“Layouts are sexy but, you know, words still matter.”
In this solo rant-style episode of Podcast Awesome, Matt takes a silly, unhinged dive into the world of Lorem Ipsum — the gibberish placeholder text that’s haunted designers and writers alike since the 1500s. From Cicero’s scrambled Latin to zombie-themed mockups, we trace the wild history and the weird world of filler text.
So ... why do we still treat real content as an afterthought? And what happens when a layout only works with nonsense words?
You’ll laugh. You’ll cringe. You’ll maybe rethink that next wireframe.
