Two mates, Tim Ross - comedian, broadcaster, and self-described design nerd - and Kevin McCloud - pundit, writer and celebrated host of Grand Designs - have teamed up for a new podcast: Tim and Kev’s Big Design Adventure.
In this audio escapade, the architectural enthusiasts embark on a rollicking (and occasionally shambolic) journey, sharing their love of design by visiting buildings that inspire them, meeting the people who create or inhabit them, and diving deep into the places that shape and spark their imaginations.

Big Design Adventure - Special Cassette Episode - Out Now
It's beautifully analogue, slightly ridiculous, and available exclusively on cassette.
In a world of streaming platforms, algorithms and infinite playlists, design pals Tim Ross and Kevin McCloud have decided to release a special bonus episode of their podcast, Tim and Kev's Big Design Adventure, exclusively on cassette tape.
Evoking the spirit of making mixtapes, winding a cassette reel with a pencil and taping songs off the radio, this is the analogue release we've all potentially been craving.
