Entertaining
Updated review: This show gets better and better. You’ll be enamored with their casual style and straight-talk approach. I encourage everyone on my team to listen. The topics range from beginner to advanced, but all are beginner-friendly in how they’re presented. If you’re the (surprisingly rare) type that stays on the bleeding edge in design, UX, or product, you’ll find many concepts you’re already familiar with; do not let that deter you from subscribing. It’s surprisingly helpful to hear these concepts applied in different areas, the war stories about them in practice, and even just having them reinforced by people who you’d happily join in a wine whine sesh. The show leans more towards theory than practice, which honestly is better for a podcast, though I would like to hear more specifics. Fingers crossed these two expand the brand to include content and workshops that focus on the nitty gritty of implementation; Like an online Paint Nite but with state tables instead of canvases and drunk UX people instead of drunk ex-sorority girls.

Fun way to learn UX
Omg Laura and Kate are so funny... I just learned about this podcast. I’m only up to episode 3 so far but was already laughing since episode 1. This is such an awesome podcast to listen to while I’m doing work. Looking forward to more!

Laughing in traffic - the best medicine!
Thanks for making me laugh. Loved the everyone is a designer episode! I was super frustrated and a tad confused by this phenomenon as well! Looking forward to more episodes! You guys are hilarious!

-2 stars for not enough wine
I had to pour my own glass as a workaround. Plus 7 stars for snark and making me grin and laugh out loud on a near constant basis. Love this. It’s just fun.

Real wisdom, kids
Listen up, Millenials, these women were this wise before you were born. Pay close attention to them. Cheers!

Pretensiousless UX
Kate & Laura is the best UX podcast. Fun, insightful & informative. It’s Last Week Tonight, Full Frontal, Rachel Maddow, & Real Time where the world of UX is the subject rather than politics. So it leaves the audience slightly less depressed! I love it!

Good for “aspiring” PMs and Designers
Unfortunately, the two podcasts I listened to were full of patently obvious “insights” and some bad advice. As a product manager, I would strongly discourage other PMs from wasting their time here. Great though if you’re unfamiliar with product management and design and are looking for a primer.

must hear
this is my new favorite thing. if you are in the field of ux and/or design and/or touch digital products in any capacity, this podcast is a moral imperative. and it’s the most raw and funniest take on the industry that is available anywhere.

So good!
I love this podcast. There aren't many UX podcasts out there and I was so happy to find this one! They give real honest advice about UX and it's useful for everyone from beginners to much further in your career. It is like having two really great UX mentors that have already covered everything you might want to ask them in a recorded format. And of course they're funny and entertaining too!

Great insights, poor audio quality
I leave this review out of love, because Laura and Kate do such a great job at taking their wealth of design and product insights and presenting it in a fun, approachable way. Unfortunately, the audio isn't very good — I've been listening for a while and they still haven't made any improvement in recording quality that nearly all of the other small podcasts I listen to have done to ensure a great experience for listeners. This podcast covers a lot of important topics for design professionals and I'd recommend it to anyone with the audio issues resolved!

Perfect Blend
Just found this podcast after attending a conference Laura spoke at. The hosts are hilarious, have a great rapport, and are obviously very experienced. Each episode is a perfect blend of information, advice, and laughs.

An Intern
This podcast is an insightful look into the industry. Even if you’re not going into UX, it's completely relevant to really anyone who is in the making-things kind of industry. I’m someone who’s about to graduate college, who’s looking to become a product designer (they’re episode on product designers was amazing btw) and all this material is completely accessible to me so you’ll have no problem understanding what points they’re trying to make. I can only hope to find a mentor like them someday.

Laura and Kate drop knowledge & you laugh
Kate and Laura share their deep knowledge of UX with funny stories that are sometimes actually true. Don’t let the fun tone fool you. There are great insights that can make you work smarter.

A great way to learn UX
This podcast is THE most interesting way to learn really useful insights in UX. A must listen for any practicing and aspiring designer.

Straight up actionable advice
Less swearing than I expected, and way more useful actionable advice. Any modern designer woudl do well to listen to these two leading Lean Startup figures as they teach you how to make products that have a shot of making it in the market.

Every pod is a happy (half) hour
2 opinionated ladies. Drinking wine. What could go wrong? Nothing! Great thoughts from 2 leaders in the field.

Hanging out with F-ing smart people
At it's very best, this podcast will make you better at your job. For example the C-FWOT episode isn't just about complaining about or even avoiding wastes of time, it's breathing new life into the hollow expression "fail fast." The rest of the time it's two funny, real people with solid conversational rapport, being smart about UX and design. Some of this is a little "inside baseball" but it's never boring.
