Episode 16: Criticism with Clem Bastow | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:36:48

Taking and giving criticism require a lot of patience and understanding. Or maybe people just need to shut up and mind their own business. Who are they to tell us whether something is good or not? This is where we discuss the difference between good and bad criticism, how to give one and how to receive both. Clementine Bastow has had her fair share of being on both ends of the criticism stick, so she joins us to talk about what that means.

Episode 15: Knowing Your Tools—Ethan Marcotte | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:30:37

Ethan Marcotte is the man who brought the concept of responsive design to the web from the world of architecture. We would think that, in order to achieve such a feat, Ethan would have to know his tools inside and out in order to begin to use them to manipulate the world around him. But is that the case? How much do we need to know about our tools in order to produce something remarkable? [Audio] This episode was recorded at and through the generosity of Mule Radio. Big thanks go out to Jim Ray who helped organise Ethan as a guest.

Episode 14: How Much Evil?—Chris "Clarko" Clark | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0039:19

It's a basic question: How much evil would you work for? When we spend our days in client services, we're inevitably going to come across something that a client does that we find morally questionable. How does a designer make the choice to back away from a client, or is there a way to conduct your business so you're never put in that situation? We're joined by Christopher "Clarko" Clark, currently product designer at Fitbit, to look at one of the toughest decisions a designer has to make before pencil even hits the paper.

Episode 13: Jeffrey Zeldman—Doing what needs to be done | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:39:48

Jeffery Zeldman is the godfather of web design. His role in promoting web standards to the community has been instrumental in advancing the way we build and view websites today. But his job is to be a designer. So how do you recognise something that needs to be done and then decide that you are the person to do it? Jeffrey takes us through his decision making process that has led to him developing A List Apart, An Event Apart and A Book Apart, as well as hosting The Big Web Show, managing his design agency and writing books about web design. Then we talk about the importance of giving something back to the community to ensure longevity.
