About Sketchplanations - The Podcast
Big Ideas explored through Little Pictures. We offer up great conversations about ideas based on simple and insightful sketches in the Sketchplanations online collection (https://sketchplanations.com/), with the aim of giving listeners something fun and interesting to have their own conversations about. This is an explainer podcast for the curious-minded. Topics covered include science, behavioural economics, wellbeing, nature, psychology frameworks, business models, cognitive biases, and even domestic life-hacks. It's certainly not a self-help podcast, but you might take something away that helps you notice or even enjoy the world around you a little more. Sketchplanations illustrator and author Jono Hey joins lifelong friends Tom Pellereau (2011 Apprentice Winner) and Rob Bell (Engineer & Broadcaster) to share ideas and stories catalysed by each week's sketch. The 3 of us have been friends for over 20 years and have always enjoyed delving into all sorts of conversation topics - usually with some silliness along the way. Hosted on Acast.

The Diderot Effect
Published 2 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And that makes you want to go and buy some more stuff. And so you were totally fine before maybe, but now you've bought this thing. You're like, oh, this other thing's no good anymore. I'm going to buy another thing. I'm going to buy another thing and so on. And so that's the Diderot effect, this sort of spiral of purchases. So with the Diderot example and his dressing gown, was it? Do we know what other possessions of his he was unhappy with all of a sudden? Yeah, it's a really fun, randomly fun kind of essay, much like you wouldn't have expected from this crazy title. And the gist of the essay is he's basically, he's living a really simple life and he's got like a table, which is a plank and it's propped up on some bricks. […]
