Great to hear your voice after all these years. Made me smile. Think about you every day XX

"Design research is not something comfortable, at all." —Dalma Kadocsa

There's this little secret about the design process that nobody likes to talk about. It's an anxiety-provoking, scary moment. It can feel pointless, but it actually has a purpose. What is it? Why do we work this way? Our team hits this moment of truth, and tries to maneuver out of it through a meeting with a certain expert in the sector.

In this episode we used a custom rap by Saeid Edward. Our theme song is by Rob Rusli, plus additional music in this episode from Rob Rusli Adam Selzer, Ben Seretan, Quartet San Francisco, and Thad Wenatchee.

This episode also used sound effects under the Creative Commons attribution license from freesound.org users Keweldog, Anthousai, Dig2008, BrokenPhono, BennyChico11 and HerbertBoland.

#3 The Fog

This episode was recorded the night before what was to be the dreaded day of the election, though of course we all woke up to a better picture than we thought, even though the android is still in power. Expect plenty of vitriolic rants about ideologies, members of the political elite and lazy voting.
 
The team also touch on #grime4corbyn conclusively demonstrating their lack of understanding of the musical genre and destroying any lingering illusions of their ‘coolness’.
 
If that isn’t enough Ben finally gets to talk about South America and it’s actually relevant! Who would have thought it.

Another chapter chalked up to disappointment

Tech for Good Live Ep 14 - Election Special - Another chapter chalked up to disappointment

Laying waste to the team with his acerbic wit this month is Fritz von Runte, self-confessed friend and lover to music, UX specialist and designer. Fritz has made a name for himself as a vocal, and amusing member of the tech community in Manchester and is an advocate of ‘tech for good’.

On the podcast, an analysis of stating the obvious over 205 pages and why Facebook sucks at creating shareable content for important causes.

The week after the launch of the Fundraising Preference Service the team wonder will it work and why isn’t it a Marketing Preference Service?

And Greg finally gets to rant about Amazon and their latest edition to the Echo range, Echo Look.
