All-time favorites... (movies, shows, books, music)
I typically don’t spend my time watching movies or TV shows unless I’m catching up on the latest Dateline or re-watching the show Friday Night Lights. When it comes to reading, I tend to gravitate toward non-fiction books about real-world events and history, and I love reading poems as well as writing them. Above all is my love for music; I’m never not listening to music – pop, rock, indie rock, alternative, and my Spotify Wrapped tells me I love the “Midwest emo” genre year after year.
Other than kshb.com and KSHB 41 News, you get your news from….
I listen to NPR’s Up First podcast every morning and look into current events through various outlets.
