“I’ve been listening to the podcast for over 2 years, so it may be a terrible reflection on myself that I’m rating this podcast 2 stars.
Marina and David have the career bullet points down to produce a successful and enjoyable podcast. They are young, design oriented, and David teaches on/off - great for their target audience of young designers. They have decent connections to pull very interesting guests in LA and SF. Their ethnicity and nationalities make them minorities.
Despite all these things, some things that come out of David’s mouth are so despicable. Your minority status doesn’t give you immunity and does not make you as progressive as you think you are. He exudes this arrogance and elitism that us designers and architects need to call out and change. Talk about others with more respect (including to Marina) — this reflects very poorly when you talk down to people you are designing a world for.
I will keep listening to this podcast, because some of the guests that are brought on are extremely interesting to listen to, and David usually keeps his opinions to himself. I will easily skip certain design “variety” episodes where David rambles and complains like a bratty child.”
