Last week I told you I was launching a podcast about design called Clever, and gave you a taste of what we’ve been cooking up. Clever is hosted by yours truly along with my friend Jaime Derringer, editor of the popular online modern design magazine Design Milk. Together, we are having candid and revealing conversations with the super-smart people who are shaping the world around us through design. Why? Because we believe the built world becomes a way more fascinating place when you have a window into the humanity behind its design.

We’ve now officially launched with our first two episodes, please have a listen!
