Clever with Amy Devers
Clever is an award-winning, independent podcast that offers a window into the humanity behind the design of the world around us. In each episode, designer Amy Devers has candid and revealing conversations with the visionaries, culture-makers, and creative forces who shape our world and inform our society. Through a disarming mix of raw candor and honest shop-talk, Clever peels back the layers to unearth the gritty, authentic and sometimes surprising details of their creative paths. Clever Confidential is Clever’s offshoot series where we dig into the lesser told stories of the darker side of design; the shadowy, sometimes sordid, tales hiding under a glossy top coat of respectable legacy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Clever is the only podcast I listen to. I am a graphic designer/art director and listening to all these people make feel less wired. I learn a lot and enjoy it tremendously. Thank you Amy Devers for the great show!
Clever Confidential is a Winner

The Clever podcast remains the best design podcast around, and their spinoff "Clever Confidential" is a winner. Their deep dives are edgy and informative, and the addition of Andrew Wagner is pure genius!

Great podcast, but there are way too many commercials.
Less gushing

Trying to like this design centered podcast, but I can’t with the host’s constant unnecessary and obviously unauthentic giggling after every other sentence...as another review said “gushing”
Inspiring & thought provoking

Every episode is full of thoughtful conversations about not only the creations of designers but challenging ideas about how we interact with our world and the role of design. The conversations are genuine and flowing. Love it.
This show is a smart contemporary look into the design word

The Clever podcast is one of the best podcasts about design that I have found in my quest to know more about art. Amy Devers and Jamie Derringer are connected to the world that they inhabit and bring a behind the scenes perspective with the designers they interview. It’s fun to listen to these interesting conversations and step into their unique, complex and beautiful worlds. It has been great to be able find this smart relevant artistic audio resource like CLEVER Podcast that has helped me understand more about who the movers and shakers in the design industry are. -Sam P
Always a big fan

Talking about design is always hard. The folks at Clever have figured out how to bring a highly visual medium to vivid life with just their (and their guests) words. And if you’re dying for some visuals, well then, check out their accompanying blog and social presence. Good stuff! Thank you Clever!

“Gushing” is the best word I can come up with for these two RISD Beckys.. when any woke topics are brought up.. gag me with a spoon 🥄 🤢
My favorite podcast

Wow. What a joy to listen to this podcast! The guests are always vivid and very much alive. The hosts have such soul and passion. I love it!
Finally! -UPDATED
08/17/2020
I’m very glad that there’s now a good podcast that is for designers, by designers. There’s always an interesting guest who has great insights into design and the world at large. I’d love to see some University of Cincinnati grads on as guests, as the design program at DAAP is world-class. There’s a clear bias towards RISD faculty and alumni. UPDATE: as the years have gone by, I’ve noticed an unfortunate trend of the host injecting her own personal politics into some of these interviews. This should be a program focused solely on design, not a place to forward any personal beliefs they may have about topics unrelated to design... Bad form.
