Episode 99: A polished Saveloy
March 17, 2020 13:00 - 49 minutes - 27.7 MBIf you can't polish a turd then can you polish a saveloy? Here at North V South we give it a bloody good attempt. This week in the podcast that is, but isn't, recorded very often we discuss (among other things): Black Library novels; applying immediacy filters and other unwanted tips; a new boardgame magazine Senet ; War of the Worlds; The creator of Minifigs; Darth Maul and Fighting Fantasy, Ellie Sampson paper art, notable bookcover designs of 2019, and, to cap it off, pies. Although pies w...
Episode 98: Not much demand for herding
November 28, 2019 15:00 - 57 minutes - 26.5 MBEpisode 98 is piping hot and cooling on the window sill. We take a peek under the crisp pastry lid of the zeitgeist and find cyber trucks, Chris Ware comics, lovely stationery shops, board games a go-go, cartoon nihilism, and the inner gubbins of pies. With just under a month until Christmas and a Tory junta, join North V South in a societal meltdown as we dance naked through the streets, waving our willies at our clients as we go. North V South Hoeffler V Hasselhoff Nukes V Rebukes Rusty Br...
Episode 97: Uncleftish Beholding
November 15, 2019 14:15 - 52 minutes - 24.4 MBNorth v South – less regular than a bran-intolerate heroin addict. We ask the questions that the Conservative and Labour parties are too afraid to ask: How are your biorhythms this morning? Will there be baby woodpeckers in Rob's garden this winter? What is a brand guru and is it strictly legal? And, finally, what kind of casserole would Darth Vader eat?
Episode 96: A long discussion about eggs
October 10, 2019 16:00 - 50 minutes - 23.8 MBGet ready to shed 96 tears. We're back. We talk Wim Crouwel, Somerset House, Nokia, rival podcasts, paper aeroplanes, Lego adverts, ketchup and the imminent end of civilisation.
Episode 95: Pumping yourself on the sofa
September 12, 2019 15:15 - 1 hour - 28.3 MBYou want eclectic. We deliver. Our Deeply Unintelligent™ AI units have digested the internet and spend an hour talking about a whole load of utter nonsense: Camping, depression, 3D resin printers, Blender, Bocage, Lemmie, Mindhunter, Creative constipation, Inktober, District 9, Alan Moore, Vanta black cars, Boots, John Harris, Dieter Rams, London Design Festival. And pies.
Episode 94: People are stupid
August 05, 2019 14:00 - 50 minutes - 23.5 MBA ruined building stands alone, wreathed in vines, wrapped in mystery. Its cracked portico reveals a dark and brooding entrance, occasionally brightened by a pulsing red dot of light. Inside lurks Episode 94 of the podcast that is, and isn't, about design. Lost in time. Forgotten by civilisation. Waiting. Just for you… In this episode we look at a new Akira, online criticism, linocuts, LEGO Space, single line typefaces, meander maps and Apollo XI in realtime.
Episode 93: Go outside and act like a turkey
July 05, 2019 09:00 - 48 minutes - 22.5 MBHello. It's us again. We continue to creep towards a hundred much like Geoff Boycott in his pomp. This week we talk about, in no particular order: model robots, LEGO Space, Worzel Gummidge, notebooks, touch typing, Mac Pro, sweet wrappers, knots, the evils of social media, and, biensûr, pies.
Episode 92: Back to the fog and bad food
May 29, 2019 08:00 - 52 minutes - 24.4 MBRoll up, roll up. Listen to a dog drinking beer. From Belgium. The beer, that is. The dog's from England, mate. In other news: Panic's Playdate, BT's new look, Manga at the British something or other, Microsoft browsers, Shanghai bookshops, and, naturellement, pies.
Episode 91: Why, why, why, why, why, why
May 10, 2019 12:00 - 51 minutes - 23.9 MBThis week's podcast focuses on things we make that have no real worth. Many would say that covers this podcast and they're probably right. We look at recent news items that follow this trend; such as re-edits of 42-year-old children's films, speculative architectural visualisations, and self-digitising notebooks. "Why, why, why, why, why?", asks one of our hosts. But without making things that seemingly have no worth, would we end up with beauties like x6udpngx (https://x6ud.github.io/#/)?
