By the way, I should give an update about my Chromecast experiences.

A while back, I posted here about how miserable my Chromecast experience was. About how I would constantly get drops and other weird behavior. Well, as far as I can tell it looks like they've ironed out a lot of the kinks. I don't think I've had those problems lately at all (*knocks on wood*). Hopefully they're a thing of the past.

Since my last post, I've gotten a Google Home, which sits on my Kitchen windowsill. We play music on it almost every day, whether its the local classical radio station (played through TuneIn with "Hey Google, play WETA"), or a Raffi playlist for my toddler. We also have a Chromecast Audio plugged into speakers hidden above the cabinets on the opposite side of the kitchen. I have a Cast group called "Kitchen" that includes the Home and the Chromecast Audio, so "Hey Google, play Raffi in the Kitchen" surrounds us with pleasant Canadian kids' music. Or, we play "Don't Bring Me Down" because my son loves it
