    I only come for the banter. I don’t understand most of what you are talking about. But I still listen.

  • Game changer

    Not only are the insights and approaches to productivity from Inger and Jason game changing (I am a loyal convert to BuJo and Obsidian), they are a delight to listen to chatting and talking ‘nonsense’ (it all makes sense).

  • Avocado vibe

    Step aside Kyle and Jackie, because “On the Reg” just kicked your morning show off its avocado-toast pedestal and into 2014 where it belongs. Anyhow, I usually don’t review podcasts — I prefer to judge silently while folding laundry — but this time, I felt compelled. Reason: Because the off-the-moral-compass visualization + AI talk in the last episode... yes... it had me blinking in binary. Dear Dr Inger (yes, we’re on a first-name basis now), if you don’t know how to AI your charts… then dont, ... more
