A Quiet Shopping Mall and a Productive Staycation

Can't be bothered with email or speak pipe? Text us!

Inger and Jason are at the end of the holidays. For Jason this meant going to a hash den in Thailand (it's a long story) and for Inger it meant organising all her rococo style porcelain figurines (yes, really).

The mailbag (18:53) is full of interesting letters and provokes only one moment of feminist rage from Inger. Ok, maybe two.

In the Work Problems segment (56:35) Jason gives us an alternative way to think about the year ahead with the VRIO model from Jay Barney and there's  quite a lot of talk about late stage capitalism.

Reading time (1:24) Inger's been reading romance books about audio p*rn stars (you read that right), while Jason has been reading about how to be younger. In the Two minute tips  (1:38) Inger shares her library thing project and Jason talks about his State Of Mind.

Then the first episode of season 5 was in the can- can you believe it?!
