It’s the first anniversary of the second edition of Interviewing Users, and it’s now available as an audiobook. Listen to this episode for a sample.
A podcast where we talk with the people who lead user research in their organizations, hosted by Steve Portigal.
I’ve been listening to your podcast since I started doing UX Research two years ago, and it’s been hands down the best resource for me. It’s provided inspiration and best practices and helps me feel plugged into the broader research community. Thank you so so much. You’re a gem and an incredible asset to the global research community.
Stephen Rothermel, UX Researcher, Zoho Corporation
These interviews are well worth the time for anyone interested in: (a) the craft of UX or design research, (b) the growth and development of research groups or professions within an organization, and (c) the culture of research within an organization. As a master ethnographic interviewer, Steve Portigal lets his interviewees steer the conversation into the most fruitful and engaging areas for them to talk about. The result is a fascinating tour through quite diverse organizations and ways of organizing research.
Dan Perkel, Design Lead, IDEO
This might just be THE most important podcast! This podcast and the work Steve Portigal is doing is pushing our industry forward! I’m a HUGE fan – and I’m personally grateful for his investment in the research community
Ellie Kemery, Head of UX Research, SAP Concur
A must listen for any UX researcher. Steve really knows how to interview people – he always has the right follow-up question. The podcast is great for the content and for observing interviewing style. As an agency person it’s great to hear what’s going on in enterprise UX research.
Dan Berlin, SVP, Experience Research, Mad*Pow
Finally, a UX research-themed podcast! Not only do you get to hear fascinating stories about how research is being integrated into these companies, but you get to hear the master interviewer himself, Steve Portigal, in action!
Sara Cambridge, Senior User Experience Researcher, Google
Dollars to Donuts is quickly becoming my favorite UX podcast. Fantastic perspectives on doing great user research.
Genevieve Conti, Content Strategist/Information Architect, University of Missouri
Excellent resource for UX researchers! As a former academic researcher who has just transitioned to UX research, Dollars to Donuts is an incredibly valuable find! I can’t imagine a better way to learn about how UX research is done than by talking to the people who head up research in some of the most innovative companies out there. There are lots of courses and articles out there on UX research, but Steve’s interviews with practitioners give a much-needed focus to how companies are solving real-life problems and taking advantage of the opportunities made possible with high quality research. I eagerly wait for each new episode!
