I don't really watch a lot of TV or movies. I can't tell you which contestants are left on the X-Factor or what happened to Snookie last night. However, I do enjoy listening to podcasts that I download. This may make me the most boring person that you know (or don't want to know). Eh, what can I say?
I like to listen to design and illustration related podcasts, especially when I'm...designing or illustrating. It's a nice change of pace from listening to the same old songs or when there's not a ball game on to listen to. Some of the podcasts I enjoy are:
Ninja Mountain Scrolls. A group of artists talking about the field of illustration. They give out the occasional critique, too.
36 Point - The Reflex Blue Show. An informative and insightful podcast on the graphic design industry. I find this program educational and a good listen, although one of the hosts has a bit of a sailor mouth.
InDesignSecrets. Lots of tips and techniques relating to everything InDesign.
The Illustration Underground. A couple of professional freelance illustrators sharing their experiences and advice.
These are a few of the podcasts that I am familiar with (all free by the way). Give them a try; you may find them interesting and worth a download or too. But hey, if people start calling you boring, don't blame me...
