Customer Reviews
see where is says "rib tips"
wonderful show! if you liked the badcast you'll love the, nah not gonna' finish that. this is a really good show even if you're not a designer. i can't wait to hear the show next week, congrats on the launch donny and nate.
Flashes of a great podcast but overall, could be better...
Ok, so this show really has some good moments, but Nate's need to talk during every square inch of this show kind of drags it down. His "hip" banter grates your nerves after a few episodes. I wish he would just tone it down slightly and stop tying to be so over the top. They have some really cool guests and the portfolio guide was a great episode... some episodes are just extremely boring riffing on what you put in your cubicle and other back and forth that would only be interesting to their friends and circle. Could be better but isn't.
Best show to listen to while working.
Love the show! Runs a little long sometimes but it's smart, funny and it beats usual dry stuffy podcasts about design, marketing etc. Keep up the great quality and engaging conversations. The big question is when is Steve Gordon doing his own spin-off?
