North v South

Engaging discussions (and occasional rants) about design, working, films, Oxford commas, books, and the rules of pie construction. Always packed with interesting stuff to explore.

This doesn't let being a podcast about design get in the way of film, TV, book, pie & beer chat, which is how it should be. Like a chat with your mates (but you don't need to join in.) Recommended.

Top notch rambling chats from two of the Podworld's most grounded creative types. A link to my roots – their words reach across the Irish Channel with warming tales of savouries from the Fatherland. I listen to Jon and Rob while walking the dog. You should too. And if you don't have a dog to walk, get one. Then you can listen to NvS.

I just really enjoy this podcast and they always end with a British pie at the end, and I've just been craving to try one, but being in the US they're not as common. But I just made a reseveration at a fancy tea room in the area and plan to go to a store called the English Shop tomorrow to pick a couple up. Don't listen if food easily sways you!

Not being a designer, I shouldn't really be the right audience for this. However, the fact that I am just goes to show how delightful Jon and Rob are to listen to. I learn, I laugh, and I salivate as they discuss design, typography, their own working lives and, of course, pies. They're not at all snobby about the subject matter (such a relief) and therefore I urge anyone and everyone to listen to these two chaps have a chat, share an occasional rant, and review pies.

Utterly wonderful company on a Friday afternoon. Always gets me thinking about familiar aspects of design in a different way. Essentially: two clever, funny chaps take all the design noise out there and digest it into a bloody nice chat. And then they eat pies.

By far one of my favorite podcasts. It hovers somewhere between art, design, pie, and someone's drunken conversation about the beauty of the mundane. Really great to listen to while working. High recommend to pretty much anyone.

The mellifluous design led rants, I mean discourse of a pair of down-trodden… ahem… down-to-earth chums from opposing ends of the social spectrum… er, country. What's not to like? Informed (sometimes) chat, chortles, chomps (pies) and ch… slurps (ales)… chaps, this podcast about, but not about design is a delight. You deserve to be big… after all them pies.

Jon and Rob, the verbal soundalikes of Adam Buxton and Paul Mason, discuss all things design... industry news, techniques/process, work experiences and their freelance/self-employment life lessons, all followed by the devouring of pastry-covered meats. An hour well-spent each week.

I love a flat vowel, design, and a good pie, so all in all, a perfect podcast for me! North v South is a wonderful antidote for a stressful day, and worth an hour of anyone’s week.

If you like mellow conversations with friends, all things design, the odd bit about music, occasional table references (yes I got that joke) and pies, you are going to love this podcast. Pass it on.

It's more North ❤️ South than “versus”. The podcast equivalent of listening to a couple of designer mates sitting in a pub chatting about anything and everything that comes into their heads… and then their pies arrive, so they talk about those.
