Summary

There are so. many. things. to watch these days. How do you choose what to see with your precious few viewing hours? That’s the topic of this episode… How to not be overwhelmed by the onslaught of entertainment choices we have. They say it’s the Golden Age of television—there’s more than any one person can watch. If you don’t want to spend your life in front of a screen, yet you do enjoy the occasional movie and TV show, how do you watch what you want to watch without it becoming an addiction, a time suck, or an attempt in futility? Co-host Kendra Adachi, smart lady of pop culture (among many other things), joins Tsh for this chat. It's a fun way to start this season of essentialism. Thanks to sponsor KIND Bars!

0:00.0	It's the Simple Show. You've got episode 89.
0:07.0	Hi, I'm Tish Oxen Rider.
0:09.0	And I'm Kendra Adachi.
0:10.0	And on The Simple Show, we talk about saying no and yes to the right things.
0:14.0	In this episode, we're talking about keeping up with all the TV and movies in the world.
0:19.0	There are so many great things to watch,
0:25.9	but no one can possibly see them all. How do we choose? What do we say no and yes to to keep ourselves sane? So before we get into this conversation, I want us to just quickly
0:31.3	talk about two things, a few little announcements. So the first one is that we have a new
0:37.2	Instagram account for the show.

1:08.5	It'll be like a giant party. There's not going to be a
1:11.8	meetup or a hangout afterwards. Some of y'all have asked, and I thought about it for a second, but you know what? I'm an introvert and there's going to be plenty of people time. So just come. And Kendra, you just did this in Raleigh. I did. Yeah, I did just do it. It was, it was so fun. Tish, you're going to have so much fun.
1:28.1	Oh, my word.
1:45.5	I cannot wait. I cannot wait. I mean, the podcast is one of our personal, both years of my favorite shows. So doing it live, I just can't even imagine. It's going to be great. So this new format of The Simple Show. We already talked about this in last week's episode, the season opener. But just as a reminder, this is what we're doing this fall.
1:44.9	We are talking about what this idea of essentialism looks like in our real
