“I LOVE jumping aboard the bus with Inger and Jason. I especially like how they talk about 'driving the bus' - a cogent metaphor for steering the conversation. Their rapport is top notch, balancing curiosity in each other's 'feelpinions' with mutual respect for intellectual...”Read full review »

“This is the perfect podcast for academics. Full of practical tips and hints, this is the kind of podcast that I would be happy to get stuck in Sydney traffic listening to.
My only complaint?
Its too short.”

“Dear Inger and Jason,
I listened to several episodes today on the way to and from the conference and constantly had a smile on my face. Wonderful show!

“From words like feelpinions and chatty-g, from obsidian and bullet journalling, from Tinnies up a river to a cafe(🤷🏽♂️?), and onto academic shortcuts, hacks, and text expander tools, this has pod has taught me so much. It also makes my omnifocus/productivity obsession seem slightly less weird...”Read full review »

Lifesaving tip 1: Inger’s routine for finishing her final edits of her thesis while working full time, starting with 1 hour per night up to a maximum of 2.

Whilst it is about working in academia, it is not just for academics but for anyone who works a busy job where they need to balance thinking and doing time. It regularly makes me laugh out loud...”Read full review »