Episode 90: Zombie Pie
April 26, 2019 12:00 - 59 minutes - 27.8 MBWelcome to the first episode in a new series of North V South: the podcast that is, and isn't, about design. We're talking taking breaks, blue plaques, iMacs, Kellog's, Capcom and Hellboy, among many other bits and bobs of design-related ephemera. Give us a whirl. You never know, you might like it. Also, please leave a review for us in iTunes. We'll love you for ever if you do.
Episode 89: Cheese and kimchee
February 15, 2019 10:00 - 58 minutes - 27.1 MBIn the final episode of season 3, Jon kicks proceedings off with a potentially career-ending rant. The subsequent conversation with Rob takes an unexpected turn courtesy of Jodorowsky's Dune, a Breville Sandwich Maker, wordless novels, giant spiders, martinis and, of course, pies. News is fleeting.
Episode 88: Mutually Sporadic
February 08, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 28 MBIn this week's podcast that's got more Fanny than Craddock, Jon's been playing with his tentacles, while Rob's been gawping at old chaps. We take a gander at the new ultra-post-rationalised Netflix ident, a risable Walkers crisp packet redesign, a Linea Sketch review, and Phillip Sulke's superb tanker photography. Something's in the freezer and it might be alive. Don't worry, it's just Rob's pie.
Episode 87: Moldy Warp Speed
January 25, 2019 20:00 - 53 minutes - 24.4 MBIn the podcast that no one talks about, we talk moles. Not the unpronounceable notebooks. Not the gloopy green stuff you double dip into (don't deny it). That's right, those little spelunking furry dudes. We also talk Comics / Tabletop Games / Slack Attacks / Elastic Brand Podcast / Dieter Rams / Pies and more…
Episode 86: From the depths of my chest freezer
October 31, 2018 16:00 - 1 hour - 32.3 MBIt's Hallowe'en and the portal has opened between the now and the never never. But enough about Rob's bowel movements… This week in the podcast that is and isn't about human sacrifice, our Agents of Filth are rifling through Uncle Ted's VHS collection. Not that one. Rob and Jon talk about their favourite moments in horror films. News includes the End of the World, Slasher Art, A Sleep Tracker for Vampires and Boris Johnson's Underpants. Quelle Horreur! Pies are fresh from Sweeny Todd's… Wait,...
Episode 85: Bollocky font stuff
October 22, 2018 13:15 - 1 hour - 27.9 MBThis week's episode brings you forgettable fonts, silly phones, easter eggs, Inktober, and an adieu to Carlos Esquerra.
Episode 84: I'm not a dunker
September 28, 2018 13:00 - 1 hour - 32.9 MBYou know that dusty old shop that's always closed? You know the one, slumped between CoffeeKings and Harvey's Estate Agents on the high street. That's where episode 84 is being recorded right now. We sent you a text on your Punkt phone. Didn't you get it? Following on from Creative Review's recent flurry of articles on the matter, Rob and Jon ask if design can save retail? Can design save anything at all? They do their best to obfuscate the entire debate. News includes Apple (briefly, you'll ...
Episode 83: Read this panel next, dummy!
August 30, 2018 14:00 - 1 hour - 41.6 MBThis week our very special guest is Dan Berry: host of the wonderful podcast Make It Then Tell Everybody (http://makeitthentelleverybody.com). Dan is also a comic artist, teacher, pen whittler, desk collector, and log cabin dweller. We talk to Dan about making comics, his career, industrial poisoning, child labour, and death. News includes Luna landing, V&A Gaming, Anish Kapoor's massive (dangerous) hole, and jerks on the internet. Special Guest: Dan Berry.
Episode 82: A slipper of a podcast
August 27, 2018 15:00 - 52 minutes - 24.1 MBWe're back again, with a hiatus haiku. You are most welcome. The podcast that is, and isn't, but was, on holiday is back. Has the hot summer exposed any hidden secrets in your back garden? We catch up with news and remind ourselves which end of the microphone to hold. Rob looks at orange Lego spaceships, papermakers and Studio Ghibli. Jon takes a look at The Design Museum's events arm(s), a comic in the Booker Prize longlist, and a celebration of the BBC Micro. Switching to Mode 0… Pies are ...
