Debbie Millman’s fantastic, National-Design-Award-winning Design Matters podcast – remarkable interviews with designers, artists, and cultural leaders - is now on SoundCloud.

For a taste, here is Millman’s interview with the inimitable Roman Mars of 99% Invisible fame:

[To tell a good, authentic story], you basically have to take your sincerity and the things that you feel and deconstruct it and reorder it and circle all the way back to getting back to that original sincerity and the thing that felt in the beginning that compelled you to tell that story. And all of that process is very technical.

Other interviews include Tina Roth Eisenberg, Jessica Hische, Bill Moggridge, Stefan Sagmeister, Erik Spiekermann, and yours truly.
