The Interrogang Podcast

How can we escape being paralyzed by the burden of choice‽ Josh and Kyle weigh all their options and eventually decide to discuss how having more choices doesn’t always make us better. Kyle deals with duality in this week’s releases and Josh continues to wish we didn’t have to subject ourselves to Twitter. Then the guys wonder why the advent of digital type hasn’t led to a whole new type landscape and they realize that there is value to gathering data on people doing nothing.

Two! (Just seeing who is still paying attention…)

Can anyone truly be a "Jack-of-all-trades"‽ Josh and Kyle come to terms with the fact that there will always be things they are bad at, but that's ok, there is plenty of other stuff they're good at, like juggling. Kyle strategically seeks out new skills and Josh compares a certain aspect of type design to getting a colonoscopy. And despite the example set by our hosts, remember that it's wrong to lie on a resume...

Are you ready for some typography hot takes‽ There are a bunch of new releases this week, but Kyle takes time to bring up some of type’s hottest takes and Josh unveils which side he comes down on (most of the time). Tempers flare over how revolutionary Helvetica could possibly be, Kyle wants to stop pitting sans vs. serif, and Josh would have you pay by the pixel. We have hot takes on hot takes and you’re just along for the ride…

Aren't we all a snob about something‽ Josh and Kyle look down their respective noses for a little while and reveal what they are snobs about. Josh thinks you should read more books and Kyle rejects your red solo cup, but hopefully they aren't being too obnoxious. Should we be bigger snobs about typography? Can we help it? Let's see what happens when you add those extraneous serifs...

Also, an important PSA on the use of the word "content". Don't be content with "content"!

Can we turn to Google to adequately answer our font questions‽ Kyle drops some names, picks them up, then invites them to a dinner party, and Josh does the minimum amount of work to quiz Kyle on how Google guides our font needs. Most importantly, the best advice this podcast has to offer is dispensed for the next time you need to quit your job...

Editor's Note: Kyle cheated a bit during the Dinner Party game, he counted the Stephenson Blake foundry as one person. We're just gonna have to get more chairs...

Isn’t it all just fun and games until somebody loses an “i”‽ Josh and Kyle find their playful side and wonder if there’s enough fun in their creative processes. Then they discuss the limitations you put on yourself that might keep you from finding this sense of play within your work, especially when you seek perfection. Kyle feels like he is “shoulding” himself too much, which isn’t as upsetting as it sounds. All this while bearing the weight of history….

This episode is dedicated to the men and women who fought in the First Great Typography War.

Are emojis typography‽ Josh and Kyle throw down over whether or not emojis are under the typography umbrella and discuss when it is inappropriate to use emojis in everyday life. Along the way, you may even get some beatboxing advice...

How many stars does a sensible serif deserve anyway‽ Josh and Kyle rate and review the idea of a rate and review process for new type releases. Would this be a benefit to designers or just supply a new venue for unnecessary, opinionated vitriol? Plus, Josh rejects “postmodern” as a descriptor and attempts to coin its replacement, ever forward into the supernow!

Have you seen the Wizard about some courage‽ Josh and Kyle close their eyes, take a leap, and jump into discussing what kind of bravery it takes to make it in a creative field. Can you play it safe and still succeed, or do you need to engage in some risky behavior to get on people's radar? How is creative courage different in type? We narrowly escape discussing Yentl and explain how risk-taking can break your back. As a bonus, this episode includes "Hey Jude" like you've never heard it before.

How can I quit when I’ve put so much time into this‽ Josh and Kyle sink into the Sunk Cost Fallacy and want you all to know it’s ok to be a quitter. We also look for inspiration via dog defecation. And sorry Iceland, you’re no longer in the universe…
