What this episode covers

Jason Snell, founder of sixcolors.com, discusses his Breville The Tea Maker, a stainless steel and glass appliance that automates steeping by lowering and lifting a magnetic infuser basket. The hosts analyze the device's mechanical engineering, specifically the magnet-driven mechanism, and its user interface, debating the trade-offs between presets and manual controls. They also contrast Breville's design philosophy with competitors like the Breville Smart T Infuser and the Breville Joule, highlighting the importance of physical controls over app-dependent smart features.

    Afterschool Podcast, Episode 10 - Joey Roth (11/1)

    Joey Roth, founder of his eponymous design studio, discusses his Ceramic Speaker System, teapot, and poster series, explaining how his background in industrial design theory at Swarthmore College informs his 'reformed minimalist' approach. He details the transition from a student project to a business, driven by unexpected press coverage for his teapot which led to pre-orders and production in Asia. Roth explains his material choices for the speakers, specifically using porcelain for acoustic properties and aesthetic honesty, and his recent addition of wireless capability via an add-on unit to maintain sound quality. He emphasizes that his unique voice and focus on the user's ritual and interaction are the core drivers of his product development.
