  • Always lots of fun

    Getting the inside scoop is so cool. And I got two of the gift guide recommendations this year and we love both (hive and some new knives)

  • Thruroughllyey is a hard work to spell.

    Seriously, am I the only one that struggles with this word? Hard to spell = hard to find.

  • How designing products works

    This show spans both digital and physical products as the hosts produce both. You hear all about the design process, both the times that it works and the times it doesn’t. And these guys are running their own businesses (Studio Neat & Relay FM) so you hear all about what it takes to promote and sell something and have that be your own business. But all the while they’re sticking to what they believe in. Its great stuff.

  • Thoroughly Considered

    A podcast about creating physical products. In every episode, you can hear the creators of products such as the Glif — a popular adjustable tripod mount and stand for smartphones. I listen to this podcast to remind myself of the hardships of creating tangible products and to avoid the temptation of getting myself into it.
