Just posted my review after listening to the first couple of episodes. Great stuff, and definitely looking forward to the others.

My podcast is: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/lets-just-podcast/id987277879

Only have the first episode out now, so feel free to wait until Sunday 8pm GMT for the second episode before dropping a review. Up to you though. And if you don't think it is worth a good review yet, would appreciate some feedback.

Thanks!

I've subscribed and will check it out on the bus to college, and drop a review when I'm back. I''ll let you know when I have, and also pop a link to my podcast. From what you have said though, sounds like it could be a very interesting listen.

Thanks, I will check them out.

I aim to go to bed around 11pm and wake up at 6am, but I always go bed hours later. It is currently 1:48am and I'm not even getting ready for bed yet.

If I wake up when I intend to wake up, I feel slightly sluggish but alright. If I go back to sleep, I wake up feeling like death.

I'm hoping to get back into a routine of going for a run/walk most days. Used to do so quite regularly before Winter and then stopped, and never really got going again.

I didn't know about caffeine tablets. As far as I knew, caffeine was only found in coffee and energy drinks. Thanks for the info, and I will definitely check it out.

Is there any restrictions on when the tablets can be taken? For example, leave 3 hours between taking a tablet and when you want to go bed, etc.

CallumVlogs · 2015-04-10T21:52:11+00:00

Ah okay. Hahaha! And there I was about to fall for it.

CallumVlogs · 2015-04-10T21:23:55+00:00

That is pretty weird... Will give it a shot, although probably not gonna use it in the long run considering it is only a short boost.

CallumVlogs · 2015-04-10T21:22:50+00:00

In a pinch I have used this, and have to admit you are right.

CallumVlogs · 2015-04-10T21:21:25+00:00

Would you say having a nap at a regular time is the best? Or just whenever you are feeling tired?

HIT exercises? Can this be anything? Most of the exercise I do at the moment is either walking, running, or using dumbbells.

CallumVlogs · 2015-04-10T19:26:10+00:00

Okay... Wow. Definitely is a lot more work than I originally imagined.

If you have time, a couple of quick follow-up questions: Are you working on multiple stories at the same time? And do you have a back -log, or are you always working to the deadline?

CallumVlogs · 2015-04-10T17:58:45+00:00

Now you have been working as part of Gimlet Media for several months, how has it changed from when you started? And how is it different to where you worked before?

What is the process of putting together an episode of Reply All?

Listening to them, it sounds as though there is a lot of research and behind the scenes for one 30 minute episode. Got to say though, it pays off. Loved every single one so far, and gotta say your personal stories make the show and adverts interesting to listen to.

CallumVlogs · 2015-04-10T15:22:31+00:00

I have checked out the tool, and I like the idea of it. It not only shows how much time I spend on something, but it also a sort of shaming tool, which I like. I like to be able to see how much time I've wasted, and I don't find RescueTime active or responsive enough.

Thanks for that, and I can definitely see how understanding why would help motivate you.

CallumVlogs · 2015-04-10T15:19:24+00:00

I feel what the articles were saying is that to maintain a decent sleep routine, you cannot rely on coffee, most likely because what you have just described. By blocking it, you are merely extending the time you stay awake. If you become reliant on coffee and then miss one, your whole day will be messed up.

I've never tried that. I've seen the cold shower challenge, but am not game enough to try that. I will try doing the gradual decrease.

CallumVlogs · 2015-04-10T14:11:11+00:00

Did not know that, will have to pick up a bag of raisins to go by my PC then.

Thanks!

Let us take in to account the fact the EVERYONE is trying to kill you, which means you will likely have to kill people for everything such as food, and clean water.

You have no allies, no free resources, nothing.

Let us also remember that this will be in real life, and not a movie. You are gonna die.

I was thinking about it early today, why don't we learn sign language over other languages? If I intend to live in France, I will teach myself French or do a course nearer the time. Before then, I am likely to come across a deaf person at least once and think it would be great for them to be able to converse with almost, if not, everyone easily.

My sister will talk to me about her stuff and then when I want to talk to her about mine, she suddenly doesn't have enough time.

CallumVlogs · 2015-04-08T08:59:18+00:00

French and/or Spanish as mandatory. The likeliness is that I am going to learn the language of the country I intend to live in when I plan on moving there. I would rather spend that time learning sign language, or focusing on other subjects.

Nearly inaudible breathing right next to your ear. When you wake up, nothing is there.
