We’ve been turning into an all-Google household. We both have Pixel phones, Pixel watches, Android TV on both our main TV set and a projector, and our Volvo EV runs Google Automotive Services as well.

That’s why we’ve been moving away from streaming radio stations, to YouTube Music and its suggested playlists, for most of our music listening.

Podcasts have been relegated to late-night kitchen cleanup and while doing the dishes. Recent favorites:

• OK Jazz, an eclectic mix of great music from all over the world, hosted by James Catchpole out of Yokohama.
• If Books could Kill, great takedowns of popular self-help and other books with questionable objectives.
