Yes, I fell off the face of the earth. No, I don't talk about it in this episode. This is part 1 of at least 2, maybe 3 which are one-sentence (ish) reviews of the books I read in 2023. There are 24 books in this video. The digital reading journal is by RAOS and can be found on the Notability gallery or you can check them out at their ko-fi: ko-fi.com/raostudioss (they have other digital items as well). The Intro and Outro music is Fluidity by tobylane on Pixabay, and you can follow them here: pixabay.com/users/tobylane-15168815/ (Closed Captions coming soon to YouTube.)

My thoughts on some different recently consumed media. Star Trek classics, The Hike by Drew Magary, and Bring It On: All or Nothing. Music by Aakash Gandhi (YouTube Music Studio) -Intro/Outro: Stealth -IRL Screen: Lotus Pond

Yeah, I'm talking about the Amazon docuseries. It's heavy. It's triggering. Please take care of yourself and skip this one if you need to.

I have hyperfixations and I have feelings about said hyperfixations.

Today we're talking about some Star Trek stuff, because I recently started a chronological watch through and need to get some things off my chest. This episode contains spoilers for Enterprise, The Cage, Discovery (S1-S2), and Strange New Worlds, with a couple nods to other shows. I get kinda heated multiple times. I'm not sorry. Here's the link to the song I mentioned regarding Ash and Michael: The Shebrews: Leave All Your Old Loves https://youtu.be/8HGL5sOp0EU Intro and Outro Music: Stealth by Akash Gandhi https://youtu.be/U47Tr9BB_wE This podcast is available as audio-only wherever you consume podcasts.

Sometimes putting things online is accountability. This is one of those times.
