Podcasting

Richard Rutter and I have both co-founded and run design agencies, with over 50 years of combined experience in the creative industries. Our work has taken us on different paths, but we’ve come together to discuss business, clients, creativity, and more, because we both have Unfinished Business.

Yours truly guesting in a fun episode of the Boagworld podcast. “Why do so many websites feel like colored-in wireframes? Why personality in design still matters, and how to bring it back.”

Back after their summer break, the four chaps decide whether each other’s improbable stories are a lie or the truth. Jon talks about his new car, Andy brings up his gout, and neither are at all cross about Paul and Marcus restarting the Boagworld podcast. This episode of One Footer in the Grave is appropriately sponsored by Allopurinol, the gout medication for when your big toe hurts like a b@stard.

In this new video, I look at Labour’s election manifesto and its campaign slogan that shouted “Change.” If Sir Keir Starmer or Angela Rayner had asked me to design their post-manifesto website, I’d have done things differently. So I explain what I’d do.

It’s UK General Election time and the chaps have gathered to discuss it, but without mentioning politics. What would their top policies be if they were running for office? What do they think of novelty candidates like Count Binface? Plus, why are political party websites so terrible? Andy tells his story about being in the audience for BBC Question Time and the strange tale of designing for an intergalactic space warrior.
