In the latest episode Amy summed up her conversation with Lionel Ohayon as enriching and I realised that’s how I feel about every episode of this podcast!

As a young architect this podcast has inspired me and guided me while I started my journey in the field. Amy asks amazing questions that help understand the meaning behind the design.

Clever is the only podcast I listen to. I am a graphic designer/art director and listening to all these people make feel less wired. I learn a lot and enjoy it tremendously. Thank you Amy Devers for the great show!

Great podcast, but there are way too many commercials.

Trying to like this design centered podcast, but I can’t with the host’s constant unnecessary and obviously unauthentic giggling after every other sentence...as another review said “gushing”

New formats and some really thought provoking conversations in the 2021 season. This 5 year old design podcast has stepped it up recently the documentary episodes have been superb.

To hear about creatives’ journey and take inspiration from it. The tone is friendly and relaxing. It feels like we are in the room with Amy and her guest.

The Clever podcast remains the best design podcast around, and their spinoff "Clever Confidential" is a winner. Their deep dives are edgy and informative, and the addition of Andrew Wagner is pure genius!Read full review »

Andrew Hodgson via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/05/21
Every episode is full of thoughtful conversations about not only the creations of designers but challenging ideas about how we interact with our world and the role of design. The conversations are genuine and flowing. Love it.

The Clever podcast is one of the best podcasts about design that I have found in my quest to know more about art. Amy Devers and Jamie Derringer are connected to the world that they inhabit and bring a behind the scenes perspective with the designers they interview. It’s fun to listen to these...Read full review »

“Gushing” is the best word I can come up with for these two RISD Beckys.. when any woke topics are brought up.. gag me with a spoon 🥄 🤢
Dill BeBasio via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/20
Talking about design is always hard. The folks at Clever have figured out how to bring a highly visual medium to vivid life with just their (and their guests) words. And if you’re dying for some visuals, well then, check out their accompanying blog and social presence. Good stuff! Thank you Clever!
Wagsissticks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/20
I’m very glad that there’s now a good podcast that is for designers, by designers. There’s always an interesting guest who has great insights into design and the world at large. I’d love to see some University of Cincinnati grads on as guests, as the design program at DAAP is world-class....Read full review »

So inspiring, interviews go in-depth into the guest’s history, their design process and what inspires them, I always feel energized after listening, there’s something here for everyone.

I'm always looking for good interior design podcasts, and this is one of the best I've come across! It's a good mix of focus on the human and the designer. Something that really sticks out to me consistently is the great questions that the hosts ask. The conversations are really...Read full review »

I love how they really dig into the whole story of a creative’s journey. Excellent guests, interviews, questions, and insights. Look forward to each new episode.

I liked a lot how spontaneous and authentic was the conversation with the designer.
Movi Me via Apple Podcasts · Spain · 02/28/20
This show is such a gem. If you call yourself a creative then you need to listen to this.
Katie Haremski via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/20
Such a fun, interesting, and thoughtful look at any and all aspects of design & creativity! The depth & breadth of the amazing people being interviewed is like no other. And the wisdom, joy, creative thought and processes shared by people most of us would never have a chance to meet or...Read full review »
Number1156 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/19
Amy and Jaime get some of the most influential designers to give up an hour of their time for the same questions: tell us about your childhood, how’d you start [insert company or profession here], what’s your process like. The absolute least they could do is at least try to think of a question...Read full review »

I’m a student and this podcast has opened my mind to all kinds of new ideas and designs. I love learning about how people made it as artists and designers. I would love to hear more advice for students from each guest. New episodes can’t come soon enough

I heard about Clever when creator Amy Devers did a panel at parents weekend at RISD, where my child had just started. I must admit I’m one of the art school parents a little worried their child has signed up for a lifetime as a starving artist. But I started listening to this podcast and am...Read full review »

I started listening to clever when they interviewed my design leader. They did an amazing job excavating the insight and inspiration of not only him but all subjects they interview. I’ve left every interview with new inspiration and hunger to progress my own design career. So many amazing ideas...Read full review »

dear amy and jaime, thank you for sharing your intoxicating joy and passion in these interviews. i love the insightful questions...it is rare to learn about the personal side of these designers and you two make it so easy and relatable. BRAVO!!
designmilk addict via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/19
I love this podcast because it mixes both brains and heart seamlessly to keep the conversations intriguing. Interesting guests that I would not have otherwise heard of. I like that they are not afraid to laugh at themselves and also be frank about their own challenges.
buddysayhi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/19
Havent found a podcast that dwells on designers and their process through the years like this one. Thanks much and keep the good work going!
Ahmad_5280 via Apple Podcasts · Nigeria · 06/13/19
this podcast is bad. the interviewers are ditzes frankly- they ask boring questions and constantly laugh while the guest is speaking. they also exclaim “cool” and “wow” like children. nothing about this is profound
mariobanderfa67 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/19
I don’t feel comfortable when the interviewers repeatedly interrupt the stories to say anything meaningful, too many confirmation onomatopoeias. In the other hand even when I like that they ask about childhood and beginning of the guest’s career, I think the final segment when they review the...Read full review »
zneliana via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/19
Meh
I really wanted to like this but I can't look past how the interviewers so regularly interupt the guests mid sentence to talk about themselves. I also could do without the last segment of each show where they recap the interview; that muddied everything for me.Read full review »
TootsiePapi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/19
What’s great about Clever are the folks interviewed and what they have to say about their lives. The show has three main problems, though: 1) The hosts never deviate from the same q&a format... the questions they ask are exactly the same from one guest to another. As a listener who hung on a...Read full review »

Lame questions. Lots of “wow. That’s so cool.” Really? Two Valley Girls who embarrass themselves and waste the time of talented designers. The Azerrad episode was beyond cringeworthy. One of the Kardashians could ha e done better. Don’t waste your time. Listen to the DNA (Design and...Read full review »

Clever is a warm conversation with artists. There is exciting conversation going through the lives of designers. There are all these sparks of inspiration in each episode to see how art affects the guests as they develop their skills and eye for expression.

The hosts do a great job of getting the whole picture of the designers they interview, from their upbringing, how their business got off the ground and what they're up to now. Some of my favorites were David Trubridge, Harry Allen and David Weeks.Read full review »
