For years, Avery Trufelman was part of 99% Invisible, a wildly popular show on design that’s been around forever. She helped Roman Mars tell stories about how the world gets built and where ideas come from. There, Avery created a series that blew everyone away: Articles of Interest, a podcast about the history of what we wear and what we say with the clothes that cover our bodies.
Now, let’s embrace the things that are invisible because of their everydayness and celebrate new beginnings — a new, independent season of Articles of Interest and the launch of the Memberful Design podcast. What can we learn about telling a good story and crafting the future, from someone who has radio in her blood and design on her mind?

To be a true nerd of design there’s one podcast to rule them all: 99% Invisible. A wildly popular show on design that's been around forever, at least in internet terms. Since 2010, its creator Roman Mars has been telling stories about all the thought that goes into everyday objects that most people don’t think about.
Avery created two seasons of the Nice Try! podcast: an artful show about big dreams that didn’t go as planned, designs that went nowhere, and products that made, kept and broke promises of self-improvement.
Can you imagine a utopian society where we wouldn’t need any pockets to store our keys in? Listen to Avery’s ode to those uncalled-for pouches in our clothes in this episode of Articles of Interest.
