Third time’s a charm! Will and Andy are getting serious… about games. Andy doesn’t like board games because he doesn’t want to work to have fun, but he likes playing Apples to Apples in the Inverted Method. Will’s gonna guess the velocity of the unladen European Swallow with Wingspan, and build his IBM card deck. Plus: EXTREME PLAYDATE CONTENT.

Whooooo buddy, is this one a long time coming. Will and Andy record IRL. It takes them 22 months to post it. Sounds about right.
2017 is finally over, and Will and Andy are talking about new year resolutions for 2018. Specifically, the mechanics of them: how do you set resolutions? How do you keep track of them? How well do you keep them? That, plus lots of chatting about paperback books and “portable word processors” from the early 2000s. Plus, why is there a “.men” TLD but not a “.women”?

Will and Andy be talking ‘bout that Apple Watch and dem Fitbits. Also, pocket watches, apparently.

Today, after a long talk about video games and, er, internet coming-of-age stories, Will and Andy talk about “smart home” devices — wi-fi enabled lightbulbs, digital assistant dinguses, sentient refrigerators and fancy speakers. Andy confesses his home is completely dumb, but after the techno-apocalypse, he won’t be locked out of his home and car like Will.
Warning: Andy and Will forget and say (literally) triggering words that may...
Will and Andy are talking about subscriptions, both analog and digital. This is especially relevant as of late, as big apps like Day One and Ulysses have decided to switch to the subscription model. What mental processes do we go through when making a decision to subscribe to something? How does the subscription model benefit the maker?

Will and Andy are back! Again! And this time, they’re making a commitment to staying back for you, the listeners. Today’s episode catches you up on what’s new in their lives, personally and professionally, and what tools and workflows they’re using that have changed. Plus: they document how Millennials are, indeed, ruining literally everything. At least according to the news.

Will and Andy are back. They pick up right where they left off, chatting like it hasn't been almost a year or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Will and Andy sit down to (finally!) record another episode, and this time, they're talking about work. Specifically, how they work, what they use, and how much coffee it takes to get going in the morning.
In this episode, Will and Andy step around the junk piles and into the world of clutter — both in their houses and in their computers. They talk about saving old files, explore some feels around archiving and digitizing family photos, and how to decide what to throw away and what to keep.
To celebrate Will's first-ever MacBook, he and Andy spend some time talking about the apps that are must-haves for them, and what they install first when setting up a new computer. From backup programs to launchers, there's a lot of Mac talk going on here.

Better late than never, Will and Andy dig an episode out of the vault to talk about reading in all its analog and digital glory.
This week, Will and Andy sit down with Dr. Chase Nordengren to talk about the analog and digital tools he used when writing his dissertation. They also talk about how quickly some digital tools change while analog tools are just as reliable as always.

Will and Andy are lucky enough to sit down and talk with Joey Cofone, co-founder and designer at Baron Fig, seller of fine analog and digital notebooks. Baron Fig just released a note taking app, making the transition from purely analog products to digital as well. The guys talk about design iteration, collaboration, and finding that hard to identify state where you know you're ready to ship.

This week, our hosts talk about the MULTITUDE of tools available to manage to-do lists and reminders. More often than not, they will both have changed their minds by the time you read this.
Andy and Will were honored to sit down with the Sketchnote General Mike Rohde for this episode. Well, to be honest, Will sat down with him and because of the WONDERFUL hotel lobby wifi, Andy couldn't even phone it in this time. We also announce our Baron Fig giveaway winners! Congrats, Cameron Bardell and Daniel Taub!

Andy spends 84 minutes talking about GIFs. Will listens and realizes he has so much to learn about tiny, animated images.
