  • A brilliant and uncommon design resource

    Stellar podcast, I haven’t heard (or seen?) much else like it. Introspective but not indulgent, Intellectual but not pretentious, it brings a range of sincere voices and unique perspectives to the fore.

    I think the episodes start flowing naturally from maybe 10 or 11 onwards, and with multiple guests I am vaguely offput in the first five or ten minutes, only to be frantically searching up their work once I have heard them speak for an hour. Here’s hoping James, Drew and Elena keep it up.
