This is a collection of stuff I use and like, all in one place. I’ve included a link to where they appear in the show. The link even takes you straight to the time in the episode that features the item! Cool Eh?
Most of the links are Amazon Associate links which means if you buy anything at all on Amazon after following a link I’ll get a little commission. But I’ve also included links to other products I think are useful.
I’ll be adding stuff here regularly.
