‘“I voted Remain,” said Pooh,’ with Rachel Andrew

June 28, 2016 20:08 - 1 hour - 56.9 MB

I’m warning you now, it’s a very different kind of episode of Unfinished Business this week as Rachel Andrew and I talk about our feelings on the referendum result for the UK to leave the EU. We talk about the issues that will affect us, you and our businesses in the coming months and years and what we’re already doing to help mitigate them. Look, if you’re outside the UK, you might find our points of view interesting and different from what you’ve heard before. If you’re as angry and sadde...

‘The Meta Is In Title Case’ with Espen Brunborg and Joe Leech

May 30, 2016 10:00 - 1 hour - 60.6 MB

In this, the first part of the Unfinished Business Bank Holiday double, I’m joined by Espen Brunborg, designer and co-founder of Primate, plus Strategic Commander of User Experience and author of ‘Psychology for Designers’ Joe Leech. It’s more of a work related episode and we talk about; developing content for clients, why you should do your own research and not believe that everything you read on the internet, and whether you should get involved in competitive pitching and tendering? Some ...

In the second part of this Unfinished Business Bank Holiday double, I’m joined by owner of UX studio Simple As Milk and lead UX engineer at UnrollMe, James Seymore-Lock to ask and answer the important question. “Am I the country’s biggest Homes Under The Hammer super-fan?” (Spoiler: He has no clue, not one.) Then things get more serious as I find out about how James has run his business while living in a different country every month for the past couple of years. We talk about why there’s a...

‘Buttered someone to death’ with Mr Bingo

October 06, 2015 10:00 - 59 minutes - 41.5 MB

The Unfinished Business schedule’s been a little, shall we say, up in the air, for the past few episodes. while I’ve been busy writing something. I do aim to get back to our routine and I’m sorry for the disruption. A few weeks ago I recorded a hilarious episode with artist, illustrator and rapper Mr. Bingo. We talk about artist—and former Spitting Image puppet maker—Wilfrid Wood, Banksy’s Dismaland and why IKEA in Croydon is like a real-life bemusement park. We discuss Mr. Bingo’s Hate M...

‘A million Euros to Ireland’ with Rachel Andrew and Richard Rutter

September 09, 2015 14:09 - 1 hour - 66.6 MB

On Unfinished Business this week there’s no talk about mugs but Rachel Andrew is back. We’re joined by first timer Richard Rutter to discuss his upcoming book on Web Typography, why he chose to self-publish and fund the project on Kickstarter and the role of a publisher in today’s market. Of course Rachel loves to talk about VAT (irony) so we do that and she explains why she doesn’t actually owe a million Euros to Ireland. Some links from this episode Rachel Andrew on Twitter Richard Rutt...

August 24, 2015 09:49 - 1 hour - 55.2 MB

This week on episode 115 of Unfinished Business, I’m joined by returning guests Brad Frost and Stephen Hay.

Some links from this episode Brad Frost Brad on Twitter Stephen Hay Stephen on Twitter design​day conference Missing the bloody point It’s a mugs game. Bodum vacuum travel mug review Bodum tr...

‘Fair cop guv’’ with Dan Edwards and Daniel Mall

August 10, 2015 11:28 - 1 hour - 52.1 MB

A week later than planned (sorry,) on this week’s Unfinished Business, I’m joined by returning special guest, designer Dan Edwards. And because you wait all day and then two Dans come along at once, joining us is creative director, founder and director of the SuperFriendly agency in Philadelphia, Daniel (the Dan) Mall. We talk about plans for the next Geek Mental Help week in October first. Then, because I’m currently deep into a redesign of Stuff & Nonsense, why working on your own site al...

‘Dicking around with an algorithm’ with Cennydd Bowles and Noah Stokes

July 20, 2015 09:00 - 1 hour - 49.5 MB

I’ve been looking forward to speaking with Cennydd Bowles for months and for Unfinished Business 113, Cennydd joins me and my other special guest, product designer Noah Stokes. We kick off by talking about Richard Rutter’s web typography book, but soon the conversation switches to whether, and why, current web designs are lacking ‘soul.’ This is something Noah and I have been speaking and writing over recent months and something that I partly blame on our fixation with user-experience and pr...

