I've listened to plenty of different podcasts, but recently all I've been listening to are Debbie Millman's "Design Matters", and Sarah Silverman. Both so good, for very different reasons.

Great recs, thank you! I used to listen to Design Matters btw, this is a good reminder to check it out again. 🙏

I kind of forgot about Design Matters for a while myself. Debbie Millman is such a good interviewer... it's always astounding how much background research she's done.

This was an especially great issue! It's always enjoyable to read these, but this one in particular does a wonderful job of integrating life and work into a seamless, flowing whole -- it's very immersive all the way through. The images illustrate exactly the right moments, too, which adds a lot to the feeling of being there.

Sorry if this is more about the construction of the issue than the issue itself -- it's just a really well-put-together piece! Hopefully there's value in comments about the technical side as well. Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you so much!! Really kind words. And I appreciate the feedback on construction a lot; I try to be thoughtful about the design and structure of what I put out there and it's honestly so cool when someone notices that. I'm experimenting with ways to balance the discursive/personal with the procedural in my issues, so your comment was particularly encouraging and timely. Thanks again.
