Firing a manager, and trying new software

Episode - 7

Go to Archive

October 13, 2011 Scriptnotes, Software, Transcribed

John and Craig answer a listener’s question about whether (and how) to ditch an ineffective manager, then discuss daily work habits, hardware and software.

Other topics include Lion’s reversed scrolling, stalking strangers on Google, and why there will likely never be a Final Draft Pro.

If you’re enjoying the podcast, you might consider giving us a hefty number of stars over on iTunes. I suspect most subscribers are coming to us through johnaugust.com, but a few more reader testimonials on iTunes might convince a few more potential listeners to tune in.

If you have a question you’d like me and Craig to tackle, drop us an email.
