To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis
ISBN: 0553575384
This is a comic mashup of Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K Jerome and Gaudy Night by Dorothy Sayers. It's another of the time-travelling Oxford historian series. This time, travelling to Victorian England. I had to put the book down to roll about laughing at several points.

The Aggrolites
Sara recommends The Aggrolites. Reggae music just puts me in my happy place. Particularly music from The Aggrolites. It's California Reggae/funk at it's best.
Make Me Smart Podcast
Make Me Smart is a podcast from the folks at APM's Marketplace, with hosts Kai Ryssdal (Marketplace) and Molly Wood (Marketplace Tech) dishing out relevant and in-depth conversation at the intersection of economics and technology. This is a great weekly podcast, but during the COVID-19 pandemic they have moved to make this a daily podcast, so there is up-to-date commentary on the economy, business news, and daily life as we move through these uncertain times together.
