Follow up:

• Sam Mason asked if we will ever see Apple introducing custom icon packs. Probably not!
• Priscilla Then asked if we would record the show on video. Probably not, but it's an interesting idea we could maybe do as a one-off someday!

Main topic:

This week we answered a listener question sent to us in the direct messages: Should designers perform UI reviews after dev implementation, or should QA be responsible for that?
