379 - Shop Talk with Billy Baumann and James Flames
It's time to hang out with the dream team that made Adventures In Design what it is today. This Shop Talk embodies the unpredictable fun you've come to expect when Mark, Billy, and James get together and invite you in as the fourth co-worker in the conversation. Music. Movies. Mayhem. It's all in there and it's not at all serious despite the Godfather's best attempts to infuse any amount of design talk into the hang out episode of the century.
