New design podcast

May 2022

Tuning in to the podcast trend

Podcasts have become one of the most popular (audio) entertainment forms in the UK with over 15 million listeners in the UK in 2020.

In the B2B interiors market, however they're still a lot of untapped potential. We helped our client Johnson Tiles step into this realm as part of its 120 year anniversary celebrations.

Design Re:Source

Johson Tiles launched its podcast - Design Re:source - hosted by Natalie Silverman, in 2021.

It's an insightful podcast series for architects and designers exploring what it means to be resourceful in British design today.

It features four guests from across the industry providing an entertaining and educational glimpse into their personal and unique experiences.

Seeing the wood for the trees

Kicking off the podcast series, bespoke furniture designer Sandy Buchanan talks about his passion for sustainable timber, building sustainably, and the importance of community to build a purpose-driven business.

Building a community

From furniture design through to interior design, Nina Woodcroft joined the second episode, discussing how her experience working abroad and her strong network of freelancers and friends has shaped her work and helped her navigate the past 18 months.

Making it British

Kate Hills, founder of Make it British, shares her passion for making in the UK and how she has devoted the last 10 years to promoting British brands and local manufacturing.

Designing in diversity

Finally, Kirsty Thomas, designer and founder of Tom Pigeon and co-founder of Make Bank shines a light on creative poverty.

She highlights the barriers that prevent disadvantaged young people from pursuing a creative education and career and how the Make Bank social project is working to change that.