Episode 81: The one with Mark
June 20, 2018 12:00 - 1 hour - 37.7 MBWe're delighted to have another special guest on the show. This time it's Mark Phoenix, web developer and co-host of the excellent Relative Paths podcast (https://relativepaths.uk). He talks to us from underneath his secret blanket den in Cheltenham about his career in code. Chat meanders across diverse subjects such as grapefruit curses, Baby robins, Extremity comic (https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/extremity), Imaginary Worlds (https://www.imaginaryworldspodcast.org) podcast, Yoda's ho...
Episode 80: The cross-section of a Damien Hirst
June 13, 2018 20:00 - 54 minutes - 25.8 MBIn the podcast that is and isn't about GDPR we discuss anything that doesn't involve mailing lists, sign up forms and panicky marketing teams. Jon is at a crossroads and Rob is generally cross with anything to do with crossing London. What time is love? No one knows, now we're all wearing Nuncs. Also with Roger Dean, Atari and Bill Gold, it's like the Seventies never went away. Now they've gone, it's pie-time! Two of them. Both encased. In case you have forgotten what a pie is.
Episode 79: The one with Ben the Illustrator
May 21, 2018 15:30 - 1 hour - 31.1 MBThis week we are joined by special guest and master of the Bézier curve, Ben the Illustrator. News includes an Oliver Postgate exhibition, in-game art in Codemasters' Onrush, Microsoft's adaptive controller for disabled gamers, Monde's bookend models, and the curious case of the European Museum of the year. We talk to Ben about his career in illustration, his creative process, his plans for the future, and why social media should be a two-way conversation. Pies are a Pieminister Kate and Sidn...
Episode 78: Mountweazel
May 08, 2018 07:30 - 1 hour - 30.9 MBOur hosts take a listen to a couple of new podcasts and the new sound effect library from the BBC. They ponder the task that faces Flickr's new owners and moot a possible visit to Thought Bubble in Leeds later this year. Rob and Jon discuss tools they use everyday to help them do their work more efficiently. Find out who will survive when the grid shuts down. Jon's pie gets more points than Rob's. The world is in turmoil.
Episode 77: The one with Daniel
April 20, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 31.4 MBDaniel Benneworth-Gray — book designer, writer, Twitter noise, and all round nice chap — joins us on the podcast that is, and isn't, about design. We talk about his career in design, as well as gravy carbonisation, and telephone chairs. News includes a new freelance rate calculator, Birmingham Design Festival, Record Store Day, and Rob updates us with Martin Sorrell’s latest movements. This week’s pies are from Marks and Spencer, Pieminister and Yorkshire Baker. One of the pies is called Kevi...
Episode 76: Biolegio
April 19, 2018 17:00 - 1 hour - 30.2 MBWe're back for series three! Like a run down syphilitic bus. What's happened in our absence? Not a whole lot. Creative Review has gone to the paywall, Charlie Higson got stuck in a twisty maze of passageways, all alike, Fonts got all, like, look at us, we're fonts, we're so academic. And Hellboy is coming to a tabletop near you. This week we talk digital tipping jars: Patreon, Kofi and the like. Rob's considering throwing his flat cap onto the cobbles and asking for donations. Jon works his m...
Episode 75: I love a bit of blank media
March 14, 2018 08:00 - 1 hour - 36.9 MBIn the final episode of a rather intermittent season 2, our emissaries of ephemera discuss whether social media has levelled the playing field for both Davids and Goliaths. News includes Wacom’s artist profile films, how Michael Bierut chooses typefaces, t shirts as design, academicism, The Culture, Dr Who’s rebrand, and Oxford Commas (see what I did there). One pie is disqualified for being a stew with a lid. LOTR Chapter 5: A Conspiracy Unmasked is discussed in the extra bits.
Episode 74: Noggin the Nog
February 23, 2018 13:00 - 38 minutes - 18.3 MBThis week our podcasting curators visit the British Museum, taking in snarky mugs, cuneiform receipts, Roman curses, walrus chess pieces, Portuguese custard tarts, and a very noisy pub. NB – This episode was recorded in an insanely busy British Museum by a decidedly amateur sound recordist. You have been warned! Also, the podcast now has chapters so you can skip to the bits you want to hear, rather than listen to us waffle. Oh wait, we waffle all the way through every show. Scratch that.
