North v South

With a fair bit of news to catch up on, the chaps inevitably talk about Apple’s new offerings, as well as the Tank’s 100th birthday and an alarm clock that wakes with a whiff.

Rob and Jon end up in a Mayfair pub eating pies and drinking beer, while the rest of London melts in an unseasonal heatwave. Such is our commitment to the noble pie, dear listener.

In our hottest episode yet we find out that the always-odd Bjork is doing a spot of 360 VR at Somerset House. We chat about The Design Museum’s design awards, a sale of Second World War vehicles and we say adieu to Mr Gene Wilder.

350 years ago the Great Fire of London broke out in a baker’s shop in Pudding Lane. We discuss this monumental event (see what I did there) and talk about lost buildings we would love to have visited.

This week Rob’s posh pork pie from Selfridges knocks Jon's humble mince beef pie out of the park with an 8 out of 10.

In the latest episode of Rob’s mum’s favourite podcast*, we catch up in the latest design/non-design news including a new neighbour for planet Earth, flockingly good bird photomontages and old photos of inky-fingered Fleet Street.

Following on from our chat about secret places from last week, we talk about maps. We get completely lost discussing their origins.

This week sees an all time low in pies. We’d have been better off with a nice salad.

Konnichiwa! We’re back! Did you miss us? No, we didn’t think so.

We chat about Airbnb’s new design studio, Brighton’s new eye(sore), Rob talks wistfully about his old tutor while Jon tries out Adobe’s Portfolio.
