If you can see it will depend on where you are but keep your eyes open for this Hindi-language documentary called All That Breathes.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nJulia: I\\u2019d like to recommend an Instagram account and that Instagram account is by the name of Hot Dads of Picture Books and it is what it says. It\\u2019s basically somebody curating pictures of smokeshow dads from picture books. I can\\u2019t attest to its future longevity but I appreciate its commitment to the bit.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nSteve: The wonderful Mimi Parker, drummer and vocalist of the band Low, has died. I really truly love their music so I\\u2019m endorsing both Low and their music but also very much the remembrance by Slate\\u2019s own Sam Adams. Low made this crazy, wonderful, spooky rock and roll music that I adore.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nOutro music: "Ruins" by Origo\\n\\xa0\\nPodcast production by Cameron Drews. Production assistance by Yesica Balderrama.\\n\\nIf you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.
