Making Space to Explore Why?
After many years of conversations between long-term friends, But Why? A Design Podcast was launched. Hosted by Eugene Hooks of platFORMed and Stirling Fletcher of Wasted By Design, it began with an idea to write a book. One with many chapters shaped by shared frustrations and a belief that design holds power and therefore responsibility.
What has evolved is less pen and more mic. Eugene and Stirling chose the podcast format as a more productive way to invite contribution from design purveyors, leaders and change-makers, experts in their respective fields. The conversations are not scripted, polished or performative. They are honest, exploratory and occasionally uncomfortable.
The podcast explores design responsibility, circularity, materials, systems, culture, leadership and legacy. It looks beneath the surface, into the trade-offs that rarely make the case study and the moments where good intent meets real-world complexity. Some episodes are interviews. Others are reflections. All are anchored in the belief that better questions lead to better outcomes.
But Why? A Design Podcast is for designers and non-designers alike. It invites curiosity and reflection.
