  • Wow I love it, great listen

    The Quickie Podcast is a really fun listen. Dave is very laid-back and funny. The questions he has for his guests are very unique, as well as the conversations. There's really nothing typical about it which is refreshing.

  • Top podcast for designers of all levels

    Brilliant podcast that gives an insight into how other designers work and the battles they have faced on their way to the top! Very informative and Dave gets straight to the point when asking questions. It’s nice to know the problems up and coming designers my face in the future, and not to stop when things get hard but keep working. Hard works pays off! Great job Dave :)

  • Awesome

    Found it on Spotify and now listening via Apple Podcast. Love the episodes, fun to listen and really learning something from the big ones. Also THE attention to ‘smaller businesses or less famous designers’. It is so awesome to hear from all of them! Very inspirational. Dave, very awesome host!
