Latest Episodes:

Motivation Mar 05, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Kate and Laura talk about how to get and stay motivated in a design environment. In an ironic and completely foreseeable twist, I honestly can't be bothered to come up with something clever to say about any of this.

Drink pairing: eh. Whatever's closest.

The World Where We Live Feb 19, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Laura and Kate take on the world - specifically, a framework for making decisions that takes into account the fact that humans are bad at long vs short term decision making. You can really tell that Laura failed Philosophy a few times in this one.

Drink Pairing: White Russian

Should You Write a Book? Jan 29, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Kate and Laura ask the important question: Should you make the same stupid mistake that Laura has made repeatedly? No. The answer is no. Also, what is wrong with you? Have we taught you nothing?

Drink Pairing: Absinthe

Unicorn Hunting Jan 15, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Kate and Laura complain about UX job descriptions and give people some suggestions about how to deal with them. TL;DR; There's nothing you can do about it so just ignore them.

Drink Pairing: Anything sparkling

Protect Your Users from Each Other Jan 01, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Kate and Laura talk about how and why to protect your users from each other while they slowly lose what little faith they still had in humanity. Happy New Year.

Drink pairing: Bottomless Mimosas. Or topless. Whatever. You do you.

Storyboarding Dec 18, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, Kate and Laura talk endlessly about visual things. Again. This time it's storyboards. Also, Laura apparently has something against Cleveland? And also the rest of humanity? Who even knows?

Drink pairing: Mulled wine

Whiteboard Challenges Nov 19, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, Kate and Laura talk about how to be better at whiteboard challenges if you can't avoid them entirely, which you can't, so just deal.

Drink pairing: Wild Turkey

Build for Now Nov 06, 2018

Show notes

Once again, Kate and Laura try to pretend that being extremely lazy makes them good at their jobs. Whatever those jobs are. This episode is mostly just maritime puns and Laura whining about not having a yacht yet.

Drink pairing: Veuve Clicquot

Detours from the Happy Path Oct 23, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, Kate and Laura get all metaphorical about basic task definition and flows. Also, they introduce a drinking game where you have to chug every time they say "task flow," so you're going to have to sign a release saying the podcast is not responsible for your inevitable alcohol poisoning.

Drink Pairing: Preferably something that won't kill you when you drink a gallon of it

An Amateur Could Do It Oct 09, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, Kate and Laura barely conceal their terror that they could be replaced by people with no skills or abilities whatsoever at any time. For once, they're not wrong.
