Have you tried looking into podcasts instead of shows for this? I heard a lot of the good ones like Cold or Your Own Backyard just use interviews and news clips with zero actors, so it feels more like someone telling you the story straight. The reenactment stuff kills it for me too, so those might be more your speed.

Funny how the worst advice always comes from someone who's "never had a problem." That's the same energy as my uncle who says he's never worn a seatbelt and turned out fine. Bet that ramper's old shop had a stack of deferred comm squawks nobody ever connected to those wicks.

Kind of a small thing but I don't think the paper and digital ones stacked the way you're describing... at most stores the app coupons and the paper ones come out of different buckets, so the register takes them one after the other, not combined into one discount. Aldi is actually one of the harder ones for that because a lot of their digital deals are store specific and won't work with a manufacturer paper coupon on the same item. So the $11 plus $6 might've been on different things, not truly stacked on the same products. Not saying you didn't save money, just that it probably wasn't double dipping like it sounds.
