  • A fun, informative show!

    It’s wonderful to be invited into the bar to hang out with these old friends! Elliot and Todd dig into the origins of things that are so familiar we’ve forgotten to wonder how they came about in the first place. I always learn something new with each episode, yet the fellas’ easy banter doesn’t make it seem like school at all!

  • Music 👍🏽

    Glad to hear y’all recognize the link between music and design. I have yet to be in a studio where the playlist wasn’t as curated as the book.

  • Who knew … well, these guys knew.

    Love listening! Each episode is great from the banter between the hosts, to the ambiance, and of course the topics. Their topics of discussion so often are on content that I have familiarity with but would have never guessed have such a rich history. I’m not gonna say I “need” all the knowledge they share but I am sure entertained as I gain it.
