The Podcast

A random bag of topics: landing rockets, Black Friday, tech Thanksgiving, WiFi corner, Tokyo, ergonomic keyboards, pricing models.

Radek's trip to London, going #iPadOnly, navigating with an Apple Watch, internal Android—iOS competition at Nozbe, iPad Pro, Nozbe public templates, and why we can't ship an iOS update.

More Apple Watch use cases, noise-cancelling headphones, Michael's new level of internet fame, Nozbe templates… Earthquakes, armed robberies, and the iPad Pro. Crazy times indeed.

Answering listener questions (what would happen if our team was spread across many time zones far apart?). Design thinking behind the new Nozbe Complication. Questioning (again!) whether or not Apple Watch is a useful and compelling device to have. Fun fact: the chances of getting struck by an asteroid are 1 in 200 000

WiFi issues (episode 666), Michael's trip to the UK, Tesla, Elon Musk, Hello Internet podcast and Starbucks hotstoppers (or lack thereof), virtual-turn-real friendships, automation in Nozbe dev team, the pain of fresh iOS and El Capitan installations, Nozbe's upcoming redesign in version 2.5, and Apple Watch complications. Full of smooth segues and unsophisticated cliffhangers.

Following up from the last episode, we discuss why it's important to complain, have strong opinions weakly held, and why we sometimes design things to be harder to use (for a greater good).

More tools and meetings we use at Nozbe to collaborate and organize ourselves. In this episode: company wiki, Dropbox, version planning meeting, and the Design Fight. Warning: high content of Michael's enthusiasm ("we love each other, we love this meeting, we love being prepared for it")

Let's face it: most meetings suck. Meetings can be a useful tool for collaboration, but they have to be done right. This week we explore how we used to suck at meetings, and how we changed them over time to be more useful.

Part two of our "how we work" series. This week, we talk tools: software we use to communicate, collaborate, and organize ourselves. We also go into detail of how we use those tools (including our own). Spoiler alert: email isn't one of them.

Recording live from a company reunion, Michael and Radek discuss what they've learned over the past week and how that will influence their product in the upcoming months.

We get back to discussing productivity and how we do our work. Michael explains why he got into working from home and argues that more companies should adopt it. Turns out, you don't have to be introverted to enjoy remote work.

Michael has 5 iPads (seriously!) and treats them as work devices. Radek thinks that's crazy. Will iPad Pro change how people work?

Tesla Model X and Model 3. How Tesla is (not) disrupting car sales. Some speculation on Apple's September 9 event (which has already happened by now). More grumbling about iOS bugs (and our own).

More thoughts on transportation, EV-s, autonomous cars. The work-life imbalance of Elon Musk. Brief digression on rockets and space exploration.

Thoughts on Elon Musk, Tesla, Uber, and the future of transportation.

Follow-up on productivity, Michael's blog post templates, organizing your thoughts with journaling, hate mail, and how business models influence work environment.

Radek reveals the limits of his productivity to his boss.

Michael starts his day with a 50+ km bike ride and has an Amazon Prime problem. Radek beats his distance the same day and comes out of the closet as an adult fan of LEGO.

More grumbling about iDevice memory sizes, iOS adoption rates, discussion ideas for improvements of The Podcast and how to do reunions of remote companies. Oh and Radek removed Twitter from his phone (really).

Life with the Apple Watch, interruptive spaces, and the Pomodoro Technique.

A brief digression turned into half an hour of ranting about why open space offices suck and why remote work is awesome

Reflecting on our previous episodes, then discussing how we're trying to get better at writing, running, photography by finding consistency.

Thoughts on digital publishing — Apple News, Newsstand, Flipboard, RSS, and Remag.

A few thoughts on Apple Watch, how iOS adoption rate impacts us, and what we didn't get on WWDC.

Michael and Radek say hi, then discuss WWDC news, how it affects our products and other 3rd party developers
