summer reading, TV and music recs

What are you reading, watching and listening to these days? We’d love to get your best podcast/movie/TV/book recs for summer. Here’s what our editors and writers have been into…

Netflix Sprint review

“I’ve seen two great documentary series recently: Sprint which follows the fastest sprinters in the world, most notably my hero, Sha’Carri Richardson; Lance, a 30 for 30 production about Lance Armstrong. Even if you are sick of hearing the story of his disgraced career, you’ll be amazed by his telling of it. He regrets nothing. Very personal, utterly fascinating.” — Jenny

Everything I Know About Love Dolly Alderton

“After reading Dolly Alderton’s Big Salad issue, I fell head over heels for her and made reading all of her books one of my 2024 goals. I just started her memoir, Everything I Know About Love, and it is fun, addictive and voice-y. It perfectly captures all the messiness and excitement and heartbreak that comes with dating, trying to keep up with your friendships, and starting your career in your early 20s. Each chapter is filled with British slang and cheeky hijinks, which feel like a welcome treat after a day of work and parenting.” — Jannelle

The Staves

The Staves by Sequoia Ziff

“My cousins turned me on to a bunch of new music when we were in England; and three songs I’m especially liking are In the Long Run by The Staves, Hey Daydreamer by Neil Halstead, and It’s a Beautiful Thing by The Loose Salute. Always such a treat to add new bands to the looooong Spotify playlist the boys and I play at home.” — Joanna

Presumed Innocent Review

“My husband and I are also watching Presumed Innocent with the rest of the world. Super suspenseful (and slick in that David E. Kelley way) murder mystery — Jake Gyllenhaal is awesome in it. I read the book when it came out and saw the Harrison Ford movie however many decades ago and have completely forgotten who did it!” — Jenny

P.S. Our five most rewatchable movies and nine readers share their favorite books.
