The art of noise...

Welcome to the kbbreview Podcast, this is episode 12 of season 4 and your host as always is Andy Davies.

This week we’re talking about noise - more precisely the noise that all the stuff in your house, and of course your client’s houses, make. Beeping dishwashers, spinning washing machines, humming fridges, flushing toilets, boilers firing up, extractors… extracting.

The background noise of our homes has never been more apparent than when we were forced to live AND work there and there is a lot of evidence to suggest that it directly affects our health and wellbeing.

If you are a designer or retailer do you ever discuss noise with your clients? Do you ever truly consider the acoustics of a room in your project designs when it comes to specifying products. It’s such an interesting untapped area for design so we’re meeting Poppy Szkiler, who is the founder of Quiet Mark, the organisation that certifies the quietness of products. 

About the kbbreview Podcast from Taylist Media.

In March 2020, when it became clear that the coronavirus had the potential to severely affect the fortunes of the kbb sector, they launched The kbbreview Podcast.

The initial aim of the show was to talk directly to leading retailers and suppliers about how they were managing the situation, evaluating the market, and predicting the future during a bizarre and unprecedented crisis.

They knew that a podcast was the perfect medium for a time when people needed reassurance that they weren’t alone in their dilemmas, they could hear the real voices of their peers and that provided great comfort at a really uncertain time.

Since then, The kbbreview Podcast has grown with a life and personality of its own, what started as a direct response to a crisis has become a fountain of stories, advice, reassurance and inspiration that covers the whole market, not just the response to the virus.
