A Lock With No Key: Designing Obstacles for OSR Play - Widdershins Wanderings

Painting Squigs While High on Mushrooms - Billion Dollar Clown Farm
Tyler is insane in the best fucking way. Let the residual chaos guide your creative pursuits.
Hive Scum Podcast
This is the best hobby podcast period. Go listen to the homies bullshit about Warhammer, RPGs, terrain building, and all kinds of other random stuff. Dudes have great chemistry and are my go to guys to throw on in the background if I am doing anything.
I hope these resources inspire you! If you haven't already, the best way to stay up to date with everything hothead related is to join the discord. See you next week!
