Creative Curations: Our books and podcast picks for March of 2025.

You know that feeling when you find the perfect song for your vibe, a show so good you cancel plans, or a book that sticks with you long after the last page? Yeah, we live for that.

We all have those go-to favorites—the playlist that powers you through a Monday, the comfort movie you could quote in your sleep, or the podcast that somehow always gets you. These little gems aren’t just entertainment; they’re fuel for creativity, motivation, and let’s be honest, pure joy.

So, we’re sharing ours! The Showit team has rounded up our Creative Curations—the shows, music, books, and more that have inspired us, made us laugh, and kept us going. Whether you need a pick-me-up, a fresh idea, or just something really good to obsess over, we’ve got you.

March’s Best Music

Music is something we all connect with, and our playlists are as unique as we are. This month, here are three of our favorite songs, albums, or artists we can’t get enough of!

• When The War is Over by JOHNNYSWIM– “I’ve loved their music for years now, but I think this is their best yet. Their raw honesty and heartfelt storytelling are so good, almost like a warm cup of chicken soup on a rainy day. From battling depression to finding out about a long-term illness (and everything in between), every song connects with you on a deep level.”- Sarah from Marketing
• The World of Hans Zimmer- Part II: A New Dimension by Hans Zimmer, Odessa Orchestra & Friends, Gavin Greenaway- “Hans Zimmer is my top one Movie Scores composer. This double album features over two hours of music, transforming 17 of Zimmer’s most iconic film scores into new orchestral suites. If you love movie scores, you will love this one. It contains some of Zimmer’s most known and popular tracks.”– Sarah from Marketing

March’s Best Books

We love a good story—whether it’s on the page or in your earbuds. This month, we’re spotlighting three standout books and audiobooks that grabbed our attention with unforgettable tales, powerful authors, and narratives that linger long after the last word.

• The Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson – “It is a fantastic fantasy series with compelling characters, a unique magic system, and twists that will send your head reeling!”- Cole from Support
• The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson – “It is an immense fantasy series with exceptional worldbuilding and extremely deep characters who go through massive development.”- Cole from Support

• Exceptionally Bad Dad Jokes: So frightfully awful.. yet wonderfully spiffing. Vol II – “Who doesn’t love laughing.”- Keegan from Product
• The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster – “Darren talks about the ups and downs of owning/starting a business. I love that he talks about finding your passion, find your fight, find your strength, and knowing that this will be a ride that can be scary but also rewarding. I love his vulnerability of what it took to get to where he is at now.”- Monica from Billing
• The Illustrated Version of Harry Potter – “We recently have been reading longer form books with our daughter (7) and got her the first Harry Potter book, Illustrated edition.” – Kat from Marketing
• Through a Looking Glass Dimly: Recovering the Wonder of the Alice Books (Webinar) – “Alice in Wonderland is not just a guy describing an acid trip. It’s actually a profound argument for transcendence and an ironic joke at the expense of the praise of the “rationality” of the enlightenment.” – Caleb from BDOW

March’s Best Podcasts

• Raising Parents – “Just like in her book, (Expecting Better) Emily Oster uses data to tackle the deep, difficult, and urgent questions regarding parenting today.” – Jess from Marketing

March’s Best Movies/TV Shows

“I’m a dedicated fan of movies and TV shows—it’s my go-to for relaxing and having fun. I’m not into horror (like my mom would say: “Why would I voluntarily sit to watch something that’s gonna make me suffer if life is already hard work?”), but give me action, suspense, conspiracy, or a good rom-com, and I’m all in. Here are some shows I’ve loved or am really enjoying right now!” – Sarah from Marketing

• Paradise on Hulu – “A thrilling political drama starring Sterling K. Brown as a Secret Service agent who finds himself at the center of a presidential assassination. When the leader of the country is murdered in a seemingly perfect community, he becomes the prime suspect and must unravel a web of secrets to clear his name. With plenty of mystery, suspense, and unexpected twists, this show keeps you guessing. If you love high-stakes drama with a touch of sci-fi, this one’s worth a watch!“
• The Night Agent on Netflix – “A high-stakes thriller about an FBI agent who answers a late-night call and gets pulled into a deadly conspiracy. With spies, secrets, and nonstop action, it’s a wild ride full of twists. Seasons 1 and 2 are out now!”
• Silo on Apple TV – “A sci-fi mystery set in a massive underground bunker where no one knows the full truth. As one woman starts digging for answers, she uncovers secrets that could change everything. With mystery, drama, and dystopian vibes, it’s perfect for fans of Fallout and Snowpiercer! Seasons 1 and 2 are available now.”
