Latest Episodes:

Episode 52 - How Do You Remain Present? Dec 11, 2016

Show notes

This week we have a conversation using the Internet...and having conversations over the Internet!

Episode 51 - Making Water and Soil Dec 03, 2016

Show notes

This week we're back to the past with an episode on indoor plumbing, from supply to disposal. We discuss potable water (po-table? pot-able?), old west water towers and methane dirigibles. Pete explains why sinks in Europe have separate hot and cold water taps, and we design a poorly-thought out and awkward communal toilet. At least we're not in an outhouse.

Episode 50.1 - Inside The Podcaster's Studio Nov 26, 2016

Show notes

Looking back on the last 40-odd weeks there have been some moments of hilarity which, for obvious reasons, didn't make it into the final episodes. So come with us on a journey into the podcasting studio and see what happens before the final cut.

Episode 50 - How Do You Engineer a Podcast after a Year? Nov 20, 2016

Show notes

A year ago we were here. Or at least some of us were. For our fiftieth episode we reflect on the past year of podcasting. We discuss our podcast formats, how our audio has improved, and our new release schedule. We also look to the future and tell you about some of our new episode ideas, from a series on the exciting world of protocols to a What Were They Thinking style of product discussion. And as we stated in our first podcast, we're always open to your feedback.

Episode 49 - How Do You Stop Engineering? Nov 12, 2016

Show notes

After all of the years of late nights and longs days that it takes to spin up an education and career in engineering, how do you leave it all behind and completely change your path? Now imagine that everyone around you is telling you that it's a mistake. That was the question that Manjula Selvarajah was asking herself years ago when she decided to leave behind a successful career in engineering and marketing to become a journalist.

Episode 48 - What is Innovative Tech? Nov 05, 2016

Show notes

“How do tech companies continue to innovate” seems like a pretty ambitious topic to cover in a half-hour without Abbey, and looking back it probably was. Simon and Pete tried their best to discuss the current state of tech innovation, and how companies choose strategies to stay relevant and innovative.

How Do You Call in Sick? Oct 29, 2016

Show notes

This week we're calling in sick. We'll be back next week and in the meantime, here's a little "When HDYE Goes Wrong" preview.

Episode 47 - Do We Take Tech For Granted? Oct 22, 2016

Show notes

With the hot new Samsung Note 7 all over the news, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge all of the incredible technology that is all around us...not on fire.

Episode 46 - Is It Hot In Here? Oct 15, 2016

Show notes

This week we return to the past. The cold dark past. And try to warm things up with our engineering know-how. We discuss the downside of living with a garbage fire, try to avoid lead poisoning, and get distracted by centrifugal governors. Pete tells us all about the little-known properties of oregano and we succeed in making the past better than the present, at least when it comes to in-floor heating.

Episode 45 - How Do You Find a Balance? Oct 08, 2016

Show notes

Trying to find a balance between work and life is often less like adding or removing weights from a scale, but more akin to trying to slackline between two masts of a ship in the open ocean. Circumstances change, pivot points shift, and the only way to know if you've reached a tipping point is to think critically about how you work and what you want out of life.
