The Radical Design Podcast is a new 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 social change, politics, and radical thought. Each episode features conversations with thinkers, activists, and creators who challenge norms, reimagine systems, and push the boundaries of what design can do.
We are interested in design emerging in the undercurrents, kicking capitalism while its down. 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. These conversations highlight design operating beyond dominant, extractive paradigms—aimed at imagining and building new worlds and social relations. Find the book here.
From the aesthetics of resistance to strategies of radical imagination, the podcast investigates the ideas shaping design as a tool for transformation.
