A podcast that is, and isn't, about design

    114. Design is a b*****e

    114. Design is a b*****e

    Hello. Welcome to our first episode of 2023! We're the Didi and Gogo of podcasting. So while we wait for Godot come and rummage with us through the dustbin of design and pop culture detritus.

    113. CRYPTO CHANCERS

    113. CRYPTO CHANCERS

    Rob has written to his MP and Ministers about AI art and the rights of illustrators. Jon remains wracked with self doubt and incertitude. Yes, it's another cheery episode of the podcast that is and isn't about design!

    112. Always make all the bacon

    I'm sure that there have been more Prime Ministers this year than North v South episodes and it's all Rob's fault. But here we are again; talking about the state of Twitter and what the alternatives are, as well as the usual design news and things on our desks.

    111. What is kibbled onion?

    In which we bid farewell to a truly great illustrator Kim Jung Gi.

    We talk about how much daily graft do we put into our creative lives and are we satisfied by the output?

    Other news includes LEGO and D&D, Lucian Freud at the National, Bonnier Books logo, GDPR nightmare, Andy Budd's world of wisdom, followed by the ying and yang of pies.

    109. Dynamic isle flotante

    After a brief (for us) hiatus of 84 days we return to blether on about, in no particular order: Branston pickle, vertical cities, AI art generators, Jessica Hische, Rings of Power, Design Principals, Awesome Merchandise, Tattly, LEGO Atari, and Fungus the Bogeyman.

Food for thought

Engaging discussions (and occasional rants) about design, working, films, Oxford commas, books, and the rules of pie construction. Always packed with interesting stuff to explore.

Design, plus... stuff.

This doesn't let being a podcast about design get in the way of film, TV, book, pie & beer chat, which is how it should be. Like a chat with your mates (but you don't need to join in.) Recommended.

Pies R Us

Top notch rambling chats from two of the Podworld's most grounded creative types. A link to my roots – their words reach across the Irish Channel with warming tales of savouries from the Fatherland. I listen to Jon and Rob while walking the dog. You should too. And if you don't have a dog to walk, get one. Then you can listen to NvS.
