Curious! My fellow creatives, what do you watch/listen to while you work? I find great comfort, oddly enough...watching/listening to Nightwatch, EMT response, or just in general true crime and emergency response videos/shows. I can really get in the zone while I have these going. What works for you? - ThreadSky

I used to listen to music like a normal person when I was younger. Now I mostly listen to my tinnitus and circuitous inner monologue 😂

Jokes aside, if I'm feeling "romantic": layering tabs of crackling fire, rain, + calm piano, etc. Or informative/science podcasts.

I actually been trying to watch/listen less while I work. When I do its because I am doing prep. Like organizing parts into trays.

I love listening to BandCamp musicians. I like stuff such as LMNC, Starset, Fight the fade, and Aviators. On occasion I listen to WHSPRS.

I don't know why but i'm most productive when I have MLP FiM in the background and i've watched the entire series way too many times at this point 😭

I mean if it works it works ig

I usually listen to music! Lately I've been listening to Old Gods of Asgard's Rebirth album while I work, but I change it up with game soundtracks or artists like Pink Floyd and Macroblank every now and then. I sometimes also listen to youtube videos, but that doesn't work as well, usually.

I used to listen to OSTs a toooon when I drew all the time. Its pretty rare I draw these days. Solid choices tho!

gmed.bsky.social•11 days ago

Similarly! I used to listen to OSTs a lot more when I was younger, but now I only have around 2-3 OSTs I cycle through if I'm feeling like it..

I usually put a TV-show on streaming. Varies a lot, but often something foreign and dubbed. The fact that the voice-work doesn't quite match the visuals is less annoying, since I'm not watching closely, and I've found some really interesting things that I probably wouldn't have watched otherwise!

I like the Planet Money podcast. It’s friendly and informative and repeating episodes stays interesting.

Also, often I just wear my head phones with nothing playing. I have over the ear ones and it makes me feel like I’m in a cozy cave.

Music, art streams, Critical Role, video essays, ASMR, nothing at all, it just depends what I'm in the mood for!

Lots of audiobooks: horror, fictionalized historical and nonfiction books on interesting topics
Lots of podcasts: scary stories, documentaries, true crime, and sociology stuff on things like cults and charlatans

I love long form videos about dinosaurs/the ancient past. PBS eons and Lindsay Nikole.

Same with history. I love Extra History’s vids.
