  • 577 – Enskilled Knowledge & Education of Attention, Carl Woods
    Jun 23 2026

    Carl Woods from the University of Queensland and I discuss the concept of "enskilled knowledge" and the critical difference between educating attention (showing someone where to look) and the knowledge that comes from doing a thing in a place. Carl gives a ton of wonderful examples from wine tasting and surfing to handing down family recipes and navigating boats across an open ocean!

  • 575 – On Water Bags and Adapting to Variability, Load, and Pain
    Jun 9 2026
