    Interviewee name
    I enjoy listening to your podcasts. Just a small note, would be nice to see names of people who you interviewed.
  • Jessuccess
    Loving this content
    I’m pretty new to UX but I’ve been a designer for 20 years. I appreciate the topics that I’ve heard so far because it has made me even more interested in pursuing UX further. Thank you!!
  • Lillian Szugyi
    A great podcast for UX folks
    As a UX design student, this podcast has been so valuable for me to get a glimpse of common things, problems, and people that UX practitioners deal with in the real world. It's not something we can fully get from coursework, so I find it a great companion to all the other learning that I am doing. I think that Leigh covers topics that are especially helpful for new folks who may not know what is reasonable for a new designer to face; I almost feel like I have a remote mentor in my corner! Thank you, Leigh! Looking forward to more UX Cake. 🍰🍰🍰
  • cincylee
    Just awesome 👍
    Practical, entertaining, and great topics make UX Cake a must listen. Highly recommended.

    Thoughtful and relevant
    Leigh has designed a forum that is a great exchange of ideas with people who are doing solid and worthy work.
  • plzreadmethings
    Must listen for UX pros!
    How have I not discovered this podcast until now??? I was lucky enough that Leigh invited me to be interviewed for an episode but... the real value has been listening to all the *other* episodes with amazing, talented and inspiring UXers doing great work everywhere! If you’re in UX, or wanna be in UX, subscribe to this podcast immediately. You’ll be infinitely glad you did. 😊

    Keep the cake coming!
    UX Cake is my favorite design podcast. Leigh has a knack in taking complex topics and making them easy to digest (pun intended). I find the rhythm of this podcast soothing, as well, and it's my go-to for a hectic commute when I need to decompress and learn something new while I'm at it.

    Best UX Podcast
    I’ve been on a binge since discovering this podcast. Every single episode packs a ton of value and can be valuable to anyone not just those in UX. Even if you’re only interested in UX and how to apply it to your expertise, you’ll find value in this show. There’s a lot a lot of episodes that go outside the realm of UX and talk about other very important things in the tech industry. My favorite episode so far is the one with Don Norman. Highly recommend anyone listen to it! The best thing about this podcast is that it takes a deep dive into the topic at hand and little to no time is wasted on unrelated or small talk. It’s almost like listening to a live audible book.
  • Pele10!!
    Great UX podcast
    I enjoy the fact that you really focus on nuts and bolts issues regarding UX. I especially enjoyed the episode talking about how UX fits into the Agile process. Keep the slices coming!
  • SEA Chachi
    Great podcast for UX professionals
    A great podcast if you are a UX designer. They talk about more of the soft skills to develop to work better with your team, management, clients. Really relevant.
  • SVC Seattle
    What a great resource for UX'ers
    It's pretty remarkable in a field as specialized as user experience that there's a podcast that lets you hear from all the leading lights in the industry. That's one reason I recommend all the students in SVC's UX Certificate Program become subscribers. It's a great resource!
  • UX_ENG
    The hidden world of Ux
    As a designer in the developing phase of my career, this podcast is an excellent source of information and insight. Rather than dissect design as an outcome this podcast discusses skills professionals use to guide and influence the process — not much else like this on the market to eat it up.
