[01.] Design Matters With Debbie Millman

Design-Matters-Debbie-Millman

Design Matters with Debbie Millman is a thought-provoking internet podcast, which profiles industry-leading graphic designers, change agents, artists, writers and educators.

In 2005, Debbie Millman started a little radio show called Design Matters. She often says that Design Matters began with an idea and a telephone line. After an offer from the Voice America Business Network to create an online radio show in exchange for a fee — yes, Debbie Millman had to pay them — she decided that interviewing designers who she revered would be an inventive way to ask her heroes everything she wanted to know about them. Debbie Millman started broadcasting Design Matters live from a telephone modem in her office at Sterling Brands in the Empire State Building. After the first dozen episodes, she began to distribute the episodes free on iTunes, making it the first ever design podcast to be distributed in this manner. Debbie Millman realized the opportunity to share the brilliance of her guests with an audience she never expected was the gift of a lifetime, but as the show grew in popularity, she recognized that she needed to upgrade both the sound quality and the distribution. After 100 episodes on Voice America, Debbie Millman was invited to publish Design Matters on Design Observer by co-founder Bill Drenttel. Design Matters is now the anchor show on Design Observer’s media channel, and the show is produced at the specially built podcast studio located at her Masters in Branding program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Debbie Millman has done nearly 200 episodes to date. In 2011, the show was awarded the People’s Choice Cooper Hewitt National Design Award. In 2012, at a celebratory luncheon at the White House, she was congratulated by the one and only First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama.

Roman Mars is also a founding member of the podcast collective, Radiotopia. While Roman Mars has since upgraded from his bedroom digs to a studio behind his house and an office shared with 99pi’s wonderful staff (in beautiful downtown Oakland, California), most of the equipment and production process remains the same. 99% Invisible is a completely independent production. Funding comes directly from their phenomenally dedicated listeners, including their record-breaking Kickstarter campaign, and from podcast underwriters.
