Episode notes
Choose Quiet, Timed Heating For Studios
- Try an oil heater or a silent electric fan heater to warm a podcast/office space without noise or harsh airflow.
- Set a timer so it warms up before you arrive to avoid discomfort during recording.
40th Birthday In The Maldives
- Rob turned 40 and combined his birthday with a long family trip to the Maldives over Christmas.
- He enjoyed the holiday but felt the Christmas magic was reduced and noted personal midlife reflections.
Reimagining When The New Year Should Start
- Rob suggested shifting the timing of Christmas and New Year to later in winter so resolutions feel more like spring refreshes.
- He framed the new-year reset as better suited to warmer seasons when activity naturally restarts.
