What thing do you love that you can never get anyone else to check out?
What thing do you love that you can never get anyone else to check out?
Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one's ever gotten into?
I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I've never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don't know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.
So what can't you get people into and why should we check it out?

I prefer to stick to FireFox, thanks.
I feel like all of the arts are that way. You can either put yourself in the mindset to be receptive of them... or you can't.
But I've had many enriching experiences by taking a chance on art forms and genres I never supposed I would like, including those I had some bias against.
Getting into Klaus Nomi has made me reconsider my stance on opera, but I have no idea where to begin
A good way to begin is to watch a popular classic favourite opera like La Traviata or La Boheme, with subtitles, and review the plot summary ahead of time
