  • Lots of nuggets

    Great podcast. UX writers and content designers chat to interesting stuff they’re doing/thoughts on trends and challenges we face in the industry.

    Patrick (the host) knows his stuff, but guides the chat with curiosity.

    Well worth a listen - easy way to stay on top of things and feel part of a big community of writers (whether you’re in Silicon Valley or not :)
