Access to every song in itself library (2 more)
Customizable
Can be free
Depends on if you pay money
Spotify gives you the ability to listen to any song at any time, assuming you aren’t on Free Mobile. The app for the phone is pointless if you don’t have Preminum. You can’t individually pick a song and can literally only shuffle play. However, on computer app and Playstation app, it is a lot more free, all you have to deal with is adds. Spotify Preminum is only really worth it if you are listening to it on your phone, becayse it does give you access to everything.

Unnerving thriller with lots of different threads
While elements of this psychological thriller seem far-fetched, there's something ghoulish and almost Stephen King-like in its approach.
Following the narrative of Ed, the teacher recounts his childhood with his friends and the time they found the dismembered body of a young woman. In the meantime, chalk drawings keep appearing, and take a life of their own.
While the ending is startling and worth listening to the finish, at times the back and forth narrative from past to future becomes convoluted and can be hard to keep track, let alone concentrate. A good thriller, but with a lot of loose ends.

The length
Such an interesting podcast
I really love listening to this podcast it is completely different every single episode, pretty much the guest that appears on the show decides where it’s going to go and what that episode is going to be like. This show is amazing because it just shows how meaningful human connection is and how much each of us are wanting to have a connection. Each of the guests have never talked to the host before and the host doesn’t know exactly what they’re going to be talking about so it leads for an interesting show every time.

Short and Satirical
I really enjoyed this podcast from the Onion. In this, we are listening to "OPR" which styled itself very much like something you would hear on NPR, complete with a fake pledge break about halfway through. I found it by mistake when I looking for a new True Crime podcast to listen to. I was glad I did. The satirical tones were pretty good, and while I generally believe you can't take satire too far, this did have some gags that were a bit much or seemed to drag on to me. Overall, it was well done and very much worth a listen!

Get informed and play games
This is one of the Talk Radio Shows that I dearly loved when I stopped listening to talk radio as much. Then, all of a sudden, there is this wonderful invention called a podcast. The Wait Wait podcast allows me to listen to the latest episode at my leisure and take it in with my wife normally while we eat supper.
The topics are a round up of the week's events. The celebrities are entertaining and the guests are always engaged and wonderful.
I will eventually get to see Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me Live - it is part of the bucket list.

I'm changing this from a 3 to 4 star review - from reading it mid last year to reading it again now - I enjoyed this so much more now than then. Though it still had some points I did not enjoy - it just entertained me better this time - the strikethroughs were a bit more confusing to follow through when listening through audio so that was a bit more to concentrate on - but I liked the audio a lot so perhaps that's why it gets another star - I still love Kenji the most out of the whole book - I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Like books? Need new recommendations?
This is a great podcast to listen to to hear a wide variety of new books coming out from a wide variety of genres. The hosts are great and know what they're talking about, while being fun to listen to. It's only a half an hour, so that can be both a good and bad thing, depending on how long you like your podasts, but hey, there are 185 shows to listen to! (as of 11/23/2018) Good listening. :)

Fantastic
I have been playing AOS for a year now and i love it. The rules are simple and easy to follow and there's an element in the hobby for everyone from minature building, terrain creating, minature painting and then the actual war gaming that comes in many different forms suited to how you would like to play.
The company is great a bringing new things out regularly, listening to and engaging with their customers.
The only downside is that it's quite addictive and you end up sinking a lot of money in it. I have four armies already...oops!

I am going to say its good because a lot of people I know have one in the house and will speak to it and have music played and questions asked, although the novelty does wear off and it is just as quick to look things up. But being a sci-fi fan I will not allow one in the house because one day all these things might come true and AI and robots are starting to take over every day tasks. I also don't like the way it is continually listening and storing records, so sorry no don't like the idea of it.

I'm quite familiar with the source material of this film, as I'm currently assistant directing the play. So with that at the forefront of my mind, I was not a very big fan of this film. The play that inspired this film, has so much rich dialogue and subtext, and it speaks to the heart of any person listening. So I was quite disappointed when the film lacked most of that depth and decided to drop the most exquisite parts of the play in favor of the dull pieces. Not a big fan, will not re-watch. Also, the quality of the filming was poor in general. Ghastly foley work.
