The 33 Project

1/ I’ve really been enjoying the content out of earthrise studio. They recently dropped both a new series called The Breakdown that dives into the factors that have led us to our current climate crisis and this short documentary on the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation and orangutan extinction threats. I really enjoyed the short doc on orangutans, which I found was beautifully shot and edited. They’re making awesome content.

2/ This was fun little diversion.

3/ New podcast alert! I love podcasts about creative process. Podcasts that dive into how creative things are…created. This one, The Object of Sound, is excellent. It’s about music and the ideas that go into creating specific music. As the host Hanif Abdurraqib states, it’s in conversations about the music and its roots that give the music purpose and meaning and enhance our listening experience. I recently listened to the Brittany Howard episode and it was lovely.

That’s all for this week.
