Who knew that design, in all its forms, is so central to everything we touch and everything that touches us? I’ve been listening for 10 years and am never bored with the show or tired of the host.

I’m not an a—hole so I’m giving five stars for a decade of enjoyment. I’m glad Roman got a well-deserved payday for his work and love, but wow you can tell a difference once the pod got bought out. Take care of your people financially and take those advertising dollars while you can, before the advertisers figure it out.

I like this show when I listen to it most of the time when it shows up in my feed. I think a lot of the episodes are interesting and well researched. What I don’t care for is the hosts extreme left political agenda that seems to permeate a lot of the episodes. I think this show would be a lot better if it was more objective and balanced, but it is clearly not. So if your politics are on the left side of things, and maybe even on the extreme left side of things, you will love this pod. If you’re more in the middle, or just someone who’s trying to keep an open mind this might not be the show for you.

Roman, I’ve been with you so I can remember at the end of the episode, “my boy Carver says:” And I think you were like in the shed or something and then it was beautiful downtown Oakland. Right? I don’t think I got your son’s name wrong but if I did, I apologize thank you so much for so many years of entertainment. I’ve been with you every step of the way, and you have helped me get through countless dinners by arriving, armed with some interesting story or beautiful enigma fresh off the Oakland airwaves. Sometimes I wonder how things have changed with major success. I can say it definitely doesn’t seem like it has corrupted you anyway we love you. Thank you so much and thank you Joe and everybody else who works for 99% invisible.
