North v South episodes
- 14. Like a hot potato that came in through the window
This week Rob p-p-p-picks up a new edition of Pocket Penguins. It's not the only bird he's picked up this week. We talk 3D soundwaves and discuss the new Instagram logo like we just don't care: We really don't care.
Our book of the month is "Insanely Great" by Steven Levy. We explore the origins of the tool that pays our mortgages, hitch a ride back to 1995 and the story of the birth of the Macintosh.The pies this week turn out to be boils on the behind of Beelzebub himself. But we still eat them anyway.56 min - Episode 13: Episode 13 – Reducing the probability of not succeeding
Episode thirteen, the unluckiest podcast yet from North V South, explores good fortune in careers.
This week we look at a sinister machine that turns itself off, Jon goes a bit cuckoo and tries to explain post digital, while Rob coos at mating pigeons and miniature houses.
We discuss whether you make your own luck by just working hard or if the hands of the gods are upon us like that film with the mechanical owl in it.
We then present a synchronised pie review for the first time.

An episode in which we talk about design quite a lot for a podcast that is and isn’t about design. We chat about Dyson going viral, revisit Japan’s Olympics logo and we look at some pictures that could be straight off the set of Blade Runner 2. But they’re not.
Jon gets all hot under the collar about fake marketing campaigns and flimsy pseudo lifestyle businesses. Perhaps he picked up a virus from the hand dryer? Our tenacious duo then tackle and try to solve the free pitch dilemma. Did they do it? Did they heck.
Pies are then partaken of and farewells made.

This week’s episode contains reviews of two mediocre pies and a startling revelation about Michael Bentine.
Our rambling discourse takes a stroll through Victorian space exploration, vastly overpaid executives and the origins of the word Bovril.
We talk about music in office culture and the various stereotypes one might meet when working in a studio. Then Jon drops the Potty bomb. Listen on, reader-listeners. With your eye-ears.

This week our intrepid heroes talk about getting paid.
The chaps talk about The Guardian’s experimental design layouts, Erik Spiekermann’s print shop, British Steel logo redux, a grundie exhibition at the V&A and the new, very silly, Kindle.
They chat about the recent 2000AD documentary on Channel 4, and remember how much they used to love the Galaxy's greatest comic.
They then eat pies. Such is their commitment to pie reviewing that they do this in the morning like proper weirdos.

59 min - Episode 9: Episode 9 – Wizard wings
This week in the podcast that might or might not be very good, we don't sound like we're having a chat in a dustbin. Which might or might not be a good thing.
We talk about the ephemeral nature of the internet of things, one pound coins, HP's new old logo, personal projects and, of course, pies.
