What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have listened to nearly every episode (and am working my way through the OG ones). It is such a great podcast and is so relatable to people new to design as well as seasoned veterans. I mainly wanted to write this review after seeing some negative comments from other listeners — Karen was a hilarious host but the remaining women have done a GREAT job in her absence. Liz is a delightful host with a soothing voice and very refined/considered point of view. I love her addition to the group! I look forward to the podcast every week and reference it in daily conversation with friends.

Taryn is my favorite but they are all wonderful. Honestly, I just like hearing them talk more than any of the guests. Trials and Triumphs is so relatable and helpful. I like that I can actually buy the items they particularly like.

seg2419 · Feb 2025

This is a great podcast to listen to if you are interested in designing realistic and comfortable spaces for your home. I almost always learn something from the established design professionals who serve as guests. There’s only been one episode that I did not like (the guest was from a nationally recognized paint company who brought up politics on a design podcast - gross). The hosts are entertaining and “keep it real” by sharing their personal design projects and dilemmas.

R Dunham · Nov 2024

I love listening to the hosts and their guests! I always learn something in every episode and love the Design Dilemma and Trials and Triumphs segments. Keep up the great work! Thanks!

AllisonVS5 · Sep 2024

I listened to three episodes in the hopes it would get better. It did not. The host(s?) can’t ad lib a genuine conversation. It seems they have stock questions they ask but, as soon as the opportunity arises to expand on a topic spontaneously, they either miss it entirely or fill the space with meaningless platitudes such as, “So you find the New Orleans art scene is pretty colorful? That’s so neat. Do you find yourself using a lot of color in your designs?” Duh, the guest already stated this dozens of times. Bottom line: I don’t learn anything about the supposed subject of the podcast. The time is spent getting to know each guest through the teenage small-talk of the hosts. It s painful. Its design for people who know nothing about design. I give it credit for not being a commercial for Ballard Designs though.
