Let's Talk Design

NYCxDESIGN invites all members of New York City’s design community to participate in The Mic–a user-generated podcast series hosted by Debbie Millman. This platform offers international visibility to NYC designers from all backgrounds and inspires our city’s creative community by sharing diverse perspectives on a variety of topics.

This year, in consideration of world events and the common experiences we share, The Mic explores Design for Sharing. Beginning in October 2020 and culminating in May 2021 with The Festival, this overarching theme will introduce corresponding monthly topics, such as Gathering Together, Living Well, and Beauty is Everywhere—each one underscoring design as a powerful connector and catalyst to help us build a better future together.
 

In addition to robust distribution across all of NYCxDESIGN’s digital channels and publication on all major podcast apps, episodes of The Mic will be broadcast through DesignTV by SANDOW, a syndicated video network featuring design-focused programming. DesignTV is broadcast at 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday on Interior Design, Luxe Interiors + Design, and Metropolis Facebook pages and websites and available on demand across the SANDOW digital network, reaching more than 12 million design professionals and enthusiasts.

New York City designers will have the opportunity to pitch their stories through a submission process and be interviewed by Debbie Millman for the podcast.
