Top of the Stack: “I’d recommend the book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned by Editing My Life by Donald Miller. I also want to recommend a podcast episode from Rumble Strip called ‘Finn and the Bell.’ The latter might require a trigger warning of sorts; it’s about suicide and is crazy sad on one level, but it’s also just about the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.”

Daniel Raimi

Favorite Resources Radio podcast episode: “‘Logging into the Deep History of Climate, with Erika Wise.’ I remember really liking this one because it dug into an aspect of the physical sciences that was totally new to me.”

• Logging into the Deep History of Climate, with Erika Wise

Top of the Stack: “I’m reading Jon Ronson’s So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed, which is about 10 years old. It’s fascinating how much has changed between then and now.”
