At Least You're Trying, 33: The Lost Email Sessions

You guys, we are so sorry. Yeah, we kind of knew the email was broken when it went all quiet for a few weeks, but we didn't know there was all this great, supportive feedback waiting for us there. This week, we make it right... and do tons of follow-up, obviously.

At Least You're Trying, 31: Approachable Black Holes

Welcome to 2014, Tryers! There is no topic this week, just FFU about Christmas gifts, job interviews, house guests, birthdays, and on-going projects. There IS big news from TCL, and Matt may have found his duck.

At Least You're Trying 22: Planning into the Sunset

This is an odd episode. First off, Matt is full of beans, and not because of the scheduled topic. It may be hard to tell from listening, but more than 30 minutes about religion and/or politics had to be cut this week. Jody thinks Matt might be hoarding the good stuff for his other show.

Aug 14, 2013•1 hr 8 min

Aug 06, 2013•1 hr 16 min

At Least You're Trying 16: Path to Greatness?

At Least You're Trying 15: Get Your Own Podcast

At Least You're Trying 14: The Void

In which Jody and Matt, after brazenly defying the listeners and the minimum necessary amount of FU, get to this week's nominal topic: The Job Search (aka: The Void). We talk about resumes and rabbit holes. Procrastination death spirals, fear, and... the future. But definitely not running.

Jul 10, 2013•45 min

At Least You're Trying 10: No True Scotsman

In which Jody tries to hit literally every hot-botton issue, and Matt stubbornly refuses to be drawn into ranting. NOTE: One of those two claims is false.
