It’s Hyper Nonsense! Your home for butterfly orgies, productivity explosions, and more!
This episode we talk about a recent trip to the monarch butterfly grove in Pismo Beach. Shawn has a theory on beach-going, and how often people actually go to the beach.
Shawn’s using OmniFocus and is now going to get EVERYTHING done.
Jen has a fun game that puts phone numbers and fake HuffPost article titles together.
We’re doing the RPM Challenge! Subscribe to the Hyper Nonsense bonus feed to get the sounds we record during the challenge.
We finish out the show with the story of a wine-drinking rabble-rouser in a WalMart electric scooter. Also: Pringles!
It’s been a minute (or two) since we released an episode. But we’ve got some good reasons. And we cover them in this episode!
Jen got sick. Shawn got sick. And other stuff happened.
Jen talked about her new podcast and non-podcast ventures. Shawn talked about why he rejoined Instagram after being away from that platform for many years.
The two talk a lot about social networks, and why social networks suck.
Hyper Nonsense is (finally) back! And Jen’s on the show, too! Tho, she didn’t necessarily get to talk much. We started the show by reading about a new sleep medication Shawn is taking. Sleep eating. Sleepwalking. Sleep motorcycling? They’re all coming. Then, Shawn recapped his recent trip to Podcast Movement in Anaheim (which he has many thoughts/feelings about). Jen is participating in Inktober. That’s a thing where art nerds draw stuff and put those drawings on the ‘net. We finished out the show with a thank-you to our former Patreon backers, as we’ve decided to close our Patreon account. (Don’t worry. The show isn’t ending.)
Hyper Nonsense is back! And in an attempt to make things even more complicated, Shawn attempted to stream the show live over Facebook Live Audio. (And yes, it is another sad, depressing, solo show. Sorry?) Shawn is going to the upcoming Podcast Movement conference in Anaheim! He is excited about it, but also dealing with the usual levels of anxiety and dread that go along with leaving the house. In a previous episode, Shawn talked about how he and Jen are considering donating their old car to charity. Shawn gives an update on that situation, and shares his feelings about being car-free (definitely not care-free). Shawn talks about his quest to be known by name at ever pizza parlor in town. And more!
It’s time for the semi-annual Hyper Nonsense Apple Cast! Nathan joins the show via Skype. He and Shawn talk about all of the latest Apple-related stuff, including news, podcasts/websites, and what Apple products they’re both using these days.
