John Oxton-King and Jon Hicks started broadcasting from their ex-RAF base office in Upper Rissington in 2007. Conceived as a web-geek version of Gardeners Question Time! We also have regular(ish) spots - housekeeping, font of the week and UX technique of the week. 'Week' is obviously a very loose term here.

  1. You'd be good at glassblowing!

    You'd be good at glassblowing!

    We recorded this episode just after the UK General Election in December 2019, so our moods were a little sombre. Answering your lovely questions helped us forget all that though! We knew we wouldn't get it edited before Christmas, so this is "The New Year" episode.

  2. 11/20/2019

    If you see someone without a smile

    Two days, two dinners and two locations later, this time we cover design systems, UX science, Greggs sausage rolls, the future of the web and biscuits.

    22: Bonus - Mental health

    We recorded lots of little experimental sections for episode 22 to see if anything stuck. Many of them probably won't see the light of day but we did just want to share a bit where we talk about mental health issues.

  4. 10/24/2019

    It's bulb time!

    Attempts to improve the audio this time but still a few plosives in places. Pop! It's all the usual gubbings: Housekeeping; Font of the Week; UX Technique of the Week and of course Listener Questions. If we didn't answer yours this time, we'll probably get to it next time.

  5. Housekeeping & warming up after a 10 year break

    Housekeeping & warming up after a 10 year break

    10 years of housekeeping is discussed, whilst John OK fails to concentrate on anything but the recording process and practicing his heavy breathing routine. Fortunately Mr. Hicks holds it all together, consummate professional that he is. That is right until the end when Jon (short for Jonathan) makes a revelation that will rock the design industry to its very core. Clickbait? You betcha!

    Preflight checks

    Gearing up to record Season Two after a 10 year break!

  7. Twenty

    Twenty

    Stupidly, we recorded this one when we were both knackered, and it shows. It’s the longest we’ve done yet, and we’ve had to edit it to within an inch of it’s life to make it vaguely listenable! Anyway, for better or for worse, here’s episode 20!

  8. Xmas Special - 2008

    Xmas Special - 2008

    We wish you a merry festive period and a satisfactorily refreshing New Year! Can you spot all 3 subtle earworms in this podcast?
