| Can Claude Design? | 20 Jun 2026 | 00:45:34 | |
Everyone's talking about Claude Design. But can it actually design? Spoiler: it depends who's asking. In this episode, we put Claude Design under the microscope and explore the reality behind the hype. All four hosts give their honest verdict. From blank page syndrome to brand drift, from token costs to data centres in the desert. Along the way, we discuss discuss design systems, tackle what AI is changing and how designers and everyday PowerPoint users can stay ahead as the rules keep shifting.

| Meet your hosts… and a dog named Dave | 20 Jun 2026 | 00:03:54 | |
This is where it all starts. In this first episode, we introduce the show, the hosts, and one unofficial team member called Dave. Four people who live and breathe presentations - a psychologist, a storyteller, a typography obsessive, and a designer with 20 years of slides under his belt - coming together to help non-designers up their presentation game and designers hate PowerPoint slightly less. Whether you're a presentation designer, a complete PowerPoint sceptic, or somewhere in the middle, this one's for you.