Episode 73: It could parch an Elephant
February 12, 2018 08:00 - 1 hour - 36.9 MBBaaaaad Design: Not bad design in terms of taste, but design for evil. Have you ever designed the packaging for a death ray gun? Or designed the branding for the new build lair of an evil genius. Or maybe you've designed a mailing list signup checkbox that defaults to checked on a form. Our ministers of gloom discuss what makes bad design. News takes the form of a wingéd serpent and spews forth its foul breath of portent – in which you'll find an all-female line up for 2000AD, why a low value...
Episode 72: Emotional Support Peacock
February 06, 2018 14:00 - 57 minutes - 27 MBWe say goodbye to Mark E. Smith with a new jingle that doesn’t break copyright law. Jon’s got a right cob on and Rob’s wrestling Hippogriffs while watching Godfather I & II. In a news special our hosts talk: Secret army bases, SLR camera revival, Tolkein-esque maps, jars of Nutella, and sage advice for design graduates. Jon’s pie this week is disqualified for being a thinly-veiled quiche and Rob picks a repeat winner. LOTR: Chapter 2 – Shadow of the Past.
Episode 71: Plasticine eagle
January 24, 2018 16:00 - 1 hour - 29.8 MB!! NEU FORMAT !! In the Palantír this week: Ben the Illustrator’s illustrator survey, the last pencil factory, Nintendo’s Switch to cardboard, and backward-facing books. The Guardian has had a redesign. North V South takes a look at what’s changed. Pies this week are from Pieminister and Marks and Spencer. Then it’s onto the first chapter of The Lord of the Rings: An unexpected party.
Episode 70: Concerning Hobbits
January 15, 2018 15:00 - 1 hour - 29.5 MBA podcast about, but not about, The Lord of the Rings. Three rings for the Clients who call on Skype, Seven for the Type-Lords who love to moan, Nine for Bearded Hipsters doomed to try (hard), One for the Creative Director on their Aeron throne In the Studio with their headphones on. One podcast to rule them all, One podcast to find them, One podcast to bring them all and in the darkness bore them In the Studio with their headphones on.
Episode 69: Episode 69 - Dudes!
January 11, 2018 12:04 - 49 minutes - 22.8 MBHappy New Year podcast fans. Here's a new episode in which our hosts reflect on another step forwards towards certain death. News this week include faulty chips, and design news that doesn’t really tell you anything other than there’s not a lot of news about design. Was 2017 a bad year? Will 2018 be a good year? You decide! The chaps talk goals and resolutions. Join them as they tick of the failures. Also the hosts announce their most ambitious feature yet; Read a book one chapter at a time a...
Episode 68: Episode 68 – I like the old one better
December 21, 2017 16:00 - 57 minutes - 26.5 MBAnd so it's Christmas. In this episode Jon continues to moan about Rob's faulty microphone and then forgets to plug in his microphone. So that's why he sounds like he's talking from a dustbin. More than usual. News includes a really stupid camera, a new book on Games Workshop, a new logo for F1, and some really useless tips from "Design Leaders" on how to get a pay rise. The chaps talk about their favourite books, films and designs of the year. Then they eat pie. Hold onto your hats: Jon scor...
Episode 67: Episode 67 – Graphic design for squirrels
December 21, 2017 14:57 - 1 hour - 27.8 MBRecorded over a month ago, here's an episode of the podcast that is and isn't about design for your aural extremities. We answer your questions while drinking strong beer. It's what we do best. Oh, and review pies, of course.
Episode 66: Episode 66 – Computers are great, but humans are idiots
November 12, 2017 18:27 - 45 minutes - 21 MBThis week North V South goes on a field trip to the Design Museum. Find out just what our roving reporters made of the museum’s new home in West London. News sees us step closer to the world of Blade Runner with an image enhancer algorithm, and a step further away with an self driving bus crash. And as a general reminder that humans have been idiots since they left the trees, we look at Medieval Deathbot and Snapchat’s $30 million dollar silly glasses writedown. Pies are stewed beef for Jon, ...
Episode 65: Episode 65 – That's a load of old Saatchi nonsense
November 02, 2017 14:46 - 1 hour - 28.9 MBThis week the podcast is live from Instagram Live. That is, once Jon turns on his phone. Once that load of old nonsense is out of the way our intrepid reporters bring you a fresh heap of more design-related nonsense: Facets, printers, telegram love, Hero Forge and space history are all up for discussion. Then settle down and pull the tartan rug over your knees as Grandpa Rob explains social media to Granddad Jon. Grandpa Rob forgot his teeth so no pie for him. Grandad Jon gums his way through...
