  • Enriching content!

    I’m a UX professional of over 15 years and I find this podcast SO helpful to me STILL in this stage of my career as it reaffirms some of the challenges I confront beyond screen design. New designers would help themselves greatly by listening to Jeremy and his all-star guests chop it up about important topics and be prepared for the arduous yet rewarding career or UX.

  • Nice show good sound quality

    The only thing I am not sure about this show is that I really don’t understand the intro line ‘how is your mom and them’. I got no idea what this means but it is very odd for someone to mention my mom.

    ‘How are you.’ Is the kind of thing you say in a conversation. And even in conversations rarely anyone really care. In a podcast, doesn’t make sense to ask your audience how are you, let alone how is your mom…
