Five Things #111

Every Wednesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

  1. A good Longform Podcast interview with Bryan Fogel, the Oscar-winning director of one of my favourite documentaries, Icarus. If you haven't seen the documentary yet, watch it!

  2. These three-dimensional portraits of cats made of felted wool are amazing... and a little bit creepy.

  3. An interesting read on Google Translate and the World Cup“Over this last month or so, it has been possible to glimpse the future of how we travel: a world in which language is no longer a prerequisite for understanding.”

  4. The difference between amateurs and professionals.

  5. A fascinating episode of the After-On podcast on the evolution of beauty with Richard Prum. His book on the subject sounds really interesting.

That's all for this week. If you enjoyed it, subscribe and you'll get the next one delivered to your inbox.

Five Things #69

Every Wednesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

  1. Netflix's documentary thriller Icarus (available on Netflix) is one of the most gripping documentaries I've seen. Filmmaker and cyclist Bryan Fogel set out to make a documentary on doping in cycling and ends up uncovering the biggest doping scandal of all time. I highly recommend you watch it!

  2. Following on from Five Things #68, another mind blowing optical illusion!

  3. You make solid, rational decisions... right? 20 Cognitive Biases That Screw Up Your Decisions

  4. Brighten someone's day: Waves are free.

  5. This week's music recommendation is Haunt by Rival Consoles. If you like it, check out his album Howl (it's one of my favourite albums).
