  • Reawakening

    What I particularly love about this podcast is how it awakens your love and attention to design in many forms . It’s honest and raw without turning designers into rockstars but rather visceral engaging humans. The effort that goes into this is beyond admiral . Bravo Vince and Luca

  • Great Listening

    I’m a creative or try to be. I’ve listened to a few of Vince Frosts podcasts on leading creatives I’m hooked, I’m now intrigued who’s the next creative to be featured. It’s great relaxed interviewing, informative, honest, smart and funny. Books are essential on creatives but these podcasts deserve a listen on the move or while creating.

  • Fun, Friendly, and Focused

    I discovered this — like many podcasts — by chance and have been thrilled with the episodes that I’ve listened to.

I appreciate Vince’s tenor and tone and how he brings his wealth of experience in design practice to his discussion with designers from different disciplines and areas of expertise. He brings out the best in his guests. As a designer who works in varied practi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Designing site and place with Jeff Fearon & Tim Hay
Q: What inspired your dual career in architecture and design, and how did Fearon Hay start?
Tim and Jeff describe a formative upbringing in design and construction, plus a late-20s decision to leave previous jobs because the chemistry between them and the landscape of New Zealand encouraged them to start their own practice—an approach that valued collaboration, simplicity, and a hands-on path to delivering real projects.
Designing life with nature with Michael Kovac and Karina Maher
Q: When did you first decide to become an architect, and how did that path unfold?
Michael shares that he always loved designing and chose architecture early on, driven by a lifelong fascination with creating and shaping spaces, which gradually evolved into starting his own practice after working with a modernist mentor and taking on projects that grew his portfolio.
Designing a legacy with Koos de Keijzer
Q: What changes have you seen in architecture since you started?
Architecture has become more image-driven, with clients briefing architects using visual references like Pinterest, which affects the authenticity of the design process.
Designing a legacy with Koos de Keijzer
Q: How did the exposure to design and culture affect you?
The prideful history of modern architecture in Holland greatly inspired me and made me value design significantly.
Designing a life rebuilt with Jeremy Bull
Q: How do you gauge a great place?
