Description
Our mission is to bridge the gap between the analog tools we love and their digital counterparts. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. You can live in both worlds and draw the benefits. Dot Grid is a podcast that explores the intersection between the digital and analog ecosystems. Hosted by a teacher and a tech worker who are passionate about the tools they use — be it a Markdown editor or a fountain pen — this show is a resource for those who still hold the analog in high esteem.

Will and Andy are back. They pick up right where they left off, chatting like it hasn't been almost a year or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Will and Andy sit down to (finally!) record another episode, and this time, they're talking about work. Specifically, how they work, what they use, and how much coffee it takes to get going in the morning.
In this episode, Will and Andy step around the junk piles and into the world of clutter — both in their houses and in their computers. They talk about saving old files, explore some feels around archiving and digitizing family photos, and how to decide what to throw away and what to keep.
To celebrate Will's first-ever MacBook, he and Andy spend some time talking about the apps that are must-haves for them, and what they install first when setting up a new computer. From backup programs to launchers, there's a lot of Mac talk going on here.
Better late than never, Will and Andy dig an episode out of the vault to talk about reading in all its analog and digital glory.
This week, Will and Andy sit down with Dr. Chase Nordengren to talk about the analog and digital tools he used when writing his dissertation. They also talk about how quickly some digital tools change while analog tools are just as reliable as always.
Will and Andy are lucky enough to sit down and talk with Joey Cofone, co-founder and designer at Baron Fig, seller of fine analog and digital notebooks. Baron Fig just released a note taking app, making the transition from purely analog products to digital as well. The guys talk about design iteration, collaboration, and finding that hard to identify state where you know you're ready to ship.
This week, our hosts talk about the MULTITUDE of tools available to manage to-do lists and reminders. More often than not, they will both have changed their minds by the time you read this.
Andy and Will were honored to sit down with the Sketchnote General Mike Rohde for this episode. Well, to be honest, Will sat down with him and because of the WONDERFUL hotel lobby wifi, Andy couldn't even phone it in this time.
Andy spends 84 minutes talking about GIFs. Will listens and realizes he has so much to learn about tiny, animated images.
This week, Will and Andy go to design school with Mr. Aaron Draplin! He talks about the tools he uses, both digital and analog, and even does an on-the-spot pocket dump! And, of course, we talk about Field Notes and get an inside scoops on the newest edition, Two Rivers.
This week, the boys sit down with author/podcaster/ poop connoisseur Harry Marks to talk about converting analog into digital and where to keep all that... stuff. We also announce the winner of the Day One giveaway and (of course) spend time in our oft-discussed teen slang vertical.
Andy and Will talk about Markdown. It's an episode completely about Markdown. Seriously. Oh, Will mentions his new Field Notes, and there's a GIVEAWAY!!! But mainly Markdown.
Andy and Will talk about journaling digitally and on paper. Also, we talk about teenage slang, App.Net, GIF management workflows, and one super FLEEK milkshake.
Welcome to Dot Grid! In this episode, we meet our hosts and listen as they wax nostalgic about analog and digital firsts.