‘Meaty Parts’ with House Of Fools’ Ellie White

July 01, 2015 09:00 - 1 hour - 62.9 MB

Ellie and I talk about her Fringe and what it’s like to get a big break on a show like ‘House Of Fools.’ We discuss improv, stand-up performances and comedy clubs and whether she should watch ‘Carry On’ films. Ellie’s charming and funny and I really enjoyed talking with her. Even if you’ve not seen ‘House Of Fools,’ you’ll really like this episode. Some links from this episode Ellie White on Twitter Ellie on IMDB Children of Herne House of Fools House of Fools on BBC Onion Talking: Da...

‘I got no beef with the Turks’ with Brendan Dawes and Aaron Draplin

June 21, 2015 17:33 - 1 hour - 43.3 MB

Apologies in advance if you’re German or a Turk, as this week on episode 111 of Unfinished Business, I’m joined by artist Brendan Dawes and designer Aaron Draplin. We start by talking about spice jars and car boot (garage) sales, but unsurprisingly our conversation soon veers wildly off topic as we discuss how Aaron’s struggling to keep up with demands on his time, how designers can make money selling merchandise and more, much, much more. If you know either Aaron or Brendan, you’ll also k...

‘That pig was a good influence’ with Jeremy Keith and Jeffrey Zeldman

June 08, 2015 12:48 - 1 hour - 62.3 MB

Last week was Jeffrey Zeldman’s website’s 20th birthday, so this week he joins me and Jeremy Keith on Unfinished Business 110 to talk about the anniversary. We start by discussing Jeremy’s 100 words for 100 days writing project and how it’s inspired me to change the way that I think about writing on our blog and posting to our portfolio. We talk about the importance of writing for yourself as well as for others and why writing on your own website is important. With it being the twentieth ann...

‘Management advice from Don Draper’ with Jen Simmonds and Mad Men’s Allan Havey

May 27, 2015 23:42 - 1 hour - 43.3 MB

This week is a special Mad Men episode of Unfinished Business and I’m joined live from New York by Jen Simmons–the incredible host of The Web Ahead podcast–and our very special guest, the actor and comedian who plays Lou Avery on TV’s Mad Men, Allan Havey. We talk, of course, about Mad Men, its final season and the recent show finale. So if you haven’t seen Don Draper fall out of a McCann Erickson window yet, there are spoilers galore. We discuss Lou, his character and how the show’s audie...

‘I want Action, Man’ with Aarron Walter and Jared Spool

May 17, 2015 22:00 - 1 hour - 49.5 MB

I imagine if I told people in advance that I was talking to director of UX at MailChimp Aarron Walter and Founder of User Interface Engineering Jared Spool on Unfinished Business this week, they’d imagine we’d talk about user experience design and possibly education. Instead, they and I talk about action figures and Action Man and whether fighting Nazis is cooler than fighting aliens. It’s not all Smurfs and Stretch Armstrong though, because we also discuss the art of public speaking, how ...

‘Tom Hanks, what a let down’ with Andy Budd and Cameron Moll

May 11, 2015 09:00 - 1 hour - 56.7 MB

Fresh from our adventures at Smashing Conference in Santa Monica, on this week’s Unfinished Business I’m joined by user-experience professional, author (of some CSS book or another) and director at ClearLeft, Andy Budd.

On this week’s Unfinished Business, I’m joined by designers’ designer Dan Edwards and, one of my favourite people, designer Veerle Pieters. We start by talking about magazines, including 8faces and the new edition of Lagom. Then we discuss how the perceptions that people can have about us, our companies or even how busy we are can be really different from the reality, plus an event that we’re planning for designers and developers to get together to share business experiences. Finally we tal...

