A shameless plug!

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger has A Lot Going On At The Moment - and has the tshirt to prove it. Jason's been Getting Things Done, even if his fridge broke. Things have been better in OTR land, but an episode was finally recorded! There's a lot of chat in this one because the mail bag was, as usual, excellent. In the work problems segment Inger plugs the new book she's written with Pat Thomson, Helen Kara and Aimee Grant... While the title is boring and the cover is ugly, she thinks the book is actually great. Rebecca sent us in a two minute tip and it's great! You'll have to listen to the end to hear it. Things we mentioned: Inger's Taylor Swift coded tshirtOTRT home page (to see our new logo)QPR conference (we're having a booth!)The new book "Managing your research project"Indyx App (Inger's wardrobe organisation app)Inger's expensive bootsAnd her expensive leather jacket comes from LeatheronInger's eBay pageFirst edition of How To Fix your Academic Writing Trouble (2nd edition out November this year)Hazel for the MacExample of a patched in ChatGPT image on Inger's InstagramThe Boring ConferenceSneeze Count paperGot thoughts and feel pinions?

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 about our travel episode and we are ready to hear it! In work problems, Jason brings Inger up to speed about Apple Intelligence and we have a chat about AI, privacy and the fact that Inger seems to be saving 12 hours a week by outsourcing to Claude... Jason had to go to coffee, so there was no time for mailbag, but if you have kids, stick around for a top tip about AI study buddies! Stuff we mentioned: Kaitlin Salze's omni focus website Trippit Apple intelligence video Blue Ribbon Foundation Style: 10 lessons in clarity and grace (so expensive! Library I reckon) (Inger's survey on academic work) Got thoughts and feel pinions? Want to ask a question?

If AI is the hammer, do we have the right nails?

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Jason has been living his best life, travelling NZ (where he did not touch boiling mud, as much as he was tempted to) and having excuses to eat pepper steak pies. Meanwhile Inger has been having a shit time at work and waiting for her puppy to arrive. After a confession during the mailbag segment, we hear all about Jason's star keynote at the ASPIRE conference, which led to... well, a bit of a rant on Inger's part at least. You get the picture!

Academic permafrost and the vital few

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! It's the last episode of On the Reg before Jason goes on #epictrip2021 but don't worry - Inger will keep the ship afloat with a guesthostapolooza until he returns. Before he leaves Jason just has a bit more marking to do as well as tricking out the Jeep. Inger is relieved her dislocated toe no longer looks like a balloon animal and that Thesis Whisperer Jnr will still put the seat warmers on in the Tesla when he picks her up from work. We are excited to announce the release of our first book together! We've written a 50, A4 page 'look book ' of TextExpander snippets to inspire you to automate some of your academic email life. You can buy the book from The Thesis Whisperer here. In the word problems segment, Inger reads 'The Culture Code' by Daniel Coyle and finds out all the starting conditions for teams to perform well are essentially missing in academia. She now plans to send the book to her Vice Chancellor, Brian Schmidt, so that he can get to work on fixing it! Jason read 'Essentialism' by Gary McKeown while standing in the queue to get vaccinated for 6 hours and was annoyed to discover that it only took Inger 2 hours to read the same book. Her dominance at competitive reading is now fully explained! We decided that it was a good book with lots of juicy nuggets, once you get past the first chapter. Jason has read a paper on Vaping and Inger owns up to being an ex-smoker who misses it, and is happy to get a contact high at parties. Meanwhile Inger has read a paper which measures how long academics go over time on conference talks and the results will - and won't - surprise you. Finally in our 2 minute tips, Jason has an app to make lists with and Inger has a quick way to make sure you don't go over time on your next conference talk (it's easy people!).

Emergency election typeface pod: 'The Balto conspiracy?'

Inger gathered the team for an emergency pod about Balto the 2013 typeface chosen for the Harris Waltz campaign. After one failed attempt – which tested Inger’s patience about kerning — we nailed it (although we may inadvertently start some new political conspiracy theories by talking about the adventures of a plucky Disney dog also named Balto, not to mention the problematic choice of Perpetua for Obama’s first campaign). Anitra talks too much about columns and typeface rubbings and Jason tries to take the higher ground, while Inger briskly moves us along. We then revisit past presidential campaign typeface choices, and argue about Optima. Finally we add to Trump’s growing list of indictments by pointing out he has also committed type crimes. Season two is coming up soon! In the meantime, you can go back and review season one so you get all our jokes about kerning. Stuff we mentioned Making Balto The new Trump Logo and the MAGA cap story McCain's Optima typeface story "Back to Font" is out now in English, German, and Spanish! Buy it on Amazon. It's got 5 stars! Visit our website thetypepod.org to see the show notes. #wehategoudy

Twitter is a hot mess - do we have to start Tootin' on the Masty now?

