Design Matters
Debbie Millman
Debbie Millman's interviews with designers, artists, and writers like Bobby Hundreds and Quiara Alegría Hudes.
Why we picked this
We picked Design Matters for the way host Debbie Millman treats conversation as a design discipline. Her interviews are long, patient excavations of a creative life — not a portfolio tour. Guests range across poetry, painting, and law, but the method stays fixed: Millman tracks how formative experiences (a confronting mortality, a demanding mentor, a detour through law school) harden into creative conviction. The show trades industry gossip for biographical depth, and the back catalog rewards a straight-through listen.
