On September 15th Apple released iOS 26 – featuring a controversial all-new design language that they’re calling “Liquid Glass”. Drawing inspiration from transparency, magnification and reflection of actual glass, Apple is trying a new twist at “skeuomorphism” – a classic design practice that incorporates real-world visual elements and textures into digital interfaces.
Raj and Ben take you on a journey through the evolution of smart phone interface design and explore the implications of this radical new design language by such an industry leader.
What does Liquid Glass mean for brands?
Will other companies need to adopt this new design aesthetic?
How does Google’s new “Material 3 Expressive” design language compare to Apple’s update?
Is Liquid Glass actually good design?
And perhaps more importantly, is Liquid Glass good for us?
Have you updated to iOS 26? What do you think of Apple’s new design?

The Death of the Follower? | Growing a Fruitful Brand Podcast | Episode 59
Why does it seem so hard to build a social media following for my business? And why do I feel like I need one so much?
At SXSW 2024, Jack Conte (founder of Patreon and the band Pomplamoose) gave a provocative talk called “The Death of the Follower & the Future of Creativity on the Web”. In his talk, Jack chronicles the history of social media, the magic of the “subscribe” button – and why everything suddenly feels different on social media now. His insights inspired this episode.
Join Raj and Ben as they…
Dismantle the myth of building a social media following,
Reveal the truth about what you should be focusing on as a business
Show how you can start to build a real community that actually drives sales!
They also get into the rise of subscription platforms like Patreon and Substack – that enable “Super Fans” to support creators, in trade for exclusive content and community.
