So you’ve just finished a new favourite TV series, or perhaps it’s the strange mourning feeling you experience after finishing a particularly good book and you’re reluctant to dive into anything else, what do you do?
Here are our ideas for side-track entertainment.
- Podcasts:
Whether you’re on the move, in the kitchen or just lazing around a podcast can be an excellent accompaniment. There are so many on a huge variety of topics to name but a few; Nerdist provides excellent free flowing interviews with a variety of people always funny and the long format gives you way more than a chat show format, Mark Kermode And Simon Mayo’s Film Reviews up to the minute film reviews balanced by each other’s opinions and the repartee between the two is a great draw. And a personal recommendation is Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast, Bill Burr is an exceptional comedian and every Monday he uploads a free podcast (As well as checking in on Thursdays) he chooses topics from the news and his own personal interests with digressions all over the shop. It startles me how he can be so funny throughout in every single upload; I implore you to check him out.
- YouTube Channels
Instead of delving back into an entire TV series run, YouTube channels are the ultimate in “dip in” viewing providing entertainment without obligation. Whether you’re after a broad interest YouTube personality such as Zoella, or informative and humorously hosted car modification from Mighty Car Mods, or perhaps your interests lie in comic book illustration VZA [Visual Zen Advocate] there are hundreds to choose from with countless hours of content.
- Casino Apps
The advent of casino styled apps has really begun to take off, now in one app a variety of games can be hosted and you can download and play for free with the option to win real money. At one time only played in particular venues you can now play anywhere including from your sofa. You can choose here for no deposit casino with VIP Club Casino. Card games like poker are available like in this app World Series of poker however no real money can be won but can be spent via in-app purchases.
- Tutorials
Okay so we mentioned YouTube channels but tutorials are more one-off viewing and let’s face it only one site really rules the user created video content game. So whatever your inquisition a quick search on YouTube will reveal tutorials in; Make-up, hair styling, taking free kicks, juggling or even solving a Rubik’s cube.
- Karaoke
Bespoke apps for karaoke such as Yokee provide an easy and free way for you and friends to belt out and butcher all of your favourite songs. While some of these apps are great when we asked about karaoke most people actually meant turning up their favourite songs and whipping out a hairbrush or air guitar. Either way, it’s a great way to feel good and jazz up your evening.
