Scott Billings wrote a great article for Design Week about the ostensible conundrum of making radio about design. If you are a Design Week subscriber, you can read it in all it’s glory here. It even has a photo of yours truly. If you are not lucky (or wealthy) enough to have access, Scott also has the text available on his professional site. Thanks Scott!

"Roman Mars lights the radio. His pieces conjure other worlds, grapple with big ideas, make sound three dimensional. They are smart and funny and original. The Kitchen Sisters would like to be Presidents of his Fan Club. "
-The Kitchen Sisters, Peabody Award-winning producers for NPR
"We think what he’s doing is inspiring. It has a kind of rhythm and musicality that you don’t normally find in radio or podcast storytelling."
-Jad Abumrad, Radiolab
"I love the show. It's wonderful. [It] actually reminded me of why I love radio."
-Jonathan Goldstein, CBC's WireTap
