The hosts have a sharp, often humorous take on complex topics like the economy and tariffs, especially as they affect the home and design industry. It makes subjects that could feel dry actually engaging and memorable.

    What I appreciate most are the interviews. The conversations with innovators—particularly artists and artisans—are consistently thoughtful and insp... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Thursday Show: Has Google Lens ruined vintage shopping? Plus: Julio Torres collabs with Sabai
Q: What is the main impact of Google Lens on vintage shopping according to the discussion?
Google Lens provides quick price approximations and product identifications, which can educate buyers but also distort prices through inflated comparisons, creating a surface-level certainty rather than true expertise.
The Thursday Show: Change at the top for MillerKnoll. Plus: Why Leanne Ford doesn't take on clients
Q: What happened with MillerKnoll's leadership change and what does it mean for the company going forward?
The hosts summarize that the CEO stepped down amid a tumultuous period shaped by the merger of two large brands and external pressures; the lack of a clear succession plan and ensuing market skepticism suggest a challenging path ahead as the company navigates leadership transition and strategic direction.
Steven Volpe on what 'formal' means today
Q: What advice would you give design students just starting out?
If you're passionate about design, pursue a place in the industry where you can grow and persevere, because the craft will endure and your persistence will lead to opportunities.
The Thursday Show: What happens next at Holly Hunt? Plus: Susan Clark of Radnor on design centers, trade shows, and collectible furniture
Q: How is ShopHouzz's wind-down framed in the context of Houzz's overall business and the home-ecommerce landscape?
ShopHouzz's shutdown is framed as part of a broader pattern of failed consumer e-commerce ventures in home design, with the platform having been effectively detached from Houzz and run by cart.com, suggesting e-commerce is incredibly challenging in this sector despite Houzz's continued focus on services and lead generation.
The Thursday Show: What happens next at Holly Hunt? Plus: Susan Clark of Radnor on design centers, trade shows, and collectible furniture
Q: What does the current Holly Hunt leadership shakeup mean for the brand's future direction?
The hosts expect a strategic shift under new leadership, potentially moving the brand more decisively in a new creative direction and away from past governance under the former creative director, with caution about how staffing changes and a land-lease dynamic could affect profitability and positioning in the trade channel.
