OPENING

Welcome to Design Talk!

(Podcast goals in a sentence)

We need to talk about design! 

Recall the frustration YOU FEEL whenever THE COMPUTER SAYS NO!

The Design Talk podcast wrestles with design issues in software, games, digital technologies, and the systems that make the World.

This podcast is for you!

Anyone who cares about the things we make and use, and digital things in particular.

…because we are all, in some way, involved in designing.

Students, engineers, developers, modellers, artists, architects, managers, researchers. 

The act of design, DESIGN-ING is one of the most impactful yet obscure domains of human action.

Assumptions surrounding users are, naturally, encoded AND built-in to the structure of any particular design.

And these assumptions can exclude and disempower people.

But designs can also empower and enhance the abilities of us all.

We are interested in talking about and understanding design concerns across a range of fields; "design for the wild" as Bill Buxton would say.

From game design to all things digital.

The economics of design.

Design's entanglements with regulation and standards. 

Designing organisations, teams, outsourcing, interorganisational systems, international supply chains, logistics and more.

All are designs, and are designed in some way.

So, what is the essence of design and the backstory to designs we’re familiar with?

Not just the technology, objects or 'things'. 

How does a particular design work in practice.

And how is design work itself performed.

Let’s dig into the heart of creative action, of hacking and changing the world.

Let’s hear from entrepreneurs and innovators, and uncover the politics of innovation.

The challenges of finding and building an audience, a market, of introducing the new.

The personal, social, human side to design work.

Its history;

the practice and reality of crafting:

of tinkering, making, breaking and making again;

learning through failure.

We hope you enjoy the first season.

Come, listen to our take on technology in stories, panels, interviews and discussions.

We really do need to talk about design!
