Essential and Thought-Provoking
The Observatory is the smartest discussion on design I've come across in the podcast world. Michael and Jessica bring a great deal of experience and design thinking to each episode, and it's enthralling to hear their commentary on everything from current events to typography. As I listen, I feel like I'm overhearing their conversation at a coffee shop, and I, sitting at the next table, cannot help but lean closer to listen in on the candid discourse. I'd be tempted to buy them both a coffee, so I could join them at the table and share in the conversation. For the present time however, I'll just keep listening on my iPhone and earnestly awaiting each new episode.Read full review »

I Strongly recommend TO to anyone interested in design. The show is presented by two industry luminaries who I could listen to for hours. Thanks Jessica, Thanks Michael.
