What we’re listening to, watching, and reading right now.

March 8, 2026 Terrence O’Brien

There is so much art out there that it’s absolutely impossible to keep up. Whether it’s a slept-on post-punk album from the ’80s, a new sci-fi novel, or a cult classic horror movie, we’re always finding new obsessions here at The Verge — and we want to share those obsessions with you. Sometimes that might be a new release, but often it’s going to be something a little older, something not necessarily plastered all over TikTok or sitting at the top of the charts on Spotify.

We’ve said it before, but the best way to find new music, a new show to binge, or a self-help book that isn’t pure trash is to skip the algorithm and get a recommendation from actual humans. And it just so happens that The Verge employs a number of those (humans, that is). So checkback regularly for new art to fall in love with, and tell us about your latest obsessions in the comments. Maybe your new favorite album will become one of our new favorites, too.
