We recorded this episode just after the UK General Election in December 2019, so our moods were a little sombre. Answering your lovely questions helped us forget all that though! We knew we wouldn't get it edited before Christmas, so this is "The New Year" episode. 2 24 full no no no no Jon Hicks https://rissingtonpodcast.co.uk/episode/23 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000 If you see someone without a smile Two days, two dinners and two locations later, this time we cover design systems, UX science, Greggs sausage rolls, the future of the web and biscuits. 2 23 full no no no no Jon Hicks https://rissingtonpodcast.co.uk/episode/22-bonus Mon, 04 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000 22: Bonus - Mental health We recorded lots of little experimental sections for episode 22 to see if anything stuck. Many of them probably won't see the light of day but we did just want to share a bit where we talk about mental health issues. 2 22 bonus no no no no Jon Hicks https://rissingtonpodcast.co.uk/episode/22 Thu, 24 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 It's bulb time! Attempts to improve the audio this time but still a few plosives in places. Pop! It's all the usual gubbings: Housekeeping; Font of the Week; UX Technique of the Week and of course Listener Questions. If we didn't answer yours this time, we'll probably get to it next time. 2 22 full no no no no Jon Hicks https://rissingtonpodcast.co.uk/episode/21 Tue, 24 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Housekeeping & warming up after a 10 year break 10 years of housekeeping is discussed, whilst John OK fails to concentrate on anything but the recording process and practicing his heavy breathing routine. Fortunately Mr. Hicks holds it all together, consummate professional that he is. That is right until the end when Jon (short for Jonathan) makes a revelation that will rock the design industry to its very core. Clickbait?

It’s the longest we’ve done yet, and we’ve had to edit it to within an inch of it’s life to make it vaguely listenable!

We were blessed with plenty of flying aircraft noise in this episode, so it all sounds nice and authentic.

Also we have a new website n’shit, replete with desktop and iphone wallpaper of the 1940’s poster style site design. Questions answered this time around include “Lord of the Rings or Star Wars”, “Free-Pitching” and the oh-so regular “Where is my hash key”. We will also be launching a campaign to make Alun Rowe Mayor of Thame shortly. 1 5 full no no no no Jon Hicks https://rissingtonpodcast.co.uk/episode/4 Thu, 08 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0000 Four A quicker, slimmer, episode this month – no extras, just the questions! We’re busy working on a ‘proper’ Rissington Podcast site (as well as all the stuff that pays of course), so we’ll keep this post short. In the edit, we managed to remove the actual question regarding IE6, which was “When can we start ignoring IE6?”. We’re just trying to keep you on your toes. 1 4 full no no no no Jon Hicks https://rissingtonpodcast.co.uk/episode/3 Mon, 08 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0000 Three - the Radiohead (I wish I was) special With the imminent release tomorrow of ‘In Rainbows’, the new album by Radiohead, the Rissingtion Podcast hosts are too excited for words. Well, OK, we mananged a few of them – we ask just one question this week: “Discbox or Download?”. We also talk to David Emery, web boffin at the Beggars Group about life as a web designer in the music industry. David’s sites include the promo for Thom Yorke’s The Eraser, making him the ideal chap to be talking to! 1 3 full no no no no Jon Hicks https://rissingtonpodcast.co.uk/episode/2 Tue, 02 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0000 Two - The Difficult Second Episode After a suprisingly successful week, reaching #3 in the iTunes Technology podcast chart, and #82 in the overall podcast chart, it’s safe to say the pressure is bloody on! Then there were the plaudits from that Mr Boag on his Podcast! So, here is the ‘difficult second episode’ (like the difficult second album). 1 2 full no no no no Jon Hicks https://rissingtonpodcast.co.uk/episode/1 Thu, 20 Sep 2007 00:00:00 +0000 One After the lovely warm reception to the Pilot Episode, we present the first ‘proper’ episode! It looks like we’re now committing ourselves to doing this! As well as the usual round of listeners questions (including The Rissington ‘underground hospital’ and choosing web-safe cheeses), we attempt another joke from the RAF Magazine ‘Air Mail’, and the Featured Font is P22’s ‘Underground Pro‘.
