• The Yzzi Research Podcast Series Finale
    Apr 29 2024

    Thanks for supporting The Yzzi Research Podcast! Season four was the final season of the podcast and I hope that you enjoyed listening.

    This podcast was produced by my production company, Whisper and Mutter. I am also producing and releasing another podcast unrelated to UX research, but you may like it if you’re interested in reading, thinking, the human experience, and fresh perspectives on a book you’ve likely heard of.

    Stay subscribed to The Yzzi Research Podcast and I’ll share the trailer for this upcoming podcast. It’ll be a while, think like one or two years, but you’ll hear it first.

    Thank you again for all your support, messages, reviews, and feedback over the past few years. I appreciate you!
