We are excited today to announce a new podcast, sort of. It’s more like a “side quest” or an offshoot show, and it will be a part of the regular Thoroughly Considered feed. It’s called The Last Detail.

For each episode Tom and I will chat with a different guest about a physical object that is meaningful to them. We dive deep into that object, discussing the design, the manufacturing process, the good, and bad, and everything in-between. The show gets its title from one of Dieter Rams’s design principles, “Good Design is Thorough Down to the Last Detail.”

The regular Thoroughly Considered show with Myke Hurley will continue as it always has, in which we chat about the ups and downs of running a small indie business. We’ve been recording that show for 7(!) years and we love making it. Those episodes come out roughly once a month, so we figured there was some space in the feed to try something new.

The first episode of The Last Detail is now available, featuring our dear friend Adam Lisagor. Adam is the founder of Sandwich, and one of the kindest and most thoughtful people we know. We couldn’t have chosen a better person to be the inaugural guest.

We hope you give it a try!
