  • Best podcasts do more listening and less talking

    The content is good. And this is a difficult thing to master, but it really really bugs me how much the host interrupts the guest.

I di... more

  • Fun and fresh

    I’ve only listened to the Von Glitschka and Aaron Draplin episodes thus far but it seems like a good podcast thus far, I’ve laughed along with the co-hosts and they ask some good questions to these big-name designers.

  • Good Stuff!

    It is tough to find a good design podcast that doesn't put you to sleep. These guys keep it interesting, ask the right questions, and don't take themselves too seriously. It's definitely worth a listen!
