In episode #8 of the Zachtronics podcast I interview Jeff Schader of The Skins Factory, the graphic design studio responsible for most of the Windows Media Player skins of the early 2000s. Although you might think this has nothing to do with games, it turns out there's a surprising amount of overlap; topics covered include skeuomorphic interfaces, the rise and fall of media player skins, taste versus talent, and much, much more!
