What Is Wrong with UX? - s Know 19653g

In this episode, Laura rants for several minutes about virtual keyboards, since apparently it's still 2008. Then they talk about car crashes and how to maybe not contribute to them with your stupid design tradeoffs.  Drink Pairing: Irish Coffee (made with Fair Trade coffee, obvs)

In this episode, Laura whines that she doesn't have a robot army yet, and Kate gets distracted thinking about robot bartenders. Do robots podcast yet? Asking for a social media intern who has to write these blurbs.    Drink Pairing: Old Fashioned

For some horrible reason, Kate and Laura are beating the dead horse that is Everybody is a Designer...wait...NOBODY is a Designer...I mean...oh who the hell cares? Just tell me what we're drinking for this one.  Drink Pairing: Just decide already. I mean I GUESS EVERYBODY IS A BARTENDER NOW TOO. 

What's that? Kate and Laura are talking about doing things again? Well, beats the hell out of actually doing anything, I suppose.  Drink Pairing: Dewars and soda 

In this episode, Laura blathers on again about DevOps while Kate desperately tries to explain how any of this is relevant to designers. (Ed. note: It isn't!) They finally agree to yell at people about naming their layers while itting that they never have and never will. Laura accidentally coins the phrase: Enforce, Evolve, and Enhance, which sounds like something directly out of 1984.  Drink Pairing: Fuzzy Navel

An unintentionally long episode about time estimates that proves that time estimates are bullshit. Also, Kate talks about her favorite drink recipe.  Drink Pairing: Old Fashioned

In this episode, Kate and Laura discuss the only thing they're really experts on: pissing people off.    Drink Pairing: Light Beer

In this episode, Kate tries to talk Laura into caring about the podcast listeners. Hey, that's you! If you enjoy hearing people cackle about borderline abusive neglect, this is the episode you've been waiting for.  Drink Pairing: Highball (this was a listener request, so don't say we never listen to our listeners, despite the fact that we explicitly say we don't in this episode)

In this episode, Kate and Laura discuss something (semi) topical. They argue about whether designers should lead and then of course somehow veer into what design even is anyway and it's pretty much a typical mess.  Drink Pairing: Mojitos (or anything muddled)

In this episode, Kate and Laura argue about The Craft, which relates to neither witchcraft nor macrame owls, so honestly why do they even bother? Seriously though, tune in for 30 minutes of blathering about what words mean.  Drink pairing: Craft beer

In this episode, Kate and Laura talk about how to get and stay motivated in a design environment. In an ironic and completely foreseeable twist, I honestly can't be bothered to come up with something clever to say about any of this.  Drink pairing: eh. Whatever's closest. 

In this episode, Laura and Kate take on the world - specifically, a framework for making decisions that takes into the fact that humans are bad at long vs short term decision making. You can really tell that Laura failed Philosophy a few times in this one.  Drink Pairing: White Russian

In this episode, Kate and Laura ask the important question: Should you make the same stupid mistake that Laura has made repeatedly? No. The answer is no. Also, what is wrong with you? Have we taught you nothing?  Drink Pairing: Absinthe

In this episode, Kate and Laura complain about UX job descriptions and give people some suggestions about how to deal with them. TL;DR; There's nothing you can do about it so just ignore them.  Drink Pairing: Anything sparkling

In this episode, Kate and Laura talk about how and why to protect your s from each other while they slowly lose what little faith they still had in humanity. Happy New Year.  Drink pairing: Bottomless Mimosas. Or topless. Whatever. You do you. 

In this episode, Kate and Laura talk endlessly about visual things. Again. This time it's storyboards. Also, Laura apparently has something against Cleveland? And also the rest of humanity? Who even knows? Drink pairing: Mulled wine

In this episode, Kate and Laura talk about how to be better at whiteboard challenges if you can't avoid them entirely, which you can't, so just deal.  Drink pairing: Wild Turkey

Once again, Kate and Laura try to pretend that being extremely lazy makes them good at their jobs. Whatever those jobs are. This episode is mostly just maritime puns and Laura whining about not having a yacht yet.  Drink pairing: Veuve Clicquot

In this episode, Kate and Laura get all metaphorical about basic task definition and flows. Also, they introduce a drinking game where you have to chug every time they say "task flow," so you're going to have to sign a release saying the podcast is not responsible for your inevitable alcohol poisoning.  Drink Pairing: Preferably something that won't kill you when you drink a gallon of it

In this episode, Kate and Laura barely conceal their terror that they could be replaced by people with no skills or abilities whatsoever at any time. For once, they're not wrong.  Drink Pairing: Mudslide (in honor of our newest patreon!) You want a drink pairing of your own? Patreon us!  https://patreon.com/WhatIsWrongWithUX
