Microsoft Edge (Chromium)

+

Platform: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android

+

+ 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 Edge Insider site. + 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 Chromium. + 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. +

Podcasts

+

+ These are some of my favorite podcasts that I listen to on a regular basis. +

+ +

Sports

+

The Bill Simmons Podcast (The Ringer)

+

+ 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. +

+ +

Football Weekly (The Guardian)

+

+ 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. +

+ +

Video Games

+

Giant Bombcast (Giant Bomb)

+

+ 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. +

+ +

Technology

+

The Vergecast (The Verge)

+

+ 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. +

+ +

Comedy

+

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! (NPR)

+

+ 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. +

+ +

News

+

The Daily (The New York Times)

+

+ 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. +

+ +

History

+

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History (Dan Carlin)

+

+ 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. +

+ +

Throughline (NPR)

+

+ 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. +

+ +

Miscellaneous

+

Invisibilia (NPR)

+

+ 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. +