‘Seventeen coats of bullshit’ with Dan Mall and Jeffrey Zeldman

April 07, 2015 09:00 - 1 hour - 44.7 MB

I‘ve been looking forward to publishing this episode of Unfinished Business for over a month and I looked forward to recording it for even longer, because I got to talk about art direction and creativity on the web with two of the creative people that I respect most, Dan Mall and Jeffrey Zeldman. Video of my ‘Counting stars: Creativity over predictability’ talk from Beyond Tellerrand in Berlin Your CSS bores me Cinderella Past Midnight Stephen Hay’s Art Direction and the Web Dan Mall’s ...

‘The taco incident’ with Trent Walton and Stephen Hay

March 23, 2015 10:00 - 1 hour - 63.8 MB

The best podcasts listen to interesting people having interesting conversations about work, and life and for episode 104 of Unfinished Business I’m joined by two fascinating folk. Trent Walton and Stephen Hay. In a lively and wide-ranging conversation, we talk about ‘designing in a browser’ and whether or not today it’s a given (to some degree or another.) We discuss not showing clients static design visuals and why ‘comps’ in a browser and prototypes should be the first thing that we show ...

‘House of Fools’ with Paul Boag and Jon Hicks

March 09, 2015 10:00 - 1 hour - 55.9 MB

Back for episode 103 of Unfinished Business is my favourite comedy duo, ‘Pipe and Pyjamas,’ Paul Boag and Jon Hicks. We had a list of things that we weren’t allowed to talk about, a list that was surprisingly topped by Dr. Who, food and bicycles. Instead we discuss about Paul’s green screen, his motorhome and why he left Headscape, the company he founded thirteen years ago. We end up talking about how we’re redefining our places in the web industry as the three of us get older. In the afte...

‘The most rubbish superhero ever’ with Rachel Andrew and Zoe Mickley Gillenwater

March 02, 2015 10:00 - 54 minutes - 37.5 MB

A little later than advertised (and by “a little” I actually mean a week) I’m joined on Unfinished Business. Episode 102 by Rachel Andrew and Zoe Mickley Gillenwater. Despite being two experts on bleeding edge CSS layout modules, they don’t talk about CSS (much.) Instead we talk about how to keep doing when keeping going is hard and what gives us that motivation. We also discuss making big decisions including when we might want to take, or leave, a job.

‘Two old farts looking at their calendars’ with Harry Roberts and Jonathan Snook

February 07, 2015 19:31 - 1 hour - 32.6 MB

We’re back. Back in business. Unfinished Business. Episode 101. For this, the first episode of 2015, I’m joined by two of the best well-known writers about how to implement CSS on a large scale Harry Roberts and Jonathan Snook. We talk about if the ways we talk about CSS today have made learning it less accessible for beginners. I worry that people are being encouraged to jump straight into Sass without learning the basics of CSS first and ask why people don’t write long books about it anym...

‘Jingle Bell Rock’ with Anna Debenham

December 21, 2014 17:00 - 1 hour - 35.6 MB

This week is the one-hundredth episode of Unfinished Business and who better to join me than the person who helped me start it all, almost two years ago, Anna Debenham. We celebrate by talking about what went right and wrong in 2014 and our resolutions for 2015. Then we talk about meetings and how we can improve them. This being the final episode of the year, I’d like to say an enormous thank-you to everyone I’ve spoken to on Unfinished Business, this year: Ashley Baxter, Benjamin Hollway, ...

‘A man’s gotta chew what a man’s gotta chew’ with Trent Walton

December 16, 2014 17:00 - 1 hour - 44.8 MB

On the penultimate episode of Unfinished Business of 2014, I’m joined by my design hero Trent Walton to talk about if an integrated responsive design and development workflow makes working out what and how to charge more difficult. We discuss Paravel, the three person studio that he helps run, how their business works, how they charge and if they negotiate on price. Of course, this being Unfinished Business, I couldn’t help talking about burgers and this week’s stupid cheeseburger stuffed cr...

