Hard to believe it's been three weeks since we released Episode 17. Joe and I were on a long patrol North of the Wall, but we're now back safe and sound in the good company of the interwebs, our microphones, and a whole bunch of Venture Design That Blows Our Minds (VDTBOM). In the future we aim to hit a regular stride of podcast releases every two weeks. So, here's Episode 18. We talk through a wide range of topics, from the fermentation process to Charlotte's Web to Star Wars. Maybe a bit too much Star Wars. We're joined this week by Susan O'Malley. Susan is a Business Designer at IDEO, and as you might expect she combines an incisive mind for business systems with an extremely creative and well-read mindset. We hoped having Susan join us on the pod would help us achieve some new heights of VDTBOM awesomeness, so we hope you enjoy our conversation together as much as we did. We hope to have Susan back as a regular on future pods. By the way, if we were measuring the progress of this podcast in a unit of Sopranos Seasons, we would now be about a third of the way through Season Two. One of the things we've learned along the way of creating these 18 podcast episodes is the surprising amount of time editing and production takes—and we're not even shooting for a Roman Mars level of seamless audio quality here at IDEO Futures (though we want it to be great). Roughly speaking, for us every ten minutes of podcast requires about an hour of editing time. We're not bringing this up as a complaint, more to identify a big opportunity for someone to come in and make podcast a whole lot easier. We're not sure what the solution is, but if there's an entrepreneur out there working on a solution, we wish you the best of luck! Want to keep in touch?