Episode 64: Episode 64 – I must learn how to make Origami penguins
October 20, 2017 15:49 - 1 hour - 28.9 MBThis episode talks about Blade Runner 2049. If you haven’t seen it yet then this is the mandatory PLOT SPOILER ALERT! Stupid cameras, memorable high street logos, a swimming pool filled with gold. All the news, none of it very useful. So all the better for it. The chaps went on a rare NVS Field Trip to see the new Blade Runner sequel. They talk about the film’s legacy and sources of inspiration, the central themes of the film, and how hot Ryan Gosling is. Pies this week feature a chicken and ...
Episode 63: Episode 63 – Have you been drinking coffee?
October 10, 2017 15:19 - 55 minutes - 25.7 MBWith both hosts engaged in Inktober it’s only apt that they do some self promotion / neurotic hand-wringing on this week’s episode. In news, Dropbox gets all nu-rave, Sonos journeys into the Amazon, Timothy Toothbrush says hi, and UKIP’s rebrand gets them into hot water. Hopefully. Rob teaches Jon about using Instagram as a promotional tool rather than a social media anxiety generator. A cold pie this week for Jon gets a uncharacteristically high score. Rob’s is chicken and ham heaven. Quite ...
Episode 62: Episode 62 – I put the Pro into Prolapse
October 04, 2017 14:35 - 58 minutes - 26.7 MBOctober brings the daily onslaught that is Inktober. Our hosts discuss their chosen subjects. News includes illustrators’ dirty secrets, Bloomsbury’s new classic book cover designs, the sinister rise of both sponsored content and, of course, abused sex robots. This week sees a return of the book review, with a thumb through Mike Monteiro’s “You’re my favorite client”: A book for clients about the design process. The chaps also stumble through what they did in the day in a futile attempt to ma...
Episode 61: Episode 61 - At least our gramophones will still work
September 28, 2017 20:22 - 1 hour - 28.1 MBA little owl, a favourite tree, interesting words and a can of root beer. It can only be North v South; the podcast that is, and isn’t, about design. This week locks digital and analogue in a fight to the death. Our hosts chat about why we love some superseded technologies and why patina is so important to humans. talk turns to what constitutes being alive, and ends on the irrefutable fact that everything changes. Humans just don’t like it. After that Rob and Jon decant their brains back into...
Episode 60: Episode 60 – Columbo 1492
September 08, 2017 14:59 - 1 hour - 30.4 MBListen to stout men drink stout and spout. Yes, it’s North V South. This week our hosts talk kitbashing, expanding clothing, Winnie the Pooh, print errata and Sonic the Hedgehog. Rob and Jon return to Dunkirk to talk about frames and containers. We look at the origins of the 4:3 format, 35mm film and ask why widescreen is a thing. Many questions remain unanswered but a damn good time is had trying to answer them. Charlie Bigham returns to generously share his Chicken and Mushroom pie with Jon...
Episode 59: Episode 59 - I haven't heard any fizz coming from your end
September 01, 2017 16:14 - 1 hour - 28.1 MBWe're back. Again. Like a bad smell that everyone knows is a decomposing rat under the floorboards but is too polite to say so. This week our intrepid explorers of design discover the meaning of the phrases Kensington Gore and Etaoin Shrdlu, as well as looking at a £650 box of Lego, Erik Spiekermann's storm in a tweet cup, BBC Sport's new typeface and Pantone's oh-so generous donation to the Purple One's Estate*. Our first great pie disaster means that Jon is literally scraping the floor for ...
Episode 58: Episode 58 – Did he do Miami Vice?
August 02, 2017 15:52 - 1 hour - 31.8 MBFreshly returned from the beaches of Northern France, a bottle of beer in one hand and a jam sandwich in the other, Mr Elliman chats with Mr Turpin about what they’ve been up to for the last few weeks, as well as news of sentient toothbrushes, robot journalists and colour systems. Rob and Jon have been to the cinema to see Christopher Nolan’s latest film, Dunkirk. They’ve got quite a lot to say about their experiences. Some of it is lucid. Listen on to find out what Dunkirk, Jan Hammer and gi...
