Just like a ton of you out there, we love a great podcast. Whether we’re in the car, cleaning the house, or just taking some time to ourselves, they’re a great way to learn, be entertained, and get motivated. Recently a viewer asked us what some of our favorite podcasts were so we thought we’d share some of our go-tos, for entertainment, business, and more.
In this episode of 2 Minute Tuesday we’re running down a list of our favorite podcasts and why we love them so much!
Dorian loves a mix of history, business, current events, and entertainment in his podcast diet. Here are some of his favorites.
A hilarious and insightful interview pod hosted by Conan O’Brien and featuring great guests like Dana Carvey, Bill Hader, Jimmy Kimmel, and more.
Part of The Ringer’s awesome podcast network, The Rewatchables recaps classic action, comedy, and thriller movies in a really funny way. if you’ve ever found yourself on the couch on Saturday or Sunday afternoon watching movies like Step Brothers, Bloodsport, Top Gun, and really wanted to discuss how perfect these movies are, this is the pod for you.
A great deep dive into notable historical and current events but with a unique perspective, this educational and entertaining show is hosted by Malcolm Gladwell, the brilliant mind behind such classic books as “The Tipping Point“, “Blink” and “Outliers“.
Dorian loves the mix of important news stories and outstanding news stories from The New York Times editorial team.
Dorian has mentioned his love for history, and in particular, presidential history and this killer series has seasons on The Watergate scandal and the Clinton/Lewinsky affair. We’re definitely excited about Season 3, which will cover the murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.
Another current events podcast, this time from The Economist, it offers excellent business coverage as well.
Another podcast for you history nerds out there, this one focuses on some of the most important and, well, revolutionary revolutions in history.
Dorian’s love of Seinfeld is deep and strong, so obviously he’s going to be into this hilarious podcast.
An offshoot of the awesome animated series (definitely not for kids), this serialized podcast is super entertaining and a must for all comic book fans.
Ashley loves true crime, technology, and some interesting non-fiction in her podcast menu. Here are her go-to’s.
Not so much a technology podcast, rather, it’s more about human stories with bits of tech, social media, and communication within it. We also love the great rapport between the two hosts.
Ashley is a huge true crime fan, so this one is right in our wheelhouse. Sure, it’s probably obvious that this one is about crime and criminals, but the stories are crazy and out-of-the-ordinary in a really entertaining way. Guaranteed to blow your mind!
A podcast with Casey Neistat and his wife, Candice, this podcast is pretty raw, unfiltered and a really interesting look into their relationship (and all relationships, really).
Fine, we’ll admit it, apps rule our lives and we often get asked what our go-to’s are for fun, business, organization, and entertainment. So, on this week’s 2 Minute Tuesday, we’re answering that very question.
Here are each of our 5 favorite apps for iPhone and Android!
Welcome to our newest series, The Check In! We wanted to try something new for our viewers and readers so in this series we’re checking in with each other on a few personal things, talking about some stuff we’re excited about right now, and giving you guys a few updates on what’s going on in our lives (like Dorian’s weight loss).
We hope you enjoy this new series, let us know what you think and if you have any questions or topics you want to see us discuss!
Chain Necklaces – Ashley loves a little bit of silver or gold peeking out as a nice bit of bling. Look for what’s known as a club chain in a small size like 2 or 3 millimeters.
Braided Belts – A cool twist on belts and they just add something special to your outfit. Look for them in leather or cotton and you can wear them in a variety of basic colors like brown, tan, black, navy, or gray.
Belt Picks:
Dorian is loving the documentary Apollo 11, a fascinating take on the space mission.
The Passage of Power by Rober Caro is a 4 volume history series about one of our country’s most interesting Presidents and his rise to power.
Frank Miller’s Batman is a hugely influential series of editions featuring one of DC’s most legendary characters.
As you know by now, outside of being my husband, Dorian is my business partner, and now a fixture on our site and channel. We get a lot of questions about Dorian’s involvement in all of our content, so, while we swear he’s not “taking over the channel”, in this episode of 2 Minute Tuesday, we wanted to answer this question and give you some more insight!
Dorian’s a fixture in our business life and helps with a lot of aspects, so it seemed natural to include him as our business grew and evolved. Obviously we’re partners in life, so having him around is all the more wonderful as we get busier and busier in our professional lives.
Because we collaborate so often and have been working together for awhile, Dorian has a ton of knowledge and smart opinions on all things style and accessories that I really value. He also is very passionate and knowledgeable about all things EDC, tech, and lifestyle, so we thought it would be a shame not to share with our readers and viewers of all the insight he brings to the table. Plus, as a regular guy just like you, he brings thoughtful opinions to the table, even when he disagrees, and we feel it’s important to bring this point of view to you as well.
It’s more of a technical production thing, but having him participate and assist in the filming of videos really is a huge help and time saver. With our wallet update video, for example, having him involved made the process much more efficient and productive.
Since we’re finally done remodeling and have moved in, we thought we’d give you guys an update and a tour of our new home!
Extra special thanks to our friends at Bevel for helping make this video happen. Dorian’s been testing the Bevel shave kit and absolutely loves it. Follow the link below to learn more and for your chance to win a free kit from Bevel!
Many of you have asked more about “our story” so we’re happy to start sharing. Here’s more about how we met!