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Buckle up folks, this is a long one! It's been a big couple of weeks since Jason and Inger caught up. Inger went to Tassie and experienced crossing bass strait in gale force winds on the way back while Jason got rained on while camping and discovered 'Truckie Twitter' on the UHF band radio during an unexpected 2.5 hour journey home from work.... Oh, and Thesiswhisperer Jnr is now being paid to play with puppies at a pet store, which Inger and Jason agree is a great career choice and maybe one they should consider. There's a very full mailbag (17:23), with lots of nice feedback on our Obsidian episode and a speak pipe by friend of the Pod, Shainal - who is going to be car pooling with Jase now he's working at Latrobe too. Our work problem segment (26.37) is the big story of the week: The Big Twitter Meltdown. Inger and Jason dig in for more than an hour on the topic of tweeting/tooting while academic and it goes to a surprisingly reflective place. There's a discussion guide that will be helpful we think and talk of algorithmically shaped behaviours, soft power, vitality and server architectures constructing realists - even Erving Goffman gets a mention. Even if you don't Tweet or Toot, there's stuff to think about in here because online life is still real life and this Twitter ruckus has real world consequences, but if you are looking to make the jump of Twitter, Inger has lots of Thoughts and a few suggestions for getting started. Inger has been doing nothing but attending to the Great Twitter Migration, so Jason is left to do the honours with the reading section (1:52:06) and the 2 minute tip section, which features a bit of 'is this book b******t' talk and the problem of too much WIP. Look, this is a long one, so get down to some cleaning and gardening or a long walk!

Bottoming our way through pandemic lockdowns (with lavender mist and pills)

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger recorded this guestapooloza version of On The Reg just before Canberra was locked down... as she says in the pod "things might change before you hear this". Luckily her guest was Narelle Lemon from the Wellbeing Whisperer, who was able to impact many relaxation tips. Inger is crap at relaxing, so Narelle's suggestions were extremely helpful. The pair have a surprisingly intense conversation about sleep: how to fall asleep, stay asleep and annoy your partner with the pillow that must go between your knees when you have 'academic back'. Amongst other topics discussed are 'data knitting', the importance of the inner rebel, how to take a compliment, acupuncture and the online attention economy. In other words, this was a pretty typical episode of On The Reg, sans JD - but he does call from On The Road in Covid Free WA! Links Why you can’t escape the attention economy: All about sleep stages You may have heard that adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each night. But, the quality of sleep you get also matters.

Networking is more than nibbling wine and cheese (in a doomsday bunker)

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger has a guest host while @Jasondowns is gallivanting his way around Australia on #epictrip2021. Tseen Khoo (@tseenster) from the Research Whisperer Blog joins Inger to talk about a topic that gets them both fired up: networking. They share their networking tips and techniques, especially the stuff that works online during Covid times when the dreaded wine and cheese events are no longer available (hooray!). Inger reckons they are both pretty judgy about how networking is taught to researchers, but Tseen prefers to think they are 'discerning'. They share their tips for shy people who want to network, as well as musing about the burnt tire aroma of International Roast coffee and the reason their children don't know how to send actual letters. Inger has been reading a book about doomsday bunkers while Tseen has a couple of excellent newsletters scooped from Substack. We finish with 2 minute tips as usual, and include a bonus bit of Jason who phoned in from an underground cafe in Cooper Pedy.

'Good waste' and yak shaving

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! This week Inger is joined by Jonathan O'Donnell from the Research Whisperer as Jason is still away on #epictrip2021. Jonathan has given us lots of suggestions for On The Reg, so now is the time to talk to him directly! We start off talking about why innovation is hard inside universities, which have been fine tuned to avoid waste and increase transperency and accountability. This increases their sensitivity to risk. Sometimes the best way to get things done is through what Jonathan calls 'skunk works', which is exactly how Inger started Bootcamp at ANU. We travel over a lot of ground before we get to our reading segment. Inger has been reading Julia Banks' new book 'Power Play' and musing over 'Cognitive Flexibility'. Aside from reading about Anglo-Saxon history in the 900s, Jonathan has a fun read on the ridiculous morning routines of the influencer class and a fascinating article on 'ask vs tell' cultures, which can really help us work with others. There's a two minute tip about email that Inger is definitely going to try and a brief, but enlightening discussion about advanced Google searches - this episode has it all! Links: Potts, J. (2009).

Jason is back in The Matrix

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Jason just got back from 14 weeks driving around Australia on #epictrip2021! So it seemed like a good idea to throw him right into podcasting via a live key note for Australian Educational Podcast Conference 2021. The event was called "Planning for podcasting: dissecting the process", so we did a normal On The Reg... but with a time limit, in front of a live audience, while people watched the show notes scroll by... This wasn't at ALL anxiety provoking. We talk about the problem of Context collapse, why young people think about computers like they are laundry baskets and the benefits of meditation (yes, really) for the first 42 minutes. Then Narelle Lemon from Swinburne university interviewed us about the process of putting together an episode. We left this bit in! If you're interested in podcasting, we have a lot of tips and tricks for getting a show together, on the reg as they say!
