Why do we do? Why do they do? This is Why Do, a podcast that explores why people choose to "do", to create, to put new things into the world. Each episode, graphic designers Ben Courtice (of Boring Friends) and Ram Reyes (of Oversettext) talk to artists, designers, and creatives of all sorts to find out what drives them to do what they do, how they got started, and maybe the occasional debate about the best fast foods.
