Friends newsletter: Master of None

I usually carry a notebook in my back left pocket so I can write down interesting things that I hear.  
Today’s newsletter is filled with the best stuff that my friends recommended recently.
Why you’re getting this: This is my Friends Newsletter. I send it to people I’ve met recently, my contacts on LinkedIn, and friends I want to keep in touch with. Feel free to unsubscribe and I won’t be offended.

Two episodes of note, via Ramit Sethi: Parent episode from S1, and Ode to New York from S2.
