Inside Situation

We present a very “Life Hacker” episode of Inside Situation where Kevin and Ros attempt to teach Peter specific tricks on dealing with email overload, from the basics of what an inbox is for to how to use tools to eliminate noise from your “to do” list.

Na, na, na, na, na, na… They say it’s our birthday! We celebrate the one year anniversary of Inside Situation by bringing Damian, Jordan, Kevin and Peter into the studio to talk about why we podcast and what we want to do in year two. Hear us tackle the topics of live vs. edited content creation, the dubious experiment that is Facebook Live, and podcasting as an incubator for big ideas in other media.
