BINGE.

Gimme allll the shows about secret agents, spies, detectives and true crime. Fiction or non fiction. And documentaries. Plus really well-written shows. And things that make you feel good. So, here are some of my favorite binges. Movies not included because that’s a whole other set of standards and you don’t really binge a movie.

What am I missing?

A whole separate post over here about books …

… WHILE I HAVE YOU

I’m committed to finding reasonable ways to stop humans from being murdered by guns in the United States. I found these sources to be very informative, if you’re interested in exploring further. Tell a friend …

• GUN SHOW on the More Perfect podcast from NPR. It’s an eye-opening, shocking look at the history of the NRA.

• GUNFIGHT on Fresh Air, about how a gun-lover who worked for the NRA went to the other side.
