How’s that for a title!
Hey gang, I figured it was about time for another #FridayFeed post, and I have a bunch of videos I’ve collected over the last few weeks that you may enjoy, so here’s your bit of weekend entertainment.
Hit me up in the comments and let me know your favorite. Leggo!

I’m a fan of Doctor Who (at least up until the current incarnation which is…not good). This video explores what may be one of my very favorite episodes of New-Who, featuring what is probably my favorite version of The Doctor from this era of the show). This may not interest you if you’re not familiar with Who, but it does provide a great analysis of how science fiction can be used to examine themes like loss.
I first saw Sam Perry on the Austrailian version of the TV show The Voice. This Beatles cover is stellar.
If there’s any possible way to redeem a Nickelback song, Alex Melton’s the guy to do it.
I loved this video about how lo-fi music works. It totally makes sense why I love it when I’m trying to pull a late-night work session.
Okay, one more Peter Capaldi clip because seriously, this dude just kills it as The Doctor. You don’t need context for this one, but I just love this monologue (one of the very few moments of the show that breaks the fourth wall).
You’ve probably heard the story of how Orson Welles’ Mercury Theater production of War of the Worlds created a nationwide panic. Well, the truth is…probably not that extreme. However, this retrospective of the broadcast and aftermath (from “Inside a Mind”) is fascinating and well worth your time, exploring a possible reason why that panic myth was spread.
And if you’re interested in listening to the WotW broadcast in its entirety, here you go:
Austin McConnell’s video on why escape rooms sometimes don’t work or aren’t done well is interesting (although he doesn’t give much in the way of recommendations for how to make them better). Still, worth a look if you’re into that.
POMPLAMOOSE / MOBY – “Extreme Ways” — SO. GOOD.
