Kate and Laura really start to crack under the pressure as they offer advice about the three phases of your career: smartass, kickass, and badass. Mostly it's an excuse to say "ass" a lot. Like they need an excuse.  Drink Pairing: Grappa 

Kate and Laura continue to panic this week as they talk a bit about how remote user research is different from in person (besides being, you know, not in person) and also how everything is different now anyway, so just use your best judgement.  Drink pairing: Quarantinis

In this week's episode, Kate and Laura yell about how to pretend you're still getting work done while you're actually searching online for toilet paper during a pandemic. Also, some tips about actually getting some design done from home, which is a lot like getting design done at work, but it's easier to panic unobtrusively.  Drink Pairing: Whatever you still have left in the bunker (But not the Purell. That will kill you. Seriously. Stop drinking it. Kate.)

In this episode, Kate and Laura talk about a few interesting people who are doing interesting things and how we can apply some of their lessons to design.  Drink Pairing: Chianti

In this episode, Kate and Laura insist that, while designers don't need to know how to code, they do need to learn every single other aspect of technology. So, you know. Good luck with that. Kate actually shares a very useful resource: https://illustrated.dev. Check it out.  Drink Pairing: Pink Gin

In this episode, Kate and Laura tell long winded stories about telling stories, bringing the drunken blathering to a whole new level. And no, it's nothing like the previous podcast Story Telling for Entrepreneurs which is totally different despite having almost exactly the same name and being done by Laura and Kate who only have three stories to tell between them? Why would you even think that?  Drink Pairing: Hard Cider

In the interests of clarity, this episode should be called "The ROI of shouting about design and also contradicting each other" but that wasn't as catchy. Kate and Laura shout about whether the value of design can or should be measured. TL;DR; Often and It Depends. Drink Pairing: Rob Roy

In this episode, Kate and Laura yell even more than usual about how hard it is to design things in environments that say they're agile (but probably aren't).  Drink pairing: Shots! Preferably flu shots, followed by the shot of your choice. 

In this episode, Laura and Kate blather on about how Words Have Meanings and debate what on earth people mean when they say that they "advocate for UX within their organization."  Drink Pairing: Hot Toddy

Once again, Kate and Laura decide to talk endlessly about a visual medium. In this episode, they talk about what we mean when we talk about visual design, which is very slightly more interesting than it sounds.  Drink Pairing: Wild Turkey (tis the season)

In this episode, Kate and Laura attempt to give advice to new UXers (something neither of them has been since dinosaurs roamed the earth). Laura advocates violence, surprising nobody who has ever met her.  Drink Pairing: 20 year old scotch

It's a totally arbitrary milestone! On this, their 99th episode, Kate and Laura pretend that they're capable of learning and argue about what's changed and what's stayed the same over the years since they started yelling at each other.  Drink Pairing: Candy Corn Martini (it's a martini made with candy corn infused vodka which is apparently a thing that exists because everything is terrible)

In this episode, Laura's off yelling at clouds, and the notable Jess Ivins steps in to talk about learning, education and how to keep growing as a UX person. Jess says smart and helpful things while Kate rambles on but does get in some good references to articles she did not write. A highlight is how to talk to your boss to get the company to invest in your learning. Drink pairing: The dark, inky joy of a good Malbec.

In this episode, Kate and Laura yell about PRDs, MRDs, and FRDs which are things that nobody under 40 has ever heard of or cared about. They also talk about how PMs and UXers can never agree on who is responsible for what kinds of requirements, probably because they're all too busy redefining their job descriptions.  Drink pairing: Pumpkin Spice Vodka (Look, it's autumn, so I assume this abomination exists somewhere)

In this episode, Kate and Laura talk about absolutely nothing design related whatsoever. It's pretty much all just Laura whining about reinstalling Python and Kate asking if you've turned it off and on and again. There's probably a minute or two of useful info on how to troubleshoot a system.  Drink Pairing: Body Shots!

In this episode, Laura rants for several minutes about virtual keyboards, since apparently it's still 2008. Then they talk about car crashes and how to maybe not contribute to them with your stupid design tradeoffs.  Drink Pairing: Irish Coffee (made with Fair Trade coffee, obvs)

In this episode, Laura whines that she doesn't have a robot army yet, and Kate gets distracted thinking about robot bartenders. Do robots podcast yet? Asking for a social media intern who has to write these blurbs.  Drink Pairing: Old Fashioned

For some horrible reason, Kate and Laura are beating the dead horse that is Everybody is a Designer...wait...NOBODY is a Designer...I mean...oh who the hell cares? Just tell me what we're drinking for this one.  Drink Pairing: Just decide already. I mean I GUESS EVERYBODY IS A BARTENDER NOW TOO. 

What's that? Kate and Laura are talking about doing things again? Well, beats the hell out of actually doing anything, I suppose.  Drink Pairing: Dewars and soda 

In this episode, Laura blathers on again about DevOps while Kate desperately tries to explain how any of this is relevant to designers. (Ed. note: It isn't!) They finally agree to yell at people about naming their layers while admitting that they never have and never will. Laura accidentally coins the phrase: Enforce, Evolve, and Enhance, which sounds like something directly out of 1984.  Drink Pairing: Fuzzy Navel

An unintentionally long episode about time estimates that proves that time estimates are b******t. Also, Kate talks about her favorite drink recipe.  Drink Pairing: Old Fashioned

In this episode, Kate and Laura discuss the only thing they're really experts on: pissing people off.  Drink Pairing: Light Beer

In this episode, Kate tries to talk Laura into caring about the podcast listeners. Hey, that's you! If you enjoy hearing people cackle about borderline abusive neglect, this is the episode you've been waiting for.  Drink Pairing: Highball (this was a listener request, so don't say we never listen to our listeners, despite the fact that we explicitly say we don't in this episode)

In this episode, Kate and Laura discuss something (semi) topical. They argue about whether designers should lead and then of course somehow veer into what design even is anyway and it's pretty much a typical mess.  Drink Pairing: Mojitos (or anything muddled)

In this episode, Kate and Laura argue about The Craft, which relates to neither witchcraft nor macrame owls, so honestly why do they even bother? Seriously though, tune in for 30 minutes of blathering about what words mean.  Drink pairing: Craft beer
