  • Sean from Atlanta
    Very professional "NPR" feel
    An amazingly well-produced podcast. It's very remininscent of a NPR story in it's professionalism. The podcast does an incredible job of combining interviews, narration, and audio of difference-makers. I can't imagine how many hours they put into making it - put it's worth it! Definitely worth listening to and waiting for!
  • ArifMHasan
    Phenomenal Storytelling
    Design has become a hot topic for bloggers and podcasters, and it's become difficult to find podcasts that match the quality of 99 Percent Invisible or 20K Hertz. Speaking of Design might join them, with an additional flair for storytelling that bridges the gap between those two podcasts and narrative-driven podcasts like This American Life. Well worth a listen.

    Amazing Podcast
    This podcast is on par if not surpasing NPR. The high quality of content matches the high quality of production value. Each show is well reseached and has a great mix of researched audio and interviews. If you have even a slightest intrest in design and construction. This podcast is for you.
