Are we a design podcast?
Joi Jetson
Welcome to our pilot episode where we attempt to figure out what kind of podcast we are while Jey debates the aesthetic merits of their mullet and Joi shares intel on grown men with tooth gems. Because if all art imitates life, then apparently life imitates a chaotic design sprint.
What starts as banter about dental accessories somehow evolves into deeper conversations about our industry. This is the small talk that happens when artists collaborate - the tangents that somehow lead to breakthrough insights, or at least good stories.
Spoiler alert: We don't answer the title question, but we do establish that we're two senior designers who've been pollinating the internet since I built my first site on AOL Hometown. Consider this your warning.
Coming up in future episodes:
- Figma Buzz and why we're cautiously optimistic about new tools
- The agentic AI wars and what they mean for creative workflows
- Silicon Valley trade wars and the chip shortage reality
- Breaking down the latest from OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, Gemini and Llama
- Real talk about surviving multiple tech booms (and what's different this time)
Hosts: Joi (design engineer with AOL Hometown nostalgia) and Jey (illustrator with green hair and strong opinions about oral accessories)
