On the reg

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Content warning! In this episode we talk briefly about anxiety and addiction. If either of those two topics are not your thing today, click away friend! Jason and Inger are back from holidays - if you can call it that. December and January were marred by the Omicron Surge which, like all bad sci-fi novels, has produced a lot of boredom. Inge...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Jason and Inger are on summer holidays! This episode is one Inger recorded last year with Mark Carrigan and Tyler shores. There's lot of nerdy stuff about productivity in here, including name checking a whole lot of note taking apps. We kept this one in the can for the summer break and it has fresh resonance now that Australia seems to...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! It's been a busy couple of weeks leading up to the end of the year for both Inger and Jason.

Jason describes his  terrible, no good Tuesday and tells Inger how he ate hot chips, went...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger had a unexpected visit to the hospital and Jason had trouble getting the tinny out to sea and back again, so it was quite a week for the On The Reg Team. Full of the dramas. Inger digs out a paper her 'interesting shit' folder on Zotero, which is basically stuff she found while Jason was on #epictrip and saved for later. The...

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 conversati...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Jason just got back from 14 weeks driving around Australia on #epictrip2021! So it seemed like a good idea to throw him right into podcasting via a live key note for Australian Educational Podcast Conference 2021. The event was called "Planning for podcasting: dissecting the process", so we did a normal On The Reg... but with a tim...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger recorded this guestapooloza version of On The Reg just before Canberra was locked down... as she says in the pod "things might change before you hear this". Luckily her guest was Narelle Lemon from the Wellbeing Whisperer, who was able to impact many relaxation tips. Inger is crap at relaxing, so Narelle's suggestions we...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! After hearing briefly from Jason, who seems to be making progress on his digital detox, Inger is joined by Dr Ben Kraal. Ben used to be an academic, but escaped into the wilds of UX consulting where he makes a very nice living - but still runs an excellent academic-ish newsletter on the side which is called '1992'. Ben tells Inger...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger has a guest host while @Jasondowns is gallivanting his way around Australia on #epictrip2021.

They share their networking tips and techniques, especially the stuff that works online during Covid times whe...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! It's the last episode of On the Reg before Jason goes on #epictrip2021 but don't worry - Inger will keep the ship afloat with a guesthostapolooza until he returns. Before he leaves Jason just has a bit more marking to do as well as tricking out the Jeep. Inger is relieved her dislocated toe no longer looks like a balloon animal and...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! This week Inger is joined by Jonathan O'Donnell from the Research Whisperer as Jason is still away on #epictrip2021. Jonathan has given us lots of suggestions for On The Reg, so now is the time to talk to him directly! We start off talking about why innovation is hard inside universities, which have been fine tuned to avoid waste and in...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Jason is wondering how long he is going to be constrained to a 25km radius as he tries to plan #epictrip2021 around Australia. Meanwhile Inger's Tesla is complaining about a cold battery. While Jason contemplates 14 weeks off work for long service leave, Inger is powering on with her PostAc work (you can find out more about the PostAc p...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Jason has been in #markinghell, but dreaming of his #epictrip2021 (which you can follow on Instagram!). Meanwhile Inger took a break and drove through spider rain in Victoria before dislocating her toe in NSW. So - it's been busy. Jason goes long and deep on procrastination again - this time looking at different sorts of procrastination...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger and Jason are very touched by a lovely message Chad left on Speakpipe - we ate the praise up like delicious yogurt. Jason and Shainul took the tinny on a last cruise before winter and proudly reports that he can fit back into his Brazillian Ju Jitzu gear. Inger has succeeded in a science experiment, and worried ThesisWhisperer Jnr by n...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Where Inger and Jason release an emergency broadcast in support of everyone who is working through conditions which have heightened levels of difficulty. Jason has just heard that the snap lockdown announced in Melbourne a week ago has just been extended for another 7 days (and maybe more). This got Jason and Inger thinking - how do you cope...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger and Jason both enjoyed a brief Easter break, but for different reasons. Inger has been zooming around in her new baby (the Tesla) while Jason has been participating in an intense hot cross bun competition. Inger is looking forward to a planned writing retreat in an Instagram ready barn conversion to write her romance novels while Jason...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger was too scared to drive her new Tesla and Jason was scared he'd lost his drone at sea. Luckily Jason did not have to tell Cath the boy toy went missing and at least Thesis Whisperer Jnr thinks Inger's new book Level Up Your Essays is 'not that boring'. We take up the challenge, put to us by a sadly anonymous listene...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Jason's been sailing around in his tinny (with and without thongs) and Dj'ing on a ship that only serves vegan pizzas.

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger and Jason have both been dealing with challenges. For Inger it's finding time to work on her romance novels when doing a 37.5 hour week entirely on Zoom. She did, however, manage to get on Etsy and buy angry uterus stickers for her bullet journal. Jason is in Covid lockdown - again! But at least he got to take the tinny (that&apos...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger and Jason are now fully back at work. Jason is is relieved people have welcomed him back into his new/old job and got his boat license so he can cruise around Port Phillip Bay.

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! Inger and jason have had a holiday - sort of. A lot of it seemed to involve making a dash for state borders before they closed... Jason bought a drone and Inger bought a mid life crisis car. In our work problems segment, Inger goes deep on the problem of rest, specifically, why she finds it hard and why that's not her fault. The discuss...

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! It's our last episode for 2020 (don't worry, we'll be back. Jason can't get out of it now). Jason is finishing one job and starting another with a listening tour.

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! This recording was made from a live taping session during 'Whisperfest 2020' in front of a live crowd of around 70 people on Zoom.  In this episode, Jason and Inger tell their origin story, although they argue about the dried apricot analogy bit.

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us! We start by taking a moment to acknowledge that The Trump presidency has come to an end, ignominiously, in front of a landscape gardening gardening business, next to the 'Fantasy Island' adult bookstore in downtown Philly. Inger cried! How good is the first woman being a VP in the USA?! And how amazingly great is it that she's...
