Lovely Debbie Millman just announced Season Six of Design Matters. It will premiere on Design Observer this Friday at 3pm with my legendary guest Massimo Vignelli.
After an entire year off air to launch the Masters in Branding Program at the School of Visual Arts, Debbie is returning to regular broadcasts and a full season of interviews with designers, artists, writers, thought leaders and general all-around provocateurs.
Design Matters began in February of 2005 with an idea and a telephone line. Mostly, she started out doing it for herself–she thought it would be a great way to ask her guests everything she wanted to know about their lives and their thoughts and their careers without seeming stalker-y. In the process, she realized the opportunity to share the insights of her guests with a listenership.
Friday marks the beginning of a new season on a new station as well. She will be recording her shows live in the brand spanking new recording studio at 132 West 21st Street in NYC—home of the Masters in Branding Program at the School of Visual Arts —and the shows will be aired at the regular time online: 3PM on Fridays. Design Observer will be broadcasting Design Matters, and you can listen to both the new episodes, as well as the entire archive of past shows here: www.designobserver.com.
Guests for for Season Six include Massimo Vignelli, Stephen Doyle, Eric Baker, Ralph Caplan, Marjan Bantjes, Kate Bingaman-Burt, Dominique Browning, Steven Heller, Alexandra Lange & Jane Thompson, James Victore, Tina Roth Eisenberg (gulp) and more…
