    Personal Records Presents: HUM

    In this episode of Personal Records, Scott and Chris take a deep dive into HUM, the Illinois space-rock band behind You'd Prefer an Astronaut, Downward Is Heavenward, and Inlet. We talk about the band's massive guitar sound, sci-fi imagery, emotional weight, cult following, and why HUM still feels bigger than their mainstream reputation suggests. From "Stars" to Downward Is Heavenward to the band's unexpected return with Inlet, this is a conversation about a band that made heavy music feel atmospheric, strange, sad, and enormous. If you're into 90s alternative rock, shoegaze, post-hardcore, space rock, or guitar bands that sound like they're broadcasting from orbit, this one is for you. Personal Records with Scott and Chris is a music podcast about albums, artists, drafts, debates, and the records that stick with you. Subscribe for more album discussions, artist deep dives, music drafts, and lightly unreasonable arguments about records.

    Introducing The Fertility Expert: Egg Freezing, Perimenopause & GLP-1s Explained from The Tamsen Show. Follow the show: The Tamsen Show If you're thinking about egg freezing, IVF, fertility decline, perimenopause, or reproductive health, this is the conversation you need to hear before meeting with your doctor. In this episode of The Tamsen Show, Tamsen Fadal sits down with Dr. Jamie Grifo, Director of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at NYU Langone. Dr. Grifo helped modernize IVF as we know it, launched NYU's egg freezing program in 1999, and has spent 40 years giving women the science they were never taught. Today, he's sharing everything you need to know about your fertility timeline, your hormone shifts, and how to make decisions that are right for you. You'll learn: - Why your chance of getting pregnant at 40 is 2-3% a month, not 20% - The age fertility actually starts to decline (it's earlier than you think) - The 3 fertility tests every woman should know: FSH, estradiol, and AMH - What a low AMH really means (and what it doesn't) - Egg freezing vs. embryo freezing: Which is right for you? - Why 40% of infertility is male factor, yet women still blame themselves - What endometriosis and PCOS mean for your fertility - Why postpartum and perimenopause symptoms are so often confused - How GLP-1 medications may improve fertility and why they're leading to "Ozempic babies" - The biggest emotional difference between freezing your eggs early and going through IVF later If you or someone you love has been carrying questions about fertility, this is the conversation that finally answers them.

    The 1987 Album Draft

    Scott and Chris go back to 1987 for a full album draft. We started with a pool of 50 records released that year, then took turns selecting 10 albums apiece to build the strongest possible team. There are huge albums, questionable reaches, a few steals, and at least one pick that probably should have caused a brief suspension of the podcast. Watch the draft, check out both final teams, and let us know who won: Team Scott or Team Chris? The full pool of 50 eligible albums is listed below. Subscribe for more album drafts, rankings, debates, and very personal arguments about records.