‘Geoff, can I have my records back?’ with John Davey

December 08, 2014 17:00 - 1 hour - 31.4 MB

Conference impresario John Davey joins me again on Unfinished Business this week. We talk about anticipation and scarceness, how some cinemas create an experience around watching a film, how looking at album artwork in a record shop enhanced the experience of buying music and whether the experiences we’ve lost were valuable enough to revive in new and different ways.

‘Made in Scotland from girders’ with Ashley Baxter and Laura Kalbag

November 29, 2014 17:00 - 1 hour - 39.6 MB

It’s a special week this week on Unfinished Business as I’m joined by not one, but two regular co-hosts, Ashley Baxter and Laura Kalbag. In a bumper episode, we talk about cakes, brightly coloured fizzy drinks and Yorkshire pudding burgers. We discuss podcasting, sounding good as a podcast guest, then whether we allow Christmas decorations in our offices. Finally we talk about what we’ve achieved this year and what our goals are for 2015. It’s a fast and fun episode. I think you’ll really en...

‘Ain’t no party like an S Club party’ with Brendan Dawes

November 23, 2014 17:00 - 1 hour - 36 MB

Artist and designer Brendan Dawes is back on Unfinished Business this week. We get started by talking about past popular pop princes and princesses S Club 7, The Handsome Family and Bren’s one day trip to Argentina. For the remainder of the show, we talk about when it’s acceptable to give our time for free and when we should say no. Why every project should include a ‘goodwill’ budget and what the heck are those party paper and whistle things that come out of Christmas crackers called? We’r...

November 11, 2014 17:00 - 1 hour - 41.1 MB

This week on Unfinished Business, Paul Boag, Jon Hicks and I dispense with any pretence that this is a show about business and spend 90 minutes talking about something much more interesting. Peter Capaldi’s first series as Doctor Who. We talk about our thoughts on Peter Capaldi’s Doctor and the best (and worst) episodes of the season. Then we finish up by discussing the series finale, Clara and Danny Pink and of course Missy. If you haven’t seen the final episode of this season, there are sp...

November 03, 2014 17:00 - 1 hour - 30.1 MB

The week’s Unfinished Business was recorded live at The Web Is… conference in Cardiff, as part of Geek Mental Help week. I was joined on-stage by Christopher Murphy, Cole Henley, Relly Annett-Baker and Dr. Clare Symons to talk about a wide range of mental heath and mental illness issues. I put the lower audio quality this week down to everyone wearing lapel, not using condenser microphones, (sorry about that,) but recording live in front of an audience was fun, and I’ll definitely do it aga...

‘You can blow off a kebab’ with Liz Elcoate

October 27, 2014 16:00 - 1 hour - 28.6 MB

This week is Geek Mental Help week and on Unfinished Business I’m joined by Liz Elcoate, one of the people who helped to spark the idea. We ask if our industry attracts people with issues or cause them, does our working environment add to our problems and what we hope the outcomes from this week will be? But not before we talk sport, Liz’s obsession with wrestling and my Uncle Haystacks. This week’s episode is sponsored by Perch Runway, a new version of Perch that’s been designed for bigger...

October 20, 2014 16:00 - 50 minutes - 22.9 MB

Brighton-based developer Benjamin Hollway loves a burger in a brioche bun and joins me on Unfinished Business this week to talk about how young people feel excluded from some industry events and how conferences and meet-ups should cater for people who don’t want to or are too young to drink. Benjamin was shortlisted for ‘emerging talent of the year’ at the Net Awards and oh, did I mention that he’s only sixteen? This week’s episode is sponsored by Perch Runway, a new version of Perch that’s...

Designer and artist Brendan Dawes is back on episode 90 of Unfinished Business this week to talk about his recent commission by Mailchimp, Six Monkeys, which explores interactions with email through physical objects named after six famous chimpanzees.

