Be A Design Cast 50th Anniversary : Steven Heller
I met Steven Heller at a party, in a line at the bar. I knew that in a few days time I would conducting this interview, which I spent a great deal of time preparing for (admittedly unusual for us), and yet that still didn’t keep my knees from shaking or my heartbeat at a reasonable level. It wasn’t fear or anxiety or anything like that. It was just a moment. Make that a Moment, with a capital “M.” I’ll ruminate about meeting my design icons at another time, let me just say that a line at a bar at a party is a fine place to meet Steven Heller.
I won’t spend time here telling you why you should listen to this show, because it’s Steven Heller, for crying out loud. I can tell you this: Steven Heller requires no editing. Even our most savvy and intelligent guests up to this point have occasionally been stumped by our ridiculous lines of questioning, or the impossible Reflex Blue Round trivia, but not Steven. Not a moment’s hesitation, not a breath between thoughts. The man is like a lightning rod for intelligent discussion, and he delivered was is surely our finest show to date. Hats off.
Thank you for listening and please enjoy our 50th show.
Sincerely,
Nate Voss

Haven’t listened yet, but I wanted to congratulate you guys on the 50th episode.
So, congratulations, and keep up the good work. It keeps getting better.

Yes, congratulations! (Ah, but still no transcript. Perhaps in the next 50.)
I just was at the Heller lecture here in DC (I didn’t hear it all, but was able to create my own parallel lecture in my head — I like that sometimes about being hard of hearing. I have a dual reality.) And was also able to introduce myself as Inaudible Nonsense at the book signing.
He’s a fantastic speaker and it was an absolute pleasure to see him in the flesh and see his presentation.

I’m jealous that you got to meet him
