The latest episode of The Crit is named for a very naughty chain of letters that generations of schoolchildren have taken delight in typing on their calculators (image: Barnyz).

Rejoice! The June 2021 episode of The Crit has arrived!

Disegno’s monthly design podcast is back, and sees show host Oli Stratford joined in conversation by the journal’s founder Johanna Agerman Ross as they run the rule over all the design news from the last month.

The show also features a long-form interview with Alan Maskin, principle of the international architecture practice Olson Kundig, speaking about his design for the newly opened ANOHA – The Children’s World of the Jewish Museum Berlin.

Alongside the interview, the episode sees the team discuss the opening of Charlotte Perriand: The Modern Life at London’s Design Museum; the 2021 Serpentine Pavilion by Counterspace; Jess Bezos’s trip to space and the insurance problems therein; the threat to Liverpool’s Unesco listing; the sting operation conducted through the Anom encrypted platform; and new products from Axor and Arper.
