Episode description
📜 Back to the history books: news of an emoji set that came out TWO YEARS before the well known "1999" Japanese emoji origin. Why Apple's emoji people didn't originally have hands, the "clompy mule", and can we have the stitched leather notes and calendar app back? With special guest former Apple emoji designer (and now design director at Yap Studios) Ollie Wagner.
