Long service leave: artefact of colonisation or just bloody awesome?

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


Jason and Inger finally have time to really catch up properly...
with a well over 2 hour conversation... Inger edited it down to 1
hour 53, so hey - listen in segments? Crank it up for a long
session of housework or gardening? Go for a really long run? We
believe in you!

It's long because frankly, there was a lot of backed up
conversation to be had after Jason had 14 weeks off. We discuss
the origins and future of the idea of long service leave and the
value of taking a break from work to reflect on the meaning of
life and renegotiate your relationships, personal and
professional.

This is followed by a long discussion of Simon Sinek's 'The
Infinite Game', which it turns out Inger has been playing with
the Thesis Whisperer for over a decade now. This is followed by a
philosophical digression into the idea of a hyper object and
whether academia is (maybe) a form of techno-bureaucratic climate
change?

In two minute tips, Jason brings us up to date with the cool new
iPhone features for limiting your access to work after hours (and
people's access to you after hours). Look - it's long, but we
enjoyed it. Hope you do too!