‘Burger in a donut’ with Laura Kalbag

October 05, 2014 16:00 - 12 minutes - 11.2 MB

This week’s an emotional episode of Unfinished Business. After talking about why a burger in a donut should never, ever have become a thing, Laura Kalbag and I discuss mental health issues in our industry. We talk about my own struggles with depression and depersonalisation disorder, issues that stem from my father’s own mental health issues and suicide.

‘A cage full of hungry dogs‘ with Harry Roberts

September 29, 2014 16:00 - 1 hour - 40.9 MB

This week on Unfinished Business, Harry Roberts and I have some pretty big, Boag-shaped, boots to fill after last week’s episode. Harry takes the opposite view to Paul about sharing personal struggles in a work context and worries about the impression that sharing give to prospective clients. Then we talk about how clients’ commissioning process for creative services is largely broken, the differences between an open conversation starter, an RFP and a brief and how we, as designers and devel...

‘I thought you were Kid Jensen’ with Paul Boag

September 21, 2014 16:00 - 1 hour - 43.2 MB

This week on Unfinished Business, I had planned to talk with Paul Boag about client briefs and managing expectations. But when we sat down to talk, we were both in the mood to talk about something much, more personal. We discussed how we feel about how Twitter has changed, Erin Kissane’s ‘Ditching Twitter,’ Dan Edwards’ ‘Treading through treacle’ and our general sense of melancholy about our industry. Then we talk about how, contrary to what we often hear, our industry is filled with acts of...

‘Night of the long shadows’ with Jory Raphael

September 14, 2014 16:00 - 1 hour - 29 MB

In the second part of our icon designer double bill, this week on Unfinished Business, I’m joined by designer, illustrator the and iconographer behind Symbolicons, Jory Raphael.

We discuss Jory’s illustration work including his artwork for the 5by5 podcast network and of course, those long shadows. Finally we talk about making a bu...

‘An energy drink for Time Lords’ with Jon Hicks

September 08, 2014 16:00 - 1 hour - 39.6 MB

Icon designer Jon Hicks joins me this week on Unfinished Business to discuss our experiences of recent conferences including dConstruct (me) and An Event Apart (him.) We narrowly avoid talking about our predictions for the upcoming Apple event and instead discuss how to keep work and home life separate, whether it‘s right to be connected to work outside work hours and how having an office can help with work/life balance. Of course, all of this is just a thinly disguised ruse for what we rea...

‘Basketball with jetpacks,’ with Cole Henley

September 01, 2014 16:00 - 1 hour - 44.7 MB

This week on Unfinished Business, I’m joined by Cole Henley, technical director at Mud. We discuss his latest Freelance rates survey, how the results have changed over the last three years and what he’s learned from making the survey. I admire Cole’s Mud very much, so we talk about how to grow a business, when to hire new people and the importance of regular advice from someone on the outside. If you like the business side of Unfinished Business, you’ll love this episode. What’s an episode ...

‘Slightly sticky bottoms’ with Laura Kalbag

August 26, 2014 16:00 - 1 hour - 31.4 MB

Laura Kalbag and Ashley Baxter did a wonderful job hosting Unfinished Business for the last three weeks and this week Laura hands it back to me. We talk about how we interpret the ‘business’ theme of Unfinished Business differently and how that changes the focus of the podcast. As we’re both small business owners and we’ve both been on holiday recently, we discuss how we handle keeping on top of business while we’re away from it. How we handle email and client enquiries and even work that g...

Unfinished Business special: Rumpus On The Planet Of The Apes with Brendan Dawes and Jeremy Keith

July 23, 2014 16:00 - 1 hour - 38.2 MB

Before we go any further, I need to let people know that there is absolutely zero business content in the show this week. (Thousands of people are thinking now, “when is there ever?”) That‘s because this is a spoiler filled ‘Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’ cinema special episode with my guests and film buff friends Brendan Dawes and Jeremy Keith. It’s a wild show. We ask whether there should be a new Oscar category for performance capture and if Andy Serkis should win everything? We talk ab...
