I just started listening to the podcast. I’m currently on the one with Bob Baxley. Wow! So good. I usually listen to podcasts when I drive but I think I need to listen again to write down the nuggets. Thanks for producing such great content.

This is honestly the best UX podcast I’ve come across. Every episode is so enlightening and RELATABLE. Somehow Jason knows exactly what to ask the participants, and The participants provide honest answers. I like how people with all sorts of experience levels are a part of this so it really...Read full review »

Jason has an infectiously uplifting attitude towards everyone he encounters. His overt respect and subtle kindness seeps through every episode. This podcast provides valuable guidance for anyone from newbies to vets from the perspective of someone who’s been in it for over 25 years.

The conversations are honest, and Jason has GREAT guests. I loved the one with Seth Godin, he is such a humble human being. The episode with Jared Spool remains my absolute favorite. It's refreshing to come across UX content that's not fluffy and dives into the heart of what it means to...Read full review »

I love your content Jason. You are my guru, always inspiring. I will definitely write you a mail , once I land my job in design world. Every-time I listen to your show, I feel you are directly talking to me. :)

Hands down one of the best ux/ design podcasts there is. Ive learned something from every episode and always leave with some valuable insight or takeaway that I can apply to my own process and ux journey. Jason is super inspiring and an excellent interviewer. Ive honestly learned more in 6 months...Read full review »

Whether you’re looking for a new position in the UX world, want to improve your skills, or hear from talented UXers, there’s few UX podcasts that are better than User Defenders. Jason’s interview style, guests, detailed show notes, and solo episodes are a wealth of information. He’s also not...Read full review »

I finished an immersive course in UX right before the pandemic (around the time you left your job). I have struggled to secure a role and gave up at some point. This podcast was a huge motivation to try again! Thank you!
Zephaniah92 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/21
I’ve been listening for a few years now and really get a lot out of this podcast. I would definitely say my career has improved and progressed with this added ammunition. Jason is an incredible host who is open, honest and authentic. He is someone most people can relate to. Check out episode 80,...Read full review »

I enjoy the show very much. The content is so relevant to someone like me who is trying to transition career into UX. It really lift me up during my job hunt, like listening to a friend who is giving me some really honest career advice. The show is making the world a better place by helping one...Read full review »

I've been so encouraged by this podcast. Jason and his guests are part of what helped me decide to pursue a career change. They've been so encouraging and it's been so exciting to find a whole group of people who care about the same stuff I do.Read full review »

I’ve been a fan of this podcast for years, and I like Jason’s style and approach. Great guests and topics, and I think one of the most accessible ux/design podcasts out there. The latest episode in particular was great to listen to as a battle hardened UXer!
chillfinn via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/08/21
I’ve spent a lot of time listening to most podcasts on design during the world’s longest lockdown (Melbourne, Australia), and User Defenders is one of the best. The content coming out of the User Defenders podcast from Jason and his guests has provided me with amazing insights and inspiration...Read full review »

I discovered this podcast thanks to a collegue of mine, since then I actually got addicted to ir. A huge thanks to Jason and all the effort he puts into the podcast. Last but not least, the quality of both the content and the audio is sublime.
Imre Guaglianone via Apple Podcasts · Italy · 09/30/21
Aggravatingly awful mic quality + poor audio production/mixing, annoying sound effects, and the host brings minimal insight to the table (just a lot of “yeah,” “wow,” and fake laughing).
Lil chickin Wang via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/21
I just listened to the latest podcast about Landing the first UX job, and I gotta tell you how inspiring it was and how much I connected with Jordan's story. I myself have made the transition from graphic designer to UX. Also, that idea of just being genuine to land a job is very liberating....Read full review »

⭐️ Here’s the other one. You can tell just by listening to Jason, the host, interact with his guests that he cares about making genuine connections, spreading positivity, and sharing knowledge with others. And he’s got a sense of humor. This podcast fun, insightful, inspiring, and empowering,...Read full review »

This podcast is not only informative but inspirational. It has helped me with my feelings of imposter syndrome and encouraged me to embrace the journey. All super heroes get knocked down but they always get back up to fight another day.
moo d blues via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/21
Hi Jason! Im a fan of your podcast and super hero’s! Thank you for being the string thats connecting us to people in the field with the experiences and knowledge I hope to achieve in the future. I find myself listening to certain episodes multiple times to really absorb the content. Keep it going!
Ninajlfox via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/21
I first discovered User Defenders when I was researching UX-related communities and resources about a year ago. This podcast was truly heaven-sent because it got me through some of my darkest days during the first chapter of my UX journey. There is always something inspirational and relatable...Read full review »
DefenderShielala via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/21
The guests are full of valuable information and the host asks insightful questions. Worth the listen, and I’ve found it often has nuggets that apply to other roles outside of just UX like Product Management and development.
Mountains_are_calling via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/21
I liked hearing how Branden dealt with Jason in a very compassionate and inclusive way but maybe it was more about promoting his new app. I don’t think that this show is really for me. I was expecting more user-centric inspo.
Transformer2 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/15/21
I have been listening to this podcast as I transitioned careers fully into UX. (I actually think Jason and I applied to the same job, in which Jason landed the job and not me 😀 but the team there really made an impression on me, as did this show.) I have been listening religiously for some time...Read full review »

I started listening to User Defenders in my time getting out of the house at the start of the pandemic in 2020. Many of us had ups and downs in our working lives or those we seek to have in that time but the varied selection of informative guests has never failed to inspire me from the beginning....Read full review »

Hey there, So my mentor from my UX/UI Design bootcamp actually recommended me to check your podcast out since I started to become obsessed with learning through hearing. As a female - I need to do multitasking jobs and doing just one thing (especially when cleaning or cooking) is the most...Read full review »
Emskyyyyyyyyy via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/15/21
I think this could be my fave podcast ever - it’s a wealth of knowledge and information, not just simple facts on UX but a storytelling time with some of the gods of UX. Jason delves in to opinions, and topics that really matter, and it’s always fun! Thank you :)
RachelWallis via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/13/21
EZ 5 stars. A complete inspiration for anyone looking for a great listen. I stumbled across the User Defenders podcast in the start of my own UX journey, just recently during a house move. I was hooked from the first episode I listened to. As someone who does not have a design background but...Read full review »

I'm currently in a UX bootcamp. I found your podcast and have probably learned more meaningful lessons from you than my $7k course. Jason's passion for UX is obvious. This show is all about heart. Thank you for everything that you do.Read full review »

As a junior UX designer always looking to learn, this podcast has been SO beneficial. It helps me get unique perspectives of impressive designers, and overall helps me become a better designer along the way.

Hands down, this is the best UX/UI podcast!

Great UX insight, even if you are a UX newbie.

I have been listening to this podcast for a few months now and I love it. I love that Jason goes deeper with his questions. He has the sense to ask the right questions and what I like the most is that he allows the guests talk and tell their unique and inspiring stories. He is a very good...Read full review »

I’ve heard about the User Defenders podcast for a long time now and I’m only mad that I waited so long to listen. If every episode is even half as good as the “Empathy as a Design Super Power,” I’m in for a real treat. Empathy is talked about a lot in UX Design but Jason really brings it home in...Read full review »

I stumbled upon this podcast- can’t remember how- and so glad I did. This episode was great. I’m a freelance copywriter who believes all copywriters, not just UX writers, should study UX.

And I’ve listened a second time to multiple episodes. The interviews are excellent, and the...Read full review »

This podcast is always full of amazing insights for user centered design.
