Customer Reviews
Lovely show, but sometimes feels like Khoi is reading a script
This show is tremendous. I love to listen to it. It makes me smarter and the guests are great. However, sometimes it’s far too obvious that Khoi is reading. And if he’s not, then he takes on this ‘reading’ voice that’s very contrasted with the conversational speed, tone and sound of the other voices at other points in the podcast, and even very contrasted by how he sounds when he’s just talking.
Hope this helps!
Nice listen
Just a nice warm conversation with a designer, very chill
Interesting topics and clear instructions
This podcast covers a wide variety of cool things and has taught me a lot about different aspects of design. If you want to know more about design topics definitely give it a listen
