Hark: A RedMonk Podcast

In which we sit down with Jon Prial to discuss work, like and how to balance the two in a tech industry. We talk about silly mistakes we've made, what goes into work/life balance and why it is - or is not - important. Also, how technology makes balance both easier and harder, why I live in Maine and a never before told anecdote about the best boss I ever had.

Host: Stephen O'Grady, @sogrady, RedMonk

Guest: Jon Prial, @jonprial, Georgian Partners and Northeastern University

In which we sit down with KellyAnn Fitzpatrick to discuss dungeons, towers and the role of Medievalism in today's arts and society. Almost certainly the first podcast to link the Arts and Crafts movement to the History of Rome to Stephenson's Diamond Age to JRR Tolkien.

In which Hark is introduced via a series of winding anecdotes. Of course. The question of what Hark is and why you should listen is, hopefully, satisfactorily addressed.
