The Product Design Podcast

Seth Coelen runs a UX recruiting and coaching firm called UX Cabin, and this podcast grew out of the conversations he was already having with designers looking for their next role. That origin shapes everything about the show. Episodes are short, usually 20 to 35 minutes, and the questions are pointed: how did you get hired, what did your portfolio look like, what mistakes did you make interviewing, what does your team actually do day to day. Seth interviews working product designers at companies most listeners have heard of, along with hiring managers and design leaders who can speak to what they're looking for. He's not a dramatic interviewer and he doesn't push guests into hot takes. He just asks clear questions and lets people answer them. That makes the show especially good for designers who are job hunting or thinking about switching companies, since you can binge a dozen episodes and start to see real patterns in how hiring works at different sized organizations. There's also a steady thread of portfolio advice and practical tips on showing process work without drowning interviewers in screenshots. The catalog is large enough now that you can search by company or by topic. New episodes still come out on a regular schedule, usually weekly.
