4 Working

What does it take to make the Internet scale? Lisa talks about her time at Twitter and killing the Fail Whale. Remote work challenges way before the pandemic, a dirt floor data center and Tin Whistle murder. Internet utopia and being a dark skinned woman in a white-male dominated field. All that and an eternal Scottish plumbing metaphor for Twitter capacity. Lovely stuff.

3 The depth of a life

'She was bright, she was funny. She was articulate and eloquent, I think, in her speech and in...one of the most important things to her in her life which was singing. She had an amazing voice, so if you knew her for very long, you definitely heard her sing.' This week, the story of Rene, Lisa's mom.

2 'It pretty much feels like it's all over, this COVID thing.'

The Lisa Phillips Podcast - talking about serious stuff and laughing. Mostly. Episode 2, and you're still here! Awesome! This week we revisit our chat from July 2020, a time of innocence when the world was...just as screwed as it is now. We talk a red arm as a sign of COVID immunity; how being five months deep in a pandemic looks when you're seventeen months deep; social isolation and the fear of a lonely death. And what we knew then and know now about ourselves and where we're at.

1 The circle of life and the straight line of shittyness.

The Lisa Phillips Podcast. What's it all about? Death, staring into the abyss and laughing. Tattoos are so OVER. Losing It. Depression, therapy for depression and 'this unending road of the way that you feel.' Super mysterious tech jobs, priests, and a seminary draft dodger. And who not to take advice from. (Clue: it's us.) And that's just Episode One. What's not to love?
