The EBD Show

The EBD Show is the read-along companion to The Enough Bucket: A Field Guide for Learning Designers Suffering from Enough Bucket Dysmorphia. Every learning designer suffers from it - staying up ‘til 2am adding “just one more slide,” cramming in shiny features no one asked for, and burying learners in branching paths they’ll never click. That’s Enough Bucket Dysmorphia (EBD). Hosted by Steve Corney - speaker, facilitator, and long-time EBD sufferer, each episode reads a chapter from the book, calls

Episode 12 - The Curse of Conditional Learning

The EBD Show ·

2025/12/09

The chapter where a simple task becomes a six-module prequel trilogy nobody asked for.In this episode, we crack open Chapter 10: The Curse of Conditional Learning — the moment your “quick refresher” turns into a full-blown academic saga with prerequisites that have prerequisites. This is the symptom where we, as learning designers, panic that learners “won’t understand Topic A without Topics B–Z”… and suddenly Jimmy can’t submit a risk assessment without completing a 45-minute history lesson on

The EBD Show ·

2025/12/02

Your LMS has become Alcatraz and your learners are doing hard time for clicking too fast.In this episode we read along with Chapter 9 and unpack how “tracking everything” + “forcing everything” turns a course into a digital prison. Timers. Locked slides. Pop-ups that scream “NO SKIPPING.” It’s the perfect storm of EBD. Steve also shares his own epic failure where he built a course so controlled it basically needed a parole board. If your progress bar is running the show, this one will hurt… and fix

“Complexity: now available in six confusing formats none of which you asked for.”Ever built something simple… then sabotaged it because it looked too easy? Welcome to The Anti-Simplicity Bias — the sneaky EBD strain that convinces learning designers that “simple” means “lazy.” In this episode, Steve Corney cracks open Chapter 8 of The Enough Bucket and confesses how he’s turned clean, functional courses into corporate drag shows of logic layers, jargon soup, and fake sophistication.

Episode 9- Pathway Paradox

The EBD Show ·

2025/10/27

In this episode of The EBD Show, Steve reads Chapter 7: The Pathway Paradox from The Enough Bucket.The Pathway Paradox is what happens when our obsession with personalisation and “choose-your-own-adventure” learning runs wild. We spend months building multiple pathways, alternate routes, and branching logic — only to discover that most learners click whatever’s fastest to get to the end. This chapter digs into the irony of over-designing choice: when our good intentions to empower learners actually

Episode 8 - Interactivity Fever

The EBD Show ·

2025/10/21

In this episode of The EBD Show, Steve reads Chapter 6: Interactivity Fever from The Enough Bucket.Interactivity Fever is that contagious condition where learning designers can’t resist adding more buttons, sliders, click-and-reveals, and drag-and-drops — not because the learner needs them, but because the designer can. It’s the moment where creative ambition quietly replaces purpose, and suddenly your simple learning experience starts looking like a Vegas slot machine. This chapter calls out how

2025/10/13

In this episode of The EBD Show, Steve reads Chapter 5: Justin Case from The Enough Bucket.Meet Justin Case — the overly cautious learning designer who can’t stop adding just in case content.

This chapter dives into how Justin Case thinking infects good design

2025/10/06

In this episode of The EBD Show, Steve reads Chapter 4: The Clutter of Care from The Enough Bucket.The Clutter of Care is what happens when good intentions go rogue. It’s when you care so much about your learners that you give them everything — every detail, every link, every download, every “just in case” explanation — until the message drowns in noise. This chapter unpacks how compassion can quietly turn into chaos, why overhelping hurts more than it helps, and how to spot when your empathy has

Episode 5- Perfectionism in Disguise.

The EBD Show ·

2025/09/30

In this episode of The EBD Show, Steve reads Chapter 3: Perfectionism in Disguise from The Enough Bucket.Perfectionism in Disguise is the sneaky form of Enough Bucket Dysmorphia that pretends to be “quality control.” You tell yourself you’re polishing, refining, making it better — but really, you’re just stuck in endless tweaks and “just one more” revisions. The module doesn’t get sharper, it just gets slower, heavier, and further away from the learner’s needs. This chapter exposes the signs and

2025/09/16

In this episode of The EBD Show, Steve Corney reads Chapter 1: Kitchen Sink Syndrome from The Enough Bucket.Kitchen Sink Syndrome is what happens when a simple brief — “help new starters find the bathroom and log into their computer” — turns into a 47-module epic with drag-and-drops, branching scenarios, and a Vyond animation no one asked for . It’s the purest symptom of Enough Bucket Dysmorphia: you care about the learner, you know how to build every feature, so you do them all at once. The
