These are a few of my favourite things

I used to store my favourite TV Shows and what not in a notes app on my phone, for when people ask for recommendations. I guess putting them on my site makes that easier.

For now this list just has TV Shows, Movies and Podcasts. Eventually I could expand this to books, cookbooks, recipes, content creators, kitchen knives. The possibilities are endless.

Podcasts — 08

  • Accidental Tech Podcast

    Accidental Tech Podcast

    Since 2013

    If I had to pick one podcast to be my all time favourite, this would have to be it. It's not so much the technology aspect of it, but the friendship between the hosts. I've been listening to these guys talk at least once a week ever since I was in high school.

    I still remember smiling ear to ear when I was listening to an episode on the flight on the way back from Melbourne to Jakarta when I heard John address a piece of feedback I sent in. _(this episode at the 53 second mark)_

  • Connected

    Connected

    Since 2014

    Similar to ATP, the Connected boys have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. They've been with me through so much; my first solo trip, setting up my new life in Australia, moving back to Indonesia, countless long drives to work.

  • The Grey NATO

    The Grey NATO

    Since 2025

    A different kind of nerdery than I was used to, but one I embraced fully. Travel, adventure, diving, driving, gear and most certainly watches. What's not to love.

  • Design Details

    Design Details

    Since 2014

    While I don't listen to Design Details anymore, it was a super influential part of my life.

  • Does Not Compute

    Does Not Compute

    Since 2015

    I'm sad this show ended, but I'm grateful for the inspiration it gave me while I was at university.

  • The Ringer NBA Show

    The Ringer NBA Show

    Since 2017

    The Ringer NBA Show was in it's prime back in the day of Sources Say, Heat Check. While Group Chat is still decent, I miss the good old Ringer days.

  • The Mismatch

    The Mismatch

    Since 2017

    I'm glad the Mismatch is still around. Great basketball coverage, but also peak comedy.

I watch enough movies and TV that they leak into everything else. My computers, phone, AI helpers and side projects nearly all borrow a name from something on screen. Here's the decoder.
