Great interviewees
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 bit too long, this got very boring. Even the summaries of the episodes look like fill-in-the-blanks. 2) The hosts often interrupt the guests mid-sentence to talk about themselves. 3) Once the interview is over, the hosts spend approximately 10 minutes gushing over a given guest and repeating everything the guest already said, but much less eloquently. The episodes are already quite long... I really wish an editor with fresh eyes would come in and give this part of the show the axe. For a long time I just remembered to hit pause before this part started, but today I decided to write this review in hopes that the show could be improved. Clever had so much potential and I love the designers, architects, etc. that are brought on to share. Here’s hoping the producers get out of their way and let them share their amazing selves with less interruption and unnecessary commentary.

The Clever Podcast is a design revelation. Since discovering it a few months ago (aplogies for the late signup ladies) I have been addicted to the sincere, witty, detailed interviews on some of the world's best designers. As a designer, it is both inspiring and super refreshing to hear...Read full review »
