Faster Horses | A podcast about UI design, user experience, UX design, product and technology
Brighten your day – learn about user experience, design, products, gaming and technology. With entertaining and funny chat that goes off on unexpected tangents about life, everyday pain points and hilarious solutions.
80% random, 20% user experience (UX) and user interfaces (UI)*
Your hosts Mark, Nick and Paul discuss a different subject around design, UX, UI, business and technology, with the occasional special guest thrown in for good measure.
Ironically as Henry Ford almost definitely did not say: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” – we try and put the user back into the experience.
Learn from industry leaders about their experiences and how to deal with them.
We'll dip into the UX tombola to pick out a random hot topic to discuss, poke and prod.
Saddle up and join us for the wild ride of humour, experience and sound-proofing cushions that is Faster Horses.
*may contain nuts and the odd bit of swearing – sorry (not sorry!).
