My daughter L listens to a particular bedtime story podcast in the same podcast app that I use, which carries a risk of her accidentally listening to a confusing and frequently obscene spoof agricultural podcast instead.

Any recommendations for an Android media player for a local directory of podcast mp3s?

Speakers of languages which do not use the Latin alphabet: if you were looking at my app in your app store, would you hope to see my name transliterated?

People say the gateway drug effect is “without conclusive evidence”, but to them I say: witness my rapid progression to higher orders of 2ⁿ-rdle (Wordle, Dordle, Quordle, Octordle, and now Sedecordle).
I book a blood donation appointment about every 3 months, and with very high probability something always seems to come up at the last minute to stop me: deadly plague, vaccine against deadly plague, donation centre shut down with 3 days notice, but most often a general cold (as this week). Do I cause more harm than good by postponing 90% of appointments with 1-2 days' notice?

I've had a balalaika for 7 years and Spotify has finally surfaced something relevant to this interest
