My guests this week are Rodman Primack and Rudy Weissenberg, the couple behind design firm Ago Interiors and collectible design gallery Ago Projects. The business started with Primack, whose career has jumped between art and design, including stints working for Christie’s, Gagosian, and Peter Marino—not to mention his own AD100 firm. Weissenberg, whose background is in finance and TV, joined the business more recently. Together they do a little of everything, from high-profile design projects to collaborating with artists and artisans on bespoke pieces for their Mexico City gallery.   

On this episode of the podcast they speak with host Dennis Scully about the rise of collectible design, why online discourse about design is so frustrating, and why their work isn’t for everyone—and that’s just fine.

Alison Kenworthy and Michael Koenigs are the married couple behind YouTube sensation Homeworthy. Both came from the television world—she was a producer on Good Morning America, he worked as an executive producer creating shows for ABC, Disney and Hulu. But in 2019, Kenworthy left it all behind to launch Homeworthy, initially filming home tours on her own with an iPhone. After a slow start, it took off, and in seven short years the channel has amassed almost 800,000 subscribers and garners more than 100 million watch minutes on YouTube every month. The iPhone days are over: Now Homeworthy works with a network of 100-plus producers and videographers to capture the homes of designers, tastemakers and celebrities.

On this episode of the podcast, Kenworthy and Koenigs speak with host Dennis Scully about why Homeworthy got popular once its content got longer, the secrets of a good home tour, and why YouTube is the future of media.
