  • The Bug in Your Ear: Voices We Love to Listen To

    The Bug in Your Ear: Voices We Love to Listen To
    Sep 13 2023

    Do you love podcasts? It isn’t a surprise that audio programming remains so popular nearly a century after the invention of the television.

    There is a level of intimacy between the voice on the radio and ourselves. There is more room for imagination than visual images offer, and a greater ability to build a connection when compared with reading text.

    Glendalynn reflects on some of her early exposure to classic radio programming and a few of her favourite on air voices - real and fictional.

    The Importance of Downtime
    Aug 17 2023

    Downtime isn’t vacation. It isn’t the weekend. It the time we require to recover, mentally and/or physically, to recover from certain tasks.

    Understanding our unique recovery time enables us to plan ahead. To ensure we build time blocks into our schedule accordingly.

    Glendalynn dives into this topic after a particularly exhausting experience. Luckily, she started noting her recovery time requirements as part of a business review exercise earlier this year. Listen to better understand how to build personal recovery time into your own schedule.

  • It’s Just a Movie

    It’s Just a Movie
    Aug 8 2023

    Oppenheimer is a 3-hour film, not an 18-hour documentary series. Why expect a Ken Burns doc?

    If someone watches Argo, or Bohemian Rhapsody or I, Tonya, and believes what they see on screen to be accurate, whose fault is that?

    Fictionalized accounts are meant to entertain. Yes, hopefully, they spark interest in learning more, but that isn’t their goal. Glendalynn discusses a series of recent films that received criticism for doing exactly this, and why that problem belongs squarely on the audience, not the film makers.

    The history book referenced in this episode is The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes (1986)
