Inger has A Lot Going On At The Moment - and has the tshirt to prove it. Jason's been Getting Things Done, even if his fridge broke. Things have been better in OTR land, but an episode was finally recorded!
There's a lot of chat in this one because the mail bag was, as usual, excellent. 
In the work problems segment Inger plugs the new book she's written with Pat Thomson, Helen Kara and Aimee Grant... While the title is boring and the cover is ugly, she thinks the book is actually great.
Rebecca sent us in a two minute tip and it's great! You'll have to listen to the end to hear it.
Things we mentioned:
Inger's Taylor Swift coded tshirt
OTRT home page (to see our new logo)
QPR conference (we're having a booth!)
The new book "Managing your research project"
Indyx App (Inger's wardrobe organisation app)
Inger's expensive boots
And her expensive leather jacket comes from Leatheron
Inger's eBay page
First edition of How To Fix your Academic Writing Trouble (2nd edition out November this year)
Hazel for the Mac
Example of a patched in ChatGPT image on Inger's Instagram
The Boring Conference
Sneeze Count paper

Hey! Jason will be in the UK in Late April. If you'd like to chat to him about the trip and possibly having him visit you, email us on [email protected]

The banter section of this episode is lost to history because Jason forgot to hit record! After a short intro by Inger, the team go straight into the mail bag. Let's face it, this is the good stuff anyway - who needs Tinny and puppy news?
In our work problems segment, we discuss the appearance of ChatGPT as a referrer to the Thesis Whisperer blog and what it might mean for researcher visibility. How does an LLM decide on what is an 'authoritative source' on the internet? Is this a new form of 'research impact' and what should researchers do about it, if anything?
This episode also ends abruptly when Inger gets a phone call - the next episode will be much more polished, we promise!
Things we mentioned:
Tiago Forte's PARA book
Blooms Taxonomy
Amazing Marvin app
Click up app
Be visible or vanish book
The Enshittification of Academic Social Media

Welcome to the first Youtube video version of the pod! 
Watch it here
Sorry for the sound quality for the first 10 minutes - promise it gets better when we remembered to turn the mics on! The filming/recording took ages, through many interruptions, and bad technical decisions... so much effort in fact, that we are not sure if we will do it again. Let us know if you like it and we might persist!
In this episode we talk about Boredom at work. Inger reads Jason in on the literature and floats her theory that the PhD is an exercise in training boredom tolerance.

Savers - the thrifting superstore
An academic affair - new romance book set in Australian Academia by Jodie McAllister
The Dopamine Brain (book)

Jason has been living his best life, travelling NZ (where he did not touch boiling mud, as much as he was tempted to) and having excuses to eat pepper steak pies. Meanwhile Inger has been having a shit time at work and waiting for her puppy to arrive.
After a confession during the mailbag segment, we hear all about Jason's star keynote at the ASPIRE conference, which led to... well, a bit of a rant on Inger's part at least. You get the picture!
