Published: Sept. 6, 2020, 7 p.m.

On the menu today we have three delicious podcasts to fill you up with knowledge and enjoyment. Zane looks at what the apocalypse could look like with Ashes Ashes; Liz finds a pod that helps you through heartbreak in a sweary, care-y way with F*ck Off And Die; and Nick indulges his passion for filmmaking with the podcast full of Hollywood heavy hitters Team Deakins. Then gather round children, for the reviews from last week's ep. Liz Recommends: F*ck Off & Die https://www.fodbook.com/the-podcast/ "F*ck off and die is a crude cosmic hug for anyone going through heart break. It features activities, kinda loosely backed by science, designed to make you feel instantly better. Made by Sarah Robinson and Jade Foo, in a lounge room in Perth Western Australia." It comes from a book written by the gals, that aims to help you, or your mate, through the fucked up first month of a break up. “It’s not meant to inspire you or elicit wild meditation regimes. Our only desire is to get you through that fucked up first month, and into the mother fucking light.” The girls talk about breakup and heartbreak issues while falling back on the wisdom of their book. It’s sweary, it’s care-y, it’s Liz in podcast form.  For both: Pick a topic that sounds fun to you. https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/f-ck-off-and-die/id1498920296 Nick Recommends - Team Deakins Cinematography buffs, this is for you! The Team Deakins podcast is an ongoing conversation between acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins and James Deakins, his collaborator, about cinematography, the film business and whatever other questions are submitted. For both: take a pick! https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/team-deakins/id1510638084 Zane Recommends - Ashes Ashes https://ashesashes.org/ Ashes Ashes is a show about systemic issues, cracks in civilization, collapse of the environment, and if we’re unlucky the end of the world. The name is borrowed from the nursery rhyme “Ring a Ring o’ Roses,” a song that children sing while spinning in a circle before collapsing on the floor in heaps of laughter. Some claim that the lyrics were written in response to England’s Great Plague and Black Death, and the line Ashes! Ashes! We all fall down is interpreted as death and the cremation of bodies. Although apocryphal, this interpretation is fitting for our times. While human civilization owes its existence to the unimaginable wealth that nature freely provides, our current growth trajectory is increasingly being fueled by the direct erosion of biodiversity, ecosystem services, cultural heritage, and more, effectively cannibalizing our future for the sake of short-term “progress.” For Both:  Ep 44, Ep 34, Ep 31, Ep 28, and Ep 23. Fan favorite: Ep 63 https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ashes-ashes/id1329230965?mt=2
