Hot academic gossip and the Circle of Niceness

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us!


This one has been in the can for a while - but it was recorded
only a week after the previous one about the Meat Grinder. You'd
think that would make the banter session shorter, but ...not
really. Jason has largely avoided having his face squished at
Brazilian Jujitsu and Inger has been writing whiny emails to her
boss.

The team finish up the Cambridge hiatus mailbag (13:32),
including one from Janet Davey that was lost at the bottom (sorry
about that Janet!). This prompts a lengthly discussion about
Teams and autocorrect, so the usual nerdy stuff.

In the Work Problems session (49:38) Jason confesses to Inger
that he doesn't know how to gossip well, but Inger proves to him
that he has got his academic gossip skills Just Right. Along the
way Foucault is not mentioned, but he might as well have been
given how much the word 'power' popped up.

Inger's read her friend Stan Emmerson's new book 'What is the It'
(1:28:44) and gives a completely biased review. Jason features a
couple of 50 cent app shop bargains. Finally

In two minute tips (1:37:10) Inger reports back on taking her own
advice and Jason shares the rather tragic news that his email
address is now on the Dark Web, which seems appropriate for a
Halloween episode!
