Welcome to My Newfound Obsession, a podcast about the things we’ve become obsessed with (and why) and all the things we've bought because of our latest obsession. We'll tell you if it's a waste of money or if it's totally worth it.
Not sure if Cossa is doing the Radiant Urban Sling he backed on Kickstarter any favors by describing it as an "oversized fanny pack." But he says if you hear what it can do and see for yourself, you'll be sold too. Items Reviewed: Radiant Urban Sling
Kevin talks about something that’s harder to come by during COVID-19 – computers. So people are building it themselves or buying it from people who can, like Kevin, who says it’s easier than building a complete Lego set.
Cossa and Clark talk about the pros and cons of furniture shopping online - in particular through Wayfair – and how it might be the best way now to get any furniture delivered to you in a timely manner (especially if you're looking for a patio set to enjoy for the summer at home!) with many furniture shops still shut down as a result of COVID-19.

We know great audio quality is important for podcasters, video game streamers on Twitch, and YouTubers. But with more people communicating more online, great audio quality is becoming a necessity even for everyday folks. Here's a primer on what you might want in a cheap but quality microphone for your computer. And we take a guess at which mic Drake would use at home (not really).

Baking has become an even more popular pastime as more people are staying home during this COVID-19 pandemic – and Cossa is a new baker himself.

And the one thing that's helped him make the best possible noodles is his new Kitchenaid Mixer, calling it a game-changer (multiple times.)
