The Workplace Geeks keep on trucking, despite their third UK workplace event in three weeks! And this time for something a bit different. Chris and Ian are in conversation with Julien Capraro, researcher, writer and director of National Film Board of Canada documentary, Work Different. The episode is a great counterpoint to the last one with Nick Bloom, essentially taking the same topic of hybrid and remote work, and exploring it from a completely different perspective: Nick using data, evidence and academic outputs, and Julien using peoples' stories and accounts to bring the topic to life in a beautifully crafted visual narrative.

Work Different tells the story of remote working through the voices of a wide range of advocates and critics, exploring the forces influencing its development pre, during and post pandemic. Along the way viewers meet the OG of teleworking (as remote working was originally termed way back in the mid 1970s) Jack Nilles. If you don't know anything about Jack then make sure you also listen to Workplace Geeks episode 4 from season 1, where Chris and Ian also had the privilege of spending some time discussing his work.

Once you've listened to Julien and Chris and Ian's reflections on investigative journalism, storytelling and emotional engagement, you can also watch the documentary for free!

Drum roll... Workplace Geeks is back! After four workplace event specials, it's time to kick off season 3 in earnest. So in the first full conversation for quite a while, Chris and Ian are delighted to welcome Professor Nick Bloom to the show. If you've heard a credible statistic in the mainstream media about working from home or hybrid working since early 2020, the chances are it was from, or informed by, work that Nick has been involved with. He's the William D. Eberle Professor of Economics at Stanford University in California, and collaborates globally and prolifically.

Now, the Geeks have always wanted Nick on the show (Dr Pinder suggested it before the show even launched) but it was their interview with Jack Nilles (S1E4) that swung it. Nick got in touch to say how much he'd enjoyed the episode... then joined the dots with Jack... and now here Chris and Ian are with Nick. What a lovely global workplace community! Ahhh, bless...

The discussion, actually recorded in November 2023, centres around a paper by Barrero, Bloom and Davis called 'The Evolution of Work from Home', published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives (Fall, 2023). But along the way the discussion references a range of work informing Nick's subject expertise. So remember to boost your knowledge about this topic after you've had a listen, by exploring the many links in the show-notes below.
