March 25, 2020 Introducing The Big Remote
We're in the middle of an unprecedented social experiment with so many people working remotely and many entire families staying home. Yet there's so much that still connects us together and that we can learn from. The Big Remote is a podcast of people's remote stories, hosted by Andy Polaine and Gerry Scullion on This is HCD.
Maybe this is all new and they're discovering a new lifestyle. Maybe they've been working remotely all this time and now everyone else in their company has joined them, or perhaps their freelance life has turned upside down.
The Big Remote dives into guests' remote work and collaboration tips, remote life hacks, tips on entertaining yourself and your kids, personal stories and more.

Andy's Book Corner
Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging by Afua Hirsch
From Notes to Narrative: Writing Ethnographies That Everyone Can Read by Kristen Ghodsee, which is really a good book about writing in general. Great for design researchers. Hat tip to Chris Hayward for this recommendation.
Antisocial: Online Extremists, Techno-Utopians, and the Hijacking of the American Conversation by Andrew Marantz – well-written and depressing at the same time.
Unlearn: Let Go of Past Success to Achieve Extraordinary Results by Barry O’Reilly. Lots of great insights personal and organisational change. (Barry is, in fact, Irish – Andy got it wrong in the podcast).
Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don’t Know by Malcolm Gladwell.
Beyond The Prototype: A roadmap for navigating the fuzzy area between ideas and outcomes by Douglas Ferguson.
