- 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.1 hr 1 min - Episode 8: Episode 8 – It's a pie. But it's not.
Today's episode is a week late due to eggs and weddings. We talk about the ageing Intercity 125 and its role in the British sandwich revolution(role, roll, geddit? Aah never mind).
We then ruminate over cheap design services and why designers get their knickers in such a twist over them. That discussion leads us neatly on to the book of the month, Design is a Job by Mike Monteiro, which basically tell us to be professional, pull our trousers up and stop blaming the client.
We then review one authentic pie and a quiche that is masquerading as a pie. The hunt for a vegetable-based pie continues…

Today's episode is brought to you by pickle-powered pies.
We talk about news that revolves around artificial intelligence, 360° videos and Bagpuss. But possibly not all at the same time.
Our intrepid duo then talk about design convergence, and whether that's a good thing. Answer: It probably isn't.
Both Rob(democratically)and Jon(autocratically) ended up with pickle-infused pies. And we can honestly say that this is not a good thing either.

In this episode we discuss design awards from the unique perspective of never having won any design awards. Although Jon once got a certificate from a Lego building competition in 1978.
The chaps discuss the pros and cons of design awards. Listen to find out whether con is the pejorative.
Rob's pie this week has its own helipad. Jon has two pies. They fail to mention the fact that it's National Pie Week, mainly because there's no such thing as National Pie Week.

In this episode of everyone’s favourite podcast with pies and regional accents, we are furkling around in binary middens.
Rob talks about a daily newspaper launch in the UK. Jon reveals his ignorance of world news.
Jon wonders about what will happen to our digital stuff. He discusses whether anything we create online has any value and whether archaeologists in the future will think people from our time are vacuous consumers of emptiness. Rob eats a pie.

A new episode of the only podcast guaranteed free of electrical interference thanks to factory-grade unicorn dust.
We talk about the brouhaha around a couple of recent rebrands. We sad face Facebook's new response icons.
We chat about our book of the month, The City and the City by China Mieville. Rob navigates the conversation around why he didn't do a drawing for the show, while Jon says the words "erm" and "brouhaha" an alarming number of times. Pies are then eaten and judged as they should be.
