“This is my only review of a podcast, despite actively listening to dozens. Yes, it is that good.
The podcast is geared towards graduate students and professors in higher education who are looking to remain productive, healthy and engaged with their disciplines and their students. Far too often, graduate programs fail to prepare candidates with the necessary skill sets to effectively manage the tsunami of information and requests that are part and parcel of academia. My own Ph.D. training, while excellent in terms of my field of study, did little to prepare me for the realities of faculty service work, using technology to assist and manage academic output, managing the certification and accreditation issues for programs and providing practical tips on how to manage large class sizes without. This area is where On The Reg steps in to help.
Inger and Jason have a wonderful rapport, and the first twenty to thirty minutes of each podcast feel like you are eavesdropping in on a conversation with two good friends. That in of itself is fun to get caught up on the developments in their respective lives, but where this Pod really sings is providing tips on how to keep your head above water as an academic, how to remain productive so that the 'extra' time gained does not get re-invested back into your work. Suggestions are practical, results-focused, and avoid all the toxic positivity usually associated with empty, upper management adages like 'work smarter, not harder.'
Much of the podcast is technology-focused, with applications such as Omnifocus, Obsidian, Text Expander, and Timing taking a prominent role. That said, there are also tips for techies and non-techies alike. If you are an academic who is wondering if there is a better way to do things, this podcast is for you. I recommend episode 2023-10-15, 'The Meat Grinder,' if you are feeling despondent about the state of higher education. You are not alone.”Read full review »

“I don’t usually use Apple podcast app downloaded it especially to record this review because On the reg is that good. You might think that two hours is too long but each episode is full of tips, tricks and deep dive on ideas that you didn’t realise you needed to know. Jason and Inger are the kind...”Read full review »
