Podcasting on Graphic Design

Podcasting has become the next big thing in technology and its impact on Graphic Design has been no exception. Designorati writer Daniel Schutzsmith has assembled a list of some graphic design related podcasts for you to enjoy!

Podcasting is quickly becoming a mainstream medium for sharing information on the web. Its ease of use and intimate tone make it one of the quickest technologies to be adopted in recent years. I’ve attempted to collect a nice collection of graphic design related podcasts. What I am finding is that there do not seem to be many out there. I have not been able to deduce whether this low number is related to the medium being so new or if there just doesn’t seem to be many people interested in conducting there own podcast on a topic that is primarily visual in nature. I can’t believe that it is the later because the podcasts listed below prove that you do not always need a visual to discuss graphic design.

Design Matters with Debbie Milman
- Design Matters explores the state of the graphic design landscape in an ever changing business world through informative, yet provocative, interviews with industry pioneers. The podcast is inspiring due to Debbie Millan’s natural ability to compel her guests to shed their inhibitions and share their opinions without the fear of recourse. Currently the season is over for the show but when it picks back up you can hear the live stream every Friday from 3-4pm EST.
