MAKE IT BIG. NO BIGGER—Paula Scher is not really a “magazine person.”But if you ever needed evidence of the value of what we like to call “magazine thinking,” look no further than Pentagram, the world's most influential design firm. The studio boasts a roster of partners whose work is rooted in magazine design: Colin Forbes, David Hillman, Kit Hinrichs, Luke Hayman, DJ Stout, Abbott Miller, Matt Willey, and, yes, today's guest.Paula has been a Pentagram partner since 1991. She's an Art Director's Club Hall of Famer—and AIGA Medalist. She has shaped the visual landscape for iconic brands—Coca-Cola, Citibank, Tiffany, and Shake Shack—always with her instinctive understanding of how typography, design, and storytelling come together.In other words, she plays the same game we do.In 1993, Paula collaborated with Janet Froelich on a redesign of The New York Times Magazine and built a platform for pioneering editorial innovation that continues to this day. In 1995, she helped me break down Fast Company's editorial mission, in her own distinctively reductive way: “It's about the ideas, not the people,” she said. It was a game-changer.But Paula isn't just a design legend—she's also a complete badass.Starting out at a time when the industry was still predominantly male, Paula carved out space for herself by fighting for it. Her work at CBS and Atlantic Records redefined album cover design. Later, her rebranding for cultural institutions like The Public Theater and the Museum of Modern Art helped cement the importance of an unforgettable identity system for any organization.And, as a longtime educator at New York's School of Visual Arts, Paula has molded generations of designers who have gone on to shape the industry in their own ways—including our very own Debra Bishop.We spoke to Paula upon the launch of her new, 500-plus page monograph, Paula Scher: Works.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

In 1970, after serving in the U.S. Navy for 4 years during the Vietnam War, Gerald turned his knife-making hobby into a business.Gerald Willey's first knife-making shop was in a small room built onto his shed, but in 1975, the family built a new house with a basement designed to be a knife store and knife making/sharpening shop. After many long nights, hard work, and help from the family, Gerald's dream became one of the most successful independent mom-and-pop cutlery stores of its kind.Gerald and his wife Silvia passed away within a year of one another after 58 years of marriage. Though they are greatly missed, Willey Knives continues to grow under the ownership of son Matt, who runs the sharpening business, and Geri, who runs the store.Willey Knives throws knife-themed events at their idyllic location, including a "Hammer In" with forging demonstrations and events with knife world luminaries like CJ Buck of Buck Knives, in October 2024.In addition to the store, which sells over 40 top knife brands, Willey Knives offers knife sharpening services to the general public and a comprehensive knife rental program to restaurants across the region.Find Willey Knives online at www.willeyknives.com and on Instagram at www.instagram.com/willeysharp.Be sure to support The Knife Junkie and get in on the perks of being a patron, including early access to the podcast and exclusive bonus content.

31 July 2013 Prologue: Senior editor Matt Willey introduces this month's podcast on Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane, opened in 1869 on Seneca Lake, New York State. It's mission, to "Treat the chronically insane with gentleness and understanding". Nearly 50'000 patients lived at Willard during its 127 year history and roughly half died there. When it closed its doors in 1995, workers stumbled upon a discovery that shed an unknown light on the lives of Willard's patients... Karen Miller, a psychiatrist and poet who's spent the last several years researching the histories of Willard's former patients, talks to former employees Sally Dawley and Peg Ellsworth, who started working at Willard's in 1948. Miller explains how Willard, the first psychiatric hospital in New York, was home to more than 4'000 patients at one time during the 1920s and 30s, and the cultural attitude to mental illness at the time. We also meet photographer Jon Crispin has been tasked with documenting the suitcases of patients, found in the attic of the abandoned hospital by a member of its former staff. Each case contains the only personal belongings of its owner, brought in when committed, and kept after their death...

1 June 2013 Prologue: Senior editor Matt Willey introduces this week’s theme – dubbing in French cinema. Since the 1930s, France has remained one of several European countries that choose to dub foreign films with the voices of their own, French-speaking actors. It might get bad press here in the UK, but in France, dubbing is considered an art form… Part One: The French Bruce Willis. When the French see Bruce Willis onscreen, they hear Patrick Poivey. From Moonlighting to Die Hard, Patrick has dubbed the action hero for almost 30 years. He explains how his career as one of the most recognised voices in France grew from idle days spent in Paris… Part Two: Francoise Cadol is the French Angelina. As the voice of Lara Croft Francoise’s work voicing other actresses has attracted fame in its own right. With her own fan club, Francoise explains the phenomenon of having people turn around to ask for your autograph when ordering a coffee… Part Three:In Paris, where acting schools thrive, so too do dubbing schools. But do actors really need to learn how to double? And is dubbing having an adverse effect on the foreign-language skills of France’s primary and secondary school students?

10 April 2013 Prologue: Senior editor Matt Willey introduces the first Port podcast on the role of silence in films. Part One: Silence is a vital element within film, but one which we rarely give thought to. We hear from writer George Michelson Foy on how the noisy experience of modern living led him in search of the acoustic dream – absolute silence. Part Two: Acclaimed sound designer and editor Paul Davies explains how he conducts tension using near silence, room tone and drones rather than a traditional musical cue in his films, which include Steve McQueen's "Hunger" and Lynne Ramsey's "We Need To Talk About Kevin".
