Podcast Description
Design Critique encourages usable product designs for a better customer experience. We do not accept advertising nor "review units" from manufacturers--we spend our own money on the products reviewed for a purity you won't find on other websites and shows. Using principles and experience from our careers helping clients and employers create usable products, we critique software and hardware based on long-term experience with them in our own lives. PLUS interviews with user experience practitioners, authors, educators, and more!

Customer Reviews
Easy-going and Thorough Discussion
Tim and Tom take an informal yet meticulous approach in their review and analysis of various products. They have a low-key, natural style, and a purely non-commercial feel. Their ideas always inspire me.
Usability focused on the User's Perspective
Tim & Tom do a bang up job of keeping the podcasts light, while focusing on the details that you'd like to know before spending money on something you have to live with for a long time.
tim & tom rock
i'm starting graduate school in the fall and i hope to land a job in a usability lab. the design critique podcasts have been helpful to me learn about user testing for one thing. this i will apply to my studies and job (hopefully).
