This is a truly fantastic podcast. I’m often out walking when I listen and find myself having to stop to take notes so I won’t forget a brilliant idea or insight that is shared. Jeff is clearly passionate about design and shares his enthusiasm by asking thoughtful questions and choosing fascinating guests. I learn so much from each episode, and that is a true gift.
It’s growing!

I always listen to this podcast. I am a creative director and have for a long time followed Jeff and his work since the past 15 years. The guest and his content here is very good and often challenges my thinking and perspective in ways that few other content channels do.
Wonderful, almost easy listening design podcast
