Inger is in town, so Jason took her to a pod casting studio as a
treat for episode 80 (can you believe it?!). The sound is very
nice on this one folks, but This is a Studio in Prahran can take
ALL the credit.
There's a fair bit in the mailbag, leading to discussions about
the book Inger wrote with Narelle (and Claude) Rich Academic /
Poor Academic and a little bit of Text Expander and Omnifocus
talk (because naturally).
In our work problems segment we talk about Analogue Productivity
by Curtis Hale and ask "is this book bullshit?". We conclude it
isn't, but Inger tells Jason he doesn't have to read it.
Stay tuned for more about what we are reading and two two minute
tips (for a change). We were on the clock for this episode, but
maybe it's a good think because it's pretty tight and chock full
of productivity goodness!

In the depths of Canberra winter, no one can hear you scream
about AI... except for Jason, who had to hear ALL of Inger's
feelings.
Come for the promise of a 'Is this Book Bullshit?' style review

This one's a bit overdue folks - that's Inger's fault, don't
blame Jason!
After a long catch up, where we bemoan the state of the higher
education sector, and a very full mailbag, we talk about AI
powered research workflows.
Inger talks Jason through her new AI enabled process for doing
literature reviews, analysis and writing research papers. The
crew muse on the shift in working practices how you might take
advantage (or not) in your own work.
The team are looking at a teaching slide deck as they talk, which
Inger stupidly altered, so you can't read along... (doh!). But
you can see the final version of it, as delivered, here. The
pre-print version of the paper about AI that Inger wrote can be
retrieved here.

Jason lost the annual Downs family hosted hot cross bun
competition, but Inger's political team comprehensively won the
federal election, so we figure we came out even.
There's a bulging mail bag with lots of interesting questions
from listeners - some of which we could even answer.
Then we chat about the first ten months of our business 'On The
Reg Team'. What lessons has Jason learned about being an
entreprenerd? loyalty wont save your Higher Ed job... so
how do you start your own thing (even if it's just a lifeboat for
now).
Clearly we had a lot to say because Inger's AirPods gave up
before the end! (Inger snippity doo dah'd over half an hour...
Sadly, you don't get to hear about Jason painting his boat)
Things we mentioned:
The first hot cross bun episode (where Jason accidentally
bought secular buns)
Guardian episode on Australia's obsession with sexy (!?) hot
cross bun varieties
Jason's pictures of the HCB off and trophy
#DemocracySausage price list on Instagram
Inger's pictures of her election day work for Pocock

We're back! It's been six weeks - sorry about that!
Jason was finally struck down by covid... for the first time.
Yes, really! Now he finally understands what everyone is
complaining about. There's a lot to catch up on: the election, a
digression into 'Married at first sight' and what happens to a
sander when you use it for 6 hours straight on your boat
hull.
We get half way through a very full mailbag, before getting on to
our dissection of chapter one of Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of
Highly Effective People. This is the third time we've talked
about this book, and we're only now doing Habit One: proactivity
... look, we have a lot to say! Check out episode 17, where we
discuss how the book is really Mormonism pretending to be
productivity, and chapter 38 where we talk about chapter three.
Be warned - it gets very deep and meaningful. In fact, we get so
into it that we forgot to do a two minute tip! We'll make it up
to you, we promise.
Things we mention