Episode 57: Episode 57 – Mine would be Tarzan Willey
July 24, 2017 17:23 - 1 hour - 29.7 MB*** STARTING ELLIBOT 1.01 *** *** RUNNING SCRIPT *** +++ START MESSAGE +++ It’s been holiday season for the southern half of the podcast that is, and isn’t, about design. Despite this, server crashes and recording gear not working, here’s the latest episode for your aural relish. This week, bereft of anything interesting to talk about, the gents talk about some websites of note. Well, Rob does anyway. This week’s pies are layered chicken and ham layered slice from Sainsbury’s and a chicken, ...
Episode 56: Episode 56 – This is exactly what we are not
June 30, 2017 11:28 - 1 hour - 31.8 MBThis week’s news includes a crowd-funded record player and night light that are, quite frankly, codswallop. Southbank’s new rebrand gets a quick look at, as well as a facelift for the British Gas smart thermostat, Hive. The gents politely raise their hats (revealing marmalade sandwiches) to Michael Bond and say farewell. Milton Glaser’s Ten Things I Have Learned is a collection of observations, philosophies and soundbites that the great designer has been hawking about for at least 18 years. W...
Episode 55: Episode 55 – Sonic the Hedgehog ruined my life
June 26, 2017 11:54 - 1 hour - 30.2 MBThis week, in the podcast that is and isn’t about design, your hosts swim through a tree, explore the grey area surrounding the white of the Polish flag and investigate the disappearance of a mummified toe from a bar in Canada. Rob and Jon then talk about the influence and power of books. They ask each other about the reasons why they read, and discuss a few books that really made a difference in their lives. Both pies this week are very probably not pies. Beers are from the Adnams and Redemp...
Episode 54: Episode 54 – Is this why you like Japanese bathrooms?
June 14, 2017 20:32 - 1 hour - 29.2 MBIn the design podcast that can’t quite get its act together, our hosts look upon the new releases from Apple, gaze upon a new blue pigment, ponder upon the usefulness of a naming and shaming site for non payers, and marvel upon the comic version of the New York Times Magazine. This week Jon and Rob talk about their favourite film posters; from Star Wars to Kill Bill, You Only Live Twice to the Exorcist. Pies today are brought to you from Marks and Spencer, chickens and leeks.
Episode 53: Episode 53 – Dirty, filthy, rotten martini
May 26, 2017 13:29 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBThis week's show reverberates to some light jazz and the clatter of ice in a cocktail shaker. Our hosts raise a v-shaped glass to the late, great Sir Roger Moore. The chaps return to talking about education and the best way forward for people looking to further their design education. The martinis don't help them make their minds up. Or much sense. This episode is bookended with recipes from dead celebrities. Jon wings it with one of Linda McCartney's Vegetarian Country pies. Like her singing...
Episode 52: Episode 52 – Hang on, you hired me!
May 12, 2017 16:00 - 1 hour - 28.3 MBIf this week’s North V South sounds a bit tinny at the beginning, don't worry, that’s just Rob’s medicine being opened. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world*, Jon hunts a Gruffalo and rescues a rabbit†. We look forward to newly launched magazines: Pressing Matters and Typenotes. Rob wonders if Ryan Gosling’s new Blade Runner will deliver the Golden Goose’s egg or perhaps a pickled egg? Judge Dredd is coming to TV. Will they get Mega City One right? NVS met up earlier this week and saw Pa...
Episode 51: Episode 51 – The Natural Portrait Museum
May 09, 2017 09:40 - 1 hour - 33.5 MBAnother episode that’s as painful as a tooth extraction. Which is exactly what Mr Turpin has been though this week. Jon drinks a beer so strong that it explains his subsequent descent into gibberish. News this week includes a farewell to the creator of the Bash Street Kids, a map identification schematic and a grouchy gripe about digital content ownership. Ordanance Survey we’re looking at you. From behind the tumulus. Our hosts then talk about process versus creativity. Can one exists withou...
Episode 50: Episode 50 – Cornish pesto
April 26, 2017 19:58 - 1 hour - 45.1 MBSit tight for the next hour and a half (you ‘eard) of regionally-opposed design-related discourse: It’s the 50th episode of the podcast that is and isn’t about design. This week’s special edition looks at the A-Z of typography. Our two presenters are hardly the font of all type knowledge but they’ve been bold and taken a pica into the wonderful world of type. It's 11am. Rob eats a truffled pie washed down with a beer. Jon has a freshly baked custard tart and a cup of coffee. He’s not an anima...
