Will and Andy are back. They pick up right where they left off, chatting like it hasn't been almost a year or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Will and Andy sit down to (finally!) record another episode, and this time, they're talking about work. Specifically, how they work, what they use, and how much coffee it takes to get going in the morning.

In this episode, Will and Andy step around the junk piles and into the world of clutter — both in their houses and in their computers. They talk about saving old files, explore some feels around archiving and digitizing family photos, and how to decide what to throw away and what to keep.

Better late than never, Will and Andy dig an episode out of the vault to talk about reading in all its analog and digital glory.

This week, Will and Andy sit down with Dr. Chase Nordengren to talk about the analog and digital tools he used when writing his dissertation. They also talk about how quickly some digital tools change while analog tools are just as reliable as always.

Will and Andy are lucky enough to sit down and talk with Joey Cofone, co-founder and designer at Baron Fig, seller of fine analog and digital notebooks. Baron Fig just released a note taking app, making the transition from purely analog products to digital as well. The guys talk about design iteration, collaboration, and finding that hard to identify state where you know you're ready to ship.
