How to Lounge this weekend
From the new NetflixParty feature to Ologies, a podcast you shouldn’t miss, here’s Lounge’s take on making the most of your weekend
Missing hanging out with friends while bingeing on the latest “it” show? You can do it virtually with tech tools like Netflix Party, a Chrome extension that synchronizes video playback and adds group chat to Netflix shows—you can link up with friends and host long-distance movie nights. Similar extensions like Uptime, Vynchronize and Metastream work on other streaming platforms as well, helping you stay connected. —SL
Weird science for strange times
Could there be a better time to get hooked to a comedic science podcast? Ologies With Alie Ward is not only one of the best scientific resources for the eclectic and curious mind, it is also a deeply funny show. Over its more than 100-episode run, host Alie Ward, an award-winning science correspondent and host, explores the science and history behind “ologies” ranging from phonology (linguistics) to eschatology (the apocalypse), zymology (beer), ferroequinology (trains) and volitional psychology (procrastination). Come for one of the latest episodes, virology, with a special focus on Covid-19 and stay for potterology (wizard science), which gets into the science behind magic spells.—SB
Ologies is available on Stitcher, iTunes, Spotify and Google Podcasts
