Forming Function Podcast

We’ll be popping up this Thursday at Eastern Market After Dark as part of the Detroit Month of Design! Just like last year, we will be collecting recordings from the Detroit design community. Stop by and share your story with us!

Friend of the show and creator of our theme music, Paul Corsi, joins us for episode 20 to judge our short design stories.

We were so happy to have skateboarders Trevor Staples and Alec Beck from The Skatepark Project join us for our latest episode!

Check out Episode 19 to hear them talk about the design of skateparks, community engagement, Detroit area parks, and more!

Standards and measurements may seem boring on the surface, but they are what allow design concepts to manifest into reality. Brian and Sam explore stories behind the units of the metric system (specifically the kilogram, the meter, and the candela) and bring a little life to these otherwise mundane numbers.

It’s football season and guest reporter Kelsey Reynolds joins us to talk about how broadcasting, fashion, and the Olympics influence the design of sports jerseys. Then she throws the ball over to Sam to talk about footballs themselves. Go sports!
