Welcome to the first episode in a new series of North V South: the podcast that is, and isn't, about design.

We're talking taking breaks, blue plaques, iMacs, Kellog's, Capcom and Hellboy, among many other bits and bobs of design-related ephemera.

Give us a whirl. You never know, you might like it.

Also, please leave a review for us in iTunes. We'll love you for ever if you do.
