Podcasts have officially overtaken AM/FM talk radio as the more popular medium for spoken-word audio in the United States. "Netflix is inking deals with iHeartMedia and Barstool Sports to bring podcasts to the streaming service as a more trendy version of the daytime talk show."

YouTube has said that viewers watched 700 million hours of podcasts each month in 2025 on living room devices, like TVs, up from 400 million the previous year.

Would you be interested in seeing more podcasts on offer at streaming services? Any particular kind?

TV has always glamorized characters, even those who weren’t supposed to be while denying jobs to people who look like what they are.

What does "normal people" mean to you when it comes to television? Which shows and/or characters succeed at portraying "the normal life"? And what are clichés that you dislike seeing about supposed normalcy?

Apple TV+'s For All Mankind spin-off, Star City, premieres on May 29. 

From the blurb: Star City is a propulsive paranoid thriller that takes us back to the key moment in the alt-history retelling of the space race — when the Soviet Union became the first nation to put a man on the moon. But this time, we explore the story from behind the Iron Curtain, showing the lives of the cosmonauts, the engineers and the intelligence officers embedded among them in the Soviet space program, and the risks they all took to propel humankind forward.

Name: Risa
Age: 37
Location: Northeastern USA
About Me: Hobbyist writer, mostly fanfiction. Participant in writing communities. Active on Dreamwidth, tumblr, and AO3.
About My Journal: It's a journal (18+ only!) I post about this and that.
What I Write: Fanfiction, poetry, some original stuff. Genres include Smut, Omegaverse, Mpreg, Yaoi, Romance, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, etc. I lean toward M/M(/M) romances most of all, but I have a friendly attitude toward female characters and F/M F/F ships, sometimes dabble.
What I Don't Write: I tend to avoid writing stories centered around characters younger than 25-ish now, because I'm not that young anymore, and I don't feel that young either, so it doesn't feel right at the moment, if that makes sense?
What I Read: Same as what I write, plus a smattering of books, both fiction and non-fiction. The field of psychology was most relevant to my interests back in college.
What I Don't Read: JK Rowling, anything I know is AI-generated, or any (auto)biographical/non-fiction work affiliated with right-wing thinktanks in my country still alive today.
Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: You can always ask, but my time is limited. I can probably only help edit/revise short works (fewer than 10K words, I would say.)
