  • Weekly ritual

    I’ve listened to Alex Kevin every week since the pandemic. Their hot takes and POVs on advertising, brand strategy and all things New York give me that boost of feeling connected to “my people” each week. Which is why I am writing this review because it’s been a couple of weeks since they dropped a new episode and I’m not even mad… excited to hear what they have cooking up there over at Center. Thanks fellas! Keep it up!

  • A Sight for ‘Saur Eyes

    The guys clearly appreciate a good Barney pun (above), and therefore have outstanding taste. This podcast is Barstool without the casual racism and misogyny, and PTI without the sanctimony. Alex’s reviews of design work are honest, charitable and curious, looking to connect with a designer’s inspiration. Highly recommended. Great on YouTube too, so you can see images of the designs being discussed. (Chef’s kiss emojis all around) Well done bros!

  • I support this episode of Front and Center

    Alex and Kevin discussed seeing each other at the Mets game, Cornkid ™, protein infused drinks and doing whip-its [which they didn’t know much about.] They often discuss branding and design as well and are sponsored by The Dieline the packaging hub of qualité et goût. Today was branding and design lite. I don’t mind that. Last week was incredibly funny. Funnier than today. I laughed out loud several times [also while walking around the bay]. The read of the Dunkin Pumpkin Spice Goldfish release ... more
