In “Scroll Dive,” a D1A team member grants us unfiltered access to the inner sanctum of their content consumption: their internet search history. Kick back, open a fresh tab and read on to hear why George Wilson, Associate Creative Strategist, has been getting into CD art, streaming NTS and upping his steak game.

OG CD Disc Art

Recently while working on a personal project, I was looking up CDs of different albums and fell down a wormhole obsessing over CD disc art. I just really love the detail people put into making unique CDs for themselves, especially back in the prime era of CDs. Any time I came across one, whether it was on Instagram or Twitter/X, I would save it to my Camera Roll. One of my favorites was this Saint Etienne’s “Smash The System” album, which I can’t wait to find physically.




Mastering Steaks

I swear, I liked a steak preparation video once and ever since then, my Explore page basically became steak heaven. Every day, I get caught up watching different steak meal preps, which usually just have me drooling at my screen. It lowkey put me in my cooking bag, though. I started really taking pride in mastering making different steaks. If you’re ever in Chicago and craving a steak, I got you (maybe).

NTS Radio

Honestly, I’ve become a sucker for NTS Radio. Really I got caught up on one of their IG sponsored ads featuring a radio station hosted by My Bloody Valentine, and from that, I’ve just been heavily on the app. I love all the different stations and mixes. One of my favorites is this Lovers Rock dive that has the singers of that time hosting and sharing stories. It feels like a fresher, different way for me to discover music.


Depop Deep Dives

Ever since I ripped my favorite track jacket, I’ve been on a nonstop hunt for a new one. I scour Depop every day, searching for the perfect replacement. It’s a great resource, even though now I feel like I have a Depop problem. Sometimes I’m on there just low-balling and bartering out of boredom, but I know it’s worth it (not really).



Sprite Chill

I love soda, and Sprite’s new Sprite Chill got me hooked. I would see people online mixing it into cocktails/mocktails, doing video reviews, making Reddit threads, all that. Any time I see it in a store, I grab it in insane amounts. A few months back, they took it away, which had me on a quest all over, but soon I found out the promotion was done. Fun fact though, I tweeted about it a bunch of times during that period (thinking of the nature of our job), and they brought it back, so I like to think I made that happen.
