Description

The Radical Design Podcast is a special monthly show re-thinking the radical potentials of design. We aim to understand the world better through deep conversations with people who are doing significant things. Dive into design beyond the conventional. Hosted by Oliver Vodeb, the podcast explores how design intersects with radical practice and adventurous thought. Each episode features conversations with thinkers, activists and practitioners who do work that matters. Some of the guests so far included Arturo Escobar, Patricio Dávila and Kyle Magee. Built on Memefest's 24 years of global work on radical design, this podcast is our new "pirate island" for discussions about things and in ways that go beyond institutional, professional or disciplinary boundaries.

We are interested in design emerging in the undercurrents, kicking capitalism while its down. From the aesthetics of resistance to strategies of radical imagination, the podcast investigates the ideas shaping design as a tool for transformation.

Our first series, Radical Intimacies features dialogues with contributors to the book Radical Intimacies: Designing Non-Extractive Relationalities, exploring themes of dialogue, power, land, interventions, and radical praxis. Find the book here.

Our conversations highlight design operating beyond dominant, extractive paradigms—aimed at imagining and building new worlds and social relations.
