We discuss embodied cognition, a large part of the human experience that often goes under-talked about in UX circles.

We discuss a common issue UXers are facing, too often they spend all their time in the tool designing screens, and no time doing UX work.

How should UXers deal with designing around errors? Why is it so hard to have designs with good error flows?

With the US Election season coming to a close we try to talk about some of the potential pitfalls of the UX of voting, and how the mental models are quite weird. We don't get through it all.

After a baby and work hiatus we are back! We catch up with UXPA 2024, the state of the UX job market, and other random tidbits.

Keith Instone and Adam Deardurff join the show to talk about their work doing research for the State of UX in Ohio. We talk about common issues facing many UX communities, but now armed with research.

We talk about the difference between creating research plans vs. research protocols. It's a niche topic that we think you'll enjoy.

We take a brief detour to talk about running Chatbots locally on Guthrie's Mac, and then talk about some issues that design systems have been facing, and why most organizations have trouble with design systems.

Tech is always looking for the next big thing to replace our old way of doing things. Screens have been around for decades, but are they actually the best? Do we need to move beyond screens? Are screens good?

We make some predictions about what some of the big UX trends of 2024 will be. Happy New Year!
