    Consistency

    Consistency

    The two least consistent people in the world argue about why consistency matters. And why it doesn't. It's pretty much what you'd expect.

    Looks Old Works Great

    Looks Old Works Great

    In an episode that should have been called "a cry for help," Kate and Laura shriek about how old things can actually work just fine and please stop changing everything. The subtext is strong with this one.

Lots of fun!

Graduating with a UX degree in a couple months and wanted to get a glimpse into the world of UX. These ladies are a lot of fun to listen to and have some good thoughts on the industry.

Can you stop laughing while doing podcast

Was listening the PM one, good content but have to stop in the middle. The laughing part is really annoying and cannot make me concentrate to the content. The other podcast is serious and knowledgeable too without laughing all the time:( feels like a child talking but not a professional.

Very helpful if you are new to UX

I have only recently started my career in UX research. Listening to this podcast on my way to work has helped me immensely to ramp up as quickly as possible and think about things that otherwise I might have only discovered after making a mistake.
I have been struggling to find content that's targeted specifically at UX research and I enjoy that so much of what they cover is directly applicable to anyone in the UX field (and beyond).
How can you not enjoy intelliget people drinking and swearing while talking about interesting stuff? Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to improve their work or learn something new!
