# Enjoying Music
I write a lot about my music opinions and tastes here. I love music. It is apart of my everyday life and has been since I was a child. I was listening to old episodes of the podcast "Coretx" with CGP Greg where he admits to his co-host that he does not "enjoy" music. And while I knew these types of people were out there.

I use to watch british panel shows while working at a job I was pretty much checked out of, but those are easy to "miss a joke in" because they moved on in a minute or two to a new story/joke.
Since lockdown, I started listening to one podcast regularly, which is
