Listening to podcasts opens us to other designers' techniques, responsibilities, hardships, and experiences. Hearing their stories helps us to learn, feel inspired, and feel a sense of belonging.

The hosts of the UX Podcast want to empower aspiring UX designers by encouraging open and widespread conversation about many UX-related topics, such as design, research, business, and tech. Their primary motivation is to educate and eliminate stoic behaviours that often happen in the design world, such as authentic knowledge share between designers.
