Listen "Episode 3- Kitchen Sink Syndrome"
Episode Synopsis
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 result? Flip cards, accordions, variables, JavaScript — a course so bloated it needs a sitemap and a mascot .
Steve shares the signs, the symptoms, and even his own epic fail — proving that just because you can build it doesn’t mean anyone wants to learn it.
