a></h3>
<p>
This is long-form historical discussion and analysis. If you are interested in diving deep into historical
events from the perspective of someone who knows how to tell a story, this is the podcast for you. Episodes
are generally 4 to 5 hours long and aren't released very often as they require an enormous amount of research.
</p>
<h3><a href="https://pca.st/lmm1" target="_blank">Throughline (NPR)</a></h3>
<p>
The premise of Throughline is exploring how we can look at the past to understand the present. The hosts are
awesome and always find very interesting stories in the past relating to current events that help put
things in perspective.
</p>
<h2>Miscellaneous</h2>
<h3><a href="https://pca.st/invisibilia" target="_blank">Invisibilia (NPR)</a></h3>
<p>
I'm not entirely sure how to describe this podcast. According to the podcast description, Invisibilia is about
the unseeable forces that control human behavior and shake our ideas, beliefs, and assumptions. Definitely very
interesting and different from most of the other podcasts I listen to.
