Welp, it happened to me.

Just like in the movies, I’ve gotten myself stuck in a time loop.

Every morning, my Incipio Alarm Clock goes off and I wake up to find it’s March 16th all over again. There’s a mysterious text from an ex demanding we talk about something really important, and a warning from my weather app about an unexpected late winter blizzard on the way.

I think maybe I’m supposed to solve a crime before it happens. Or learn an important lesson about myself. Or fall I love. Honestly, I don’t know. I’ll figure it out eventually. For now, I’m mostly just using the unlimited time to catch up on podcasts.

Seriously, I’ve been here for a few months, and I’ve barely gotten through all the true crime podcasts concerning murders that happened in Florida. And when I need a break from all that death, it turns out every comedian has a podcast too. History. Sports. Science. Thanks to some marine biology pods, I know more about jellyfish breeding than I know about my own family members at this point!

And it’s easy. I just pair my phone with the Incipio and then find a podcast. The audio quality is totally solid. If my phone starts to die, no biggie! It can charge it with the Incipio!

Sure, it gets annoying sometimes. Like when the increasingly frantic texts and calls from my ex interrupt my listening. And then there’s the whooshing of the blizzard. The internet goes out at around 4:30, so I have to remember to download my episodes in the morning.

On the other hand, there are some benefits beyond the obvious excess of time. Like, for example, I dropped about $50 on a subscription to a podcast network that only produces shows concerning brie cheese. The next morning, that money was right back in my account!

Anyway, it might be worth investing in one of these Incipios yourself, even if you’re not stuck in a time loop like me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to listen to episode three of this podcast about tax evasion among the Amish. It’s really fascinating stuff!
