Feb 24 2025 109 mins  
Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Longtime listeners who have been asking for Jason to read another romance novel: Inger has delivered! Jason reads Rebecca Yarros's 'The Fourth Wing' and only throws up a little bit in his mouth :-) After a bit of mail bag, we go deep on the subject of reading: how much of it there is; how tedious academic reading can be; how tire

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger and Jason have been on summer holidays. Jason's family acquired a 10 year old ginger cat, while Inger has committed to #puppyproject and put a deposit on a dangerously adorable, small fluffy puppy. Prepare for a lot of pet talk this year! In the mailbag there's a good description of a workflow with Todoist and a lively disc

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger and Jason catch up at the kitchen table... in Casa Downs this time. The sound on this one is ok, considering we were in a huge open space downstairs! While Jack Downs washes Inger's new car, she catches Jason up on the first Shut up and Write symposium at Cambridge University. Jason tells Inger why Jack Downs is happy to ea

Why that book about Bullshit Jobs is not, in fact, bullshit.

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Jason is dying of a cold. Inger is surrounded by an ocean of redundancies at ANU. Anyone would think winter was coming, but no - it's the start of Spring (at least here in the Southern Hemisphere). After a bit of mutual whingeing on the State of The World, the team zip through the mail bag. We answer a few burning questions about

The Kitchen Table sessions (volume one)

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! The OTR team have been travelling around the country, and around the world, delivering workshop goodness. Jason was temporarily at the Canberra Branch of OTR Team on the way back from a Sydney gig, so Inger set up a podcast studio from the kitchen table to hear about his glamorous post-Latrobe life, complete with $10 cups of coff

Is this book bullshit? Cal Newport discovers the labour movement

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! The On The Reg team have been busy with All The Things. In Jason's case, making salami and in Inger's case, possibly signing up to one too many book projects. In the mailbag we marvel over dashboards for packing lists and cool new AI tools recommended by listeners. This week Inger read Cal Newports's latest book 'Slow Productivit

The mean girl in the internet of things

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Jason has consciously uncoupled from his employer. Inger's getting a Volvo. There is clearly a lot to discuss in the first half an hour, including the survey that Inger finally has out (participate here!) Jason's had some time to wrangle the mailbag, so he's cleaned up Inger's mess and made a spreadsheet. People have a lot to say

The body keeps the score

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Jason is having some time off work to get his health back in order. Inger takes the opportunity to share the whole story of her burn out episode. Be warned, this one gets a bit heavy... We lighten it up in the middle by responding to Ben's question about travelling with a laundry list of suggestions and hacks. Inger confesses her

Trusting the Meat Computer

May 11 2024 122 mins  
Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger and Jason convene for the long awaited mailbag episode! (but first there's a bit of old-person whinging about health and other stuff). Inger explains how she and Narelle wrote a 36000 word book in a single weekend with Claude. The mail bag is full to overflowing! There's gold in there - which prompts a very wide ranging con
