Sketchplanations - The Podcast
Bell Boy Productions
Big Ideas explored through Little Pictures.It's certainly not a self-help podcast, but you might take something away that helps you notice or even enjoy the world around you a little more.We offer up great conversations about ideas based on simple and insightful sketches in the Sketchplanations online collection, with the aim of giving listeners something fun and interesting to have their own conversations about. This is an explainer podcast for the curious-minded. Topics covered include science, behavioural economics, wellbeing, nature, psychology frameworks, business models, cognitive biases, and even domestic life-hacks. Sketchplanations illustrator and author Jono Hey joins lifelong friends Tom Pellereau (2011 Apprentice Winner) and Rob Bell (Engineer & Broadcaster) to share ideas and stories catalysed by each week's sketch. The 3 of us have been friends for over 20 years and have always enjoyed delving into all sorts of conversation topics - usually with some silliness along the way. Hosted on Acast.

Yak Shaving
Yak Shaving is a term used to describe the conclusion of the often frustrating trail of seemingly never-ending tasks that becomes apparent when trying to complete one simple task - that you thought was going to be quick and easy. In the podcast, we apply it to software coding, project management, family holidays, winning The Apprentice and more... Jono also references another sketch that covers Hofstadter's Law.

The Fun Scale
The Fun Scale suggests that there are 3 different Types of Fun - particularly when applied to outdoor pursuits. Type 1: Fun to do at the time and fun to think back on. Type 2: Requires a bit of work at the time, but ultimately fun in retrospectType 3: Not necessarily fun at all, but makes for a great story (the telling of which is fun!).In this episode we discuss our experiences with all 3 of them and propose a possible 4th Type of "Fun".
