My friend Jake joined a planner meetup at Barnes & Noble after our library canceled its sessions.

How young do you think kids can start with that? It actually sounds smart because they get to feel like they're doing real work, not just playing. My cousin did something similar by letting her son weigh out spices for their rubs. He still talks about it years later.

Tried the library thing once, but I returned the books three months late and owed more than my streaming bill.

I like @miles_burns idea, labels help sort the noise.

When you say "once you know what good audio sounds like," that really hits home. What was the moment you first picked up on how bad some of these spots are? Do you think stations just don't care because the ads keep getting played anyway? It's wild how something so simple can be messed up so often. Is it a budget thing or just laziness?
