Iterate Podcast

Iterate is a new fortnightly podcast, focusing on mobile and app design for all iOS, Mac, Android and other platforms.

Each episode, Rene Ritchie, Seth Clifford and I will cover topics and content similar to the articles written on this site, as well as design news and an interview with a prominent designer or company.

We have a stellar list of guests lined up. We’ll be grilling them about prototyping, workflows, techniques, and generally pestering them until they give up all their design secrets, so you, the listener, can benefit.

If there’s a topic you’d like covered, please don’t hold back—we’ll be making time to tackle a couple of questions each show.
