by Steve Corney
The EBD Show is the read-along companion to The Enough Bucket: A Field Guide for Learning Designers Suffering from Enough Bucket Dysmorphia.Hosted by Steve Corney — speaker, facilitator and long-time learning designer — this show holds up a mirror to the strange habits of our industry. Each episode features a reading from the book alongside extra thoughts and provocations.So what is Enough Bucket Dysmorphia? It is that urge to add “just one more slide” at 2am. It is cramming in shiny features no one asked for. It is burying simple answers under mountains of branching scenarios and variable-driven tricks. And the kicker is that it all comes from good intentions. We want learners to have everything, all the time. That is what makes us caring, and also what makes us weird.This podcast is part confession, part survival guide, and part group therapy for learning designers everywhere. Laugh at the ridiculous things we do, recognise yourself in the villains and the symptoms, and join the c
