🎧 Episode 3 – Why UX > UI (And No, They’re Not the Same)

Are UX and UI just two sides of the same coin? Or are they fundamentally different? In this episode, we're cutting through the confusion to explain why User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) are distinct disciplines – and why understanding this difference is crucial for any successful product. We'll explore why the 'engine' often matters more than the 'paint job,' and how prioritizing UX leads to better business outcomes.

🚗 Expect analogies involving cars, coffee machines, and real-world examples from everyday tech.

💡 Plus: the surprising history of the 'undo' button, a deep dive into Airbnb's UX success story, and a clear explanation of why good UX means big returns on investment.

Whether you're new to design or a seasoned pro, this episode will equip you with a clearer understanding of these vital concepts and why one often takes precedence in creating truly impactful products.

🎧 Episode 2 – A Very Brief History of UX

What is UX, really? And how did we get here?

In this episode, we take a quick (but punchy!) stroll through the surprisingly rich history of user experience — from ancient tools and ergonomics to the digital age and beyond. You’ll learn how psychology, design, and technology intersected over time to create what we now call “UX.”

📜 Expect mentions of Da Vinci, Don Norman, and even a warplane or two.
💡 Plus: fun facts, forgotten milestones, and the one term Steve Jobs didn’t invent (but definitely made popular).

Whether you're brand new to UX or have been in the field for years, this quick dive into the past might just reshape how you think about the present.
