Description
Episode 37 of the Revision Path podcast. The episode begins with host Maurice Cherry thanking the show’s sponsors and describing the logistics of producing a free podcast. He also implores his listeners to donate to the show, stating that Revision Path is the only podcast that showcases black designers.
The interview segment begins with Cherry inviting his guest, Jon Daniel, to introduce himself. Daniel speaks with a British accent and gives a brief autobiography. Some of the topics they discuss include, Daniel’s career and his tenure at International Business Machines Corporation (IBM); design culture in the 1950s and 1960s, and the Sylvia Harris essay; Daniel’s inspiration for curating the Afro Supa Hero exhibition; Daniel’s West Indian heritage; how West Indian, British and African American diasporic influences inform Daniel’s work; similarities and differences between African American and black British customs and attitudes; the lack of black representation in business and commerce; Daniel’s five-year goals; Daniel’s family life; as well as advice he would give to burgeoning designers.
Toward the end of the interview, Maurice Cherry asks Daniel to mention where he can be found online; then, the men thank each other. In the outro, Cherry thanks the show’s sponsors again and advertises the show’s August newsletter.
