Two perfect podcasts to kick off your October

Podcasts for October Listening: Unobscured and Wild Thing

NEWS – October is my favorite month of the year. Perhaps it’s because of the crisp, fall weather, or maybe it’s because the tenuous veil between our world and the unknown becomes, for a brief moment, seemingly paper-thin.

In the spirit of ushering in the changing of seasons, I submit to you, readers, a pair of podcasts suited for warming up a mug of cider and listening to in a darkened room.

Unobscured

Aaron Mahnke, of the wonderfully macabre Lore series, takes us on a series-long deep dive of one specific topic in this new podcast. In season one, unwrap the often-forgotten details in what made the Salem Witch Trials such a dark and misunderstood period on our nation’s history.

Wild Thing

Laura Krantz, veteran producer and public radio editor, discovers her connection with a distant relative … a tenured professor of anthropology and renowned Bigfoot expert! Explore the stories, evidence and enduring fascination with Sasquatch.

Rekonect has a notebook that has re-arrangeable pages

NEWS – The Magnetic Notebook from Rekonect has pages that can be removed, rearranged, and reinserted without damaging the notebook.  Rekonect has a magnetic spine to firmly hold pages printed with a stripe of patent-pending iron ink.   You can easily remove a page to print on it, photocopy it, or scan it.  No more trying to flatten out a notebook to get a readable scan of what’s on the page.

The hard-sided notebooks have rare-earth magnets in the spine and a polyurethane cover; an elastic band keeps the notebook closed.  The 5.5” x 8” notebook comes filled with 110 pages (55 sheets) of college-ruled lined paper.  Once you’ve used up all the pages, you can replace the paper with a refill pack of either lined or blank pages.

The Magnetic Notebook from Rekonect is available with a black, gray, or blue cover for $29.95 each.  Paper refills are available for $8.95 each.  Purchase the Rekonect Magnetic Notebook from The Grommet.
