1. Very cute haircut. 2. Loving the indie Korean music recommendations! 3. "What the fuck is this??" lololololl 4. I feel you about the books. I do that with tv shows and movies too - I just can't get myself to read or watch something until I feel it ~calling to me~ (if that makes sense). 5. True crime is amazing. I'm a big fan of Buzzfeed Unsolved, which can be pretty ridiculous sometimes but the YT episodes are only like 10 minutes long so you can get through them quick. 7. I love your "day in the life" videos. It's so fun to see all the places you go. :)

Unsolved Murders: True Crime Stories is my favourite podcast at the moment! 👌☺️ They've got so many episodes up (88 for now, all about 40 minutes in length).

Also: I believe BBC did a special tv production of "Death on the Nile" a few years ago (it's also Hercule Poirot, if I remember correctly?), if you're interested in checking that out. Another book that I've also been wanting to read is this true crime memoir called "I'll Be Gone in the Dark" which is about the wife of comedian Patton Oswalt, who died suddenly whilst researching/writing for this book, which was about the Golden State Killer. She apparently had done copious amounts of research and made a website to organize it all, and when she died, the investigators working with her on it helped finish/publish the book. It sounded interesting when I read about it in the paper, and thought it might be up your alley.

For true crime podcasts, I listen to True Crime Garage. Those guys go really in-depth with the crime and it can end up being a a two-part or four-part episodes. I've also gotten into Real Crime Profile. It's has an FBI profiler and an criminal behaviorist from New Scotland Yard and they have really great discussions on the crime and expert insight. I learn a lot from them. The minisodes from My Favorite Murder also takes away the chatting. They go straight to the story.

Generation Why is pretty good. They don’t overdo it either.

I have Agatha Christie in paperback. Then they brought out hardcovers in original print. I got those. Then I decided I needed them in kindle format too because I cannot carry a whole set of books around with me. At the moment I am reading James Patterson's Confessions #4 The Murder of an Angel and Tarun Shanker's These Vicious Masks and Houpt's Museum of the Missing. I always have more than one book going at a time because I never know my mood by the end of the day.

I too have an obsession with Agatha Christie books. I just absolutely LOVE her. I have all of her Marple Books and am a little over halfway done collecting the Poirot ones. I also love the TV series. Have you watched them?

@betsywilliams3666

6 жыл бұрын

I totally understand, I tend to space out with podcasts. So I come and go. That is why I also recommended from KZread Murder with Friends.

I totally get what you mean by "right time" for a book. Sometimes it takes me months to actually read a book that I put on my reading list. But you feel when the time's right, and then you enjoy the book even more and it really resonates with you. At least that's my experience :-) Did you read "Out" by Kirino Natsuo?

If you are interested on podcast and want to practice Spanish, can I recommend you "perdón por el spanglish?". It revolves around the lives of two friends: imagine listening to them conversing when they reunite every week. They are both mexican: Fa is a booktuber and Sofi is a lawyer. They talk about their lives (their families, boyfriends, dogs and other animals) but they also talk about Fandom (BTS, Taylor Swift, books, painting, Turkish dramas, chismes their audience send them about their lives) and social happenings in Mexico and other places that are relevant to talk about in that week (like feminism in Mexico and the hell that us as women have been through mostly in the last couple years). I think you'd like them. It's also interesting because they, as the title says, speak spanglish all through it. I'm not sure if they have subtitles. If you decide to listen to these amazing ladies, I hope you enjoy it!

oh I love true crime! it's so creepily addicting? like its horrific but oddly fascinating to listen too when I draw I always have like those "top 5 strange murders" or "top 10 murders with strange video evidence" videos playing haha black tapes is a pretty good podcast! it's a fake podcast? if you know what i mean like fake story but pretend real podcast??? i think thats what i mean anyway and the first season is kind of eh but it gets really good further into the story

Wow a Rock Horror poster lol never excepted to see one of those in Korea

But there are really good tech-ed out science-based pollution masks available from like 3M and other companies.

kristian arismendez It's called "비행운 Contrail" by Moonmoon. It's my personal favorite and I use it as a lullaby. Due to your BTS comment, I would say you know it from when Jungkook shared about it! It's very lovely. ☺️

Also, I started listening to Small Town Murder which is the vulgar and slightly politically incorrect (or insensitive idk) older brother of murder podcasts. I'm not sure if I would personally recommend them but I definitely liked them better than MFM. Nothing will ever beat Serial for me though, did you ever listen to that or the one that came after? Do you have any other podcast recs? Your hair looks amazing! I hope the dust clears soon!

I also didn't like My Favorite Murder

So I finished my book that I brought with me to Korea while I was there "Alys, Always" not crime or mystery but still very intriguing characters should I say. Anyways I'm glad I left before the air quality got worse. I already couldn't take the air pollution while I was there...sorry!

Good to know that there are other genre (rock) of music in Korea besides K-Pop. I'll check out the links on your description later. But here in the U.S., it seems like rock music in general is dead and J-Rock has taken over. And the three J-Rock acts that has blown up in the U.S. are all fronted by women *thumbs up* The founder of this act worked at a maid cafe in Japan: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKR1u9CPerufc7w.html Heck, I got their latest album directly from Japan because it comes with a blu-ray/DVD of one of their live concerts. The other two act are Babymetal and Scandal (not to be mistaken for the 80s Scandal).

I watched footage of a Babymetal concert in NYC taken by someone with a phone. And all I saw and heard were people screaming their heads off and moshing. And yeah, Babymetal were performing somewhere I guess. hahaha!! It was INSANE!

I had to google who this person is hahaha!!!! So she's basically Babymetal but without the metal eh? I guess J-pop is getting popular in the U.S. also. I also read about some J-Pop acts like Kyary Pamyu Pamyu but instead of a live person, it's a freakin' HOLOGRAM??? Obviously there is a real person behind the voice (I hope?). But for a live concert, there's a actual hologram projected onto the stage. I read about this a while ago so I'm not sure if that's still a thing anymore in Japan.

KPOP(by idols) is not a good representation of Korean popular music in general..we have varieties of music and they are so much better than what it is known as Kpop today.

I am very very sure I subscribed to your channel some time ago, but now I realised, that I was not! THAT is really strange… Now, I don't know if I should trust my memory or KZread… Anyway, subscribed, the video was pretty good as always. Thanks!

Last Podcast on the Left is amazing BUT they are comedians however they go very in depth on serial killers and mass murders. They are not for the easily offended though. Real Crime Profile and Dirty John are good. I listen to A LOT of podcasts at work. I've become very picky because some are so airheaded that once they start getting simple facts wrong, I'm out.

The guy on it writes for Criminal Minds and has worked in the Behavioral Analysis Unit at the FBI. So its nice to know you are getting professional knowledge.
