I don’t really care about what podcasts people find interesting. That is somewhat interesting as I ask people about their favourite movies, books, restaurants, travel destinations, 90s sit-com, academic papers, paintings, Twitter users, etc. all the time. There is just something about podcasts that I do not care about. If anything, I enjoy talking more […]

Breaking Bad bliver bedre #2
For små ti år siden skrev jeg et indlæg med den pointe, at Breaking Bad bliver bedre over tid. Jeg skrev det pågældende indlæg før serien var afsluttet, og det er derfor på sin plads med en lille (forsinket) opdatering. I nedenstående tabel viser jeg de gennemsnitlige IMDb ratings for de fem sæsoner. Der er […]
Meetings are bad because they are meetings
I was reading a blog post by Tyler Cowen with his reflections on why meetings often are so bad. There are several good explanations and interpretations offered in the post and the comments. Here is my summary/interpretation of why meetings often are bad: Negativity bias. Good meetings are easy to forget because they are relatively […]
Frasier #2
In 2020, I wrote a post about my IMDb ratings of all episodes of Frasier. Since then, my great friend Knud rewatched the show and also rated all episodes on IMDb. When we both watched Seinfeld back in 2017, I compared our ratings and identified some trends and similarities in our ratings. For that reason, […]

Correlation and causation with Friends
There has been a lot of talk about the TV show Friends in 2021, especially related to the reunion of the cast. I have written about the show before (in Danish), and while it is not a show that I am going to watch again anytime soon, there are a few scenes that might be […]
Min Top 50 – Dansk rap #2
I 2010 skrev jeg et indlæg med mine 50 yndlingsnumre inden for dansk rap. Der er uden tvivl numre på listen, der ikke ville finde plads på en lignende liste, skulle jeg lave den nu. For slet ikke at tænke på de numre, jeg knap nok kan genkende eller huske i dag. I stedet for […]
Gode serier #2
I 2010 skrev jeg et indlæg med anbefalinger til gode serier. Det er interessant at se listen igen, især da der er serier, der ikke længere hører til på en liste over mine yndlingsserier. Med andre ord har mine præferencer ændret sig i løbet af det seneste årti. Ikke desto mindre har jeg ingen intentioner […]
