    Fabulous from start to finish
    I am a huge fan of the Chairish site and podcast. The host of the podcast - Michael Boodro - is knowledgeable, charming, well-connected and fun! Some of my favorite episodes have been with Rita Konig (“tables, lamps and chairs”), how to get a book published and the 10-year anniversary of Million Dollar Decorators. Thank you!

    Love this podcast!
    I look forward to listening to your podcast. I learn so much from each one. I’m a design enthusiast that is redoing a home one room at a time. I love listening while doing a project. Alex P. was inspiring. Now a huge fan. He is sounded so relatable and caring. I really appreciate the genuine, authentic interview style of Michael Boodro. Please keep the episodes coming.

    So Interesting!
    This podcast is so interesting if you love interior design. I don’t listen to the ones that are more about the business, because I am just a homeowner, but the ones about aesthetics and sustainability are really great. I have added a lot of the designers interviewed to my Instagram feed so I can get ideas from their beautiful work.

    Do you love design?
    Michael Boodro is a knowledgeable host with an engaging personality. His guests come from a variety of backgrounds so the show is always fresh. I’m not a designer, but was just someone interested in learning something new. My favorite episode is No.38 with Bunny Williams.

    Phenomenal resource
    The Chairish podcast is hosted by Michael Boodro and is a must for anyone even remotely connected to the design industry. Michael’s wit, incisive questions, and ability to guide the conversation to the topic at hand is a treat. His guests are well-rounded and bring a variety of perspectives to the table. I always come away from the conversations with new gems to consider. Looking forward to many more!

    Great podcast!
    I love this podcast and I love Chairish!!! I was SOOOO happy to hear this last podcast on sustainability, it is an incredibly important topic and why I’m sourcing my new home all second hand and vintage. Great conversation.
  • Heather Bo
    Wonderful Podcast!
    Great insight into the world of design, with entertaining and knowledgeable guests!
  • WMWMWMWMxoxoxoxox
    Got political & elitist
    Was enjoying this podcast until the recent episode where they said Texans weren’t sophisticated and then said our state was passing laws that discouraged diversity. That’s simply not true on both counts. They should get their facts straight and stay in their lane.
  • chelcy_is_here_to_make_frendz
    Charming, sophisticated and practical
    I don’t know how a podcast can do all three in one, but leave it to Michael Boodro! I’m not a designer but rather someone who loves interiors and design and is trying to sidestep my way into this world. The business/industry topics are current and easy to understand. Michael talks to the most fascinating people - from the punk rocker to the symphony orchestra member - ends of the design spectrum. He is such a great interviewer. Funny & intimate, Michael is able to bring up challenging topics (such as diversity in recruiting and hiding) in such an open but kind manner (“this is not an accusation- listen - we can ALL do better”). It feels like having coffee with your most interesting friends. Bravo Chairish and Michael! 👏
  • bitterswtmocha
    Self-involved and out of touch
    Some of the episodes were OK to have on in the background (read: inoffensive enough as background noise) but today the most recent episode just became too much when the designer guests began lamenting that they didn’t get free reign by clients to do whatever they pleased, and that this must be due to the “sad” fact that designers are not “respected like doctors and attorneys.” This is a classist, out of touch, self-involved waste of time.
  • BarnabyMom
    Love this podcast
    Wonderful, informative and entertaining. Anyone interested in interior design, home and interiors should listen.

    Best Home Decor Podcast
    Love this podcast ... it’s become my favorite and go to podcast. I learn so much and also adore the Chairish site. More more more episodes, please!
  • indianpalealetrail
    Great, Informative and Interesting!
    First and foremost , I am a homemaker that enjoys just that ... making my home . Comfortable, calm , pleasant , functional, and pleasing are the things I strive for daily . I have somewhat of an art background yet, have never heard of most of the people being interviewed. I’m not in that tax bracket and am busy raising my family . The show is approachable , gives tips that can be applied to various forms of life , and is a great listen if you enjoy learning how successful people become that way and ways to approach your home and life . Big Fan ! And binge listening while spring cleaning and getting wonderful inspiration:)
  • luigikj
    So many reasons to love

    Top Notch Podcast: Dishy/On Trend/Factual/Fun
    Michael Boodro is the epitome of a gracious host because he makes his bracing most of every minute with all his guests; and he elevates each topic in a way that perches the listener as a fly on the wall in a really lively and especially productive private design meeting. Anna Brockway has built a brand that delivers more than just beautiful things. A memorable experience with equally lovely intangibles is part of Chairish that just can’t be easily replicated. And their Podcasts are a cornerstone of that specialness. I am a total believer. I even love the energetic whimsy of the Chairish Podcast theme music. My favorite way to listen is waking up super early and listening to a Chairish Podcast with a cup of coffee by the light of an antique lamp while the rest of the family still sleeps. A stylish beginning to any day. “What else do we have besides every day.” ~Joan Didion

    Inspiring & Informative
    A fabulous podcast. Excellent host and guests. True Industry experts. Topics are highly informative yet light hearted and jovial. Wonderful inspiring listens; on color choices, wall coverings, the rise of regional magazines and personal stories on client scenarios.

    Show Notes
    I loved the first show I listened to but if they don’t start adding show notes I might go crazy and then won’t be able to listen anyhow. Please, can you add notes? All the paint colors... . (Okay, not every single one, but some of those whites, the color the female designer has in her room, etc.) Thanks! Great show!
