From Eyes to Ears
I never hopped on the podcast bandwagon when they first became big on the web. I was a little skeptical to think that I would actually be interested in listening to someone talk about a particular subject. So for the first time a couple weeks ago, I dug into the iTunes library to see if I could find something of interest and I stumbled across some pretty good ones.
The first and most useful one I found was a podcast from Boagworld. It only took one listen of this podcast for me to get hooked. I’m not exactly sure which podcast I listened to first, but once I heard it, I listened to basically all of the ones in the past to get myself up to date. One of the things I like about this particular one is that the guys are very enjoyable to listen to. They laugh and joke, yet get down to business when it’s time to get on topic. But this podcast is basically about everything involving design, from actual practices, to the business aspect of it. I would highly recommend it.
Another which I stumbled across the other day was The Marketer’s Podcast. I only got the chance to listen to one, but it was enough to grab my attention and add them to the bundle of feeds. I have been looking for a source to find information on marketing online and one of their posts was quite packed with useful information. I did not have that formal training for marketing, so I have to learn on my own by finding relevant information that can help me, which is where this podcast comes in handy. I still have some catching up to do with their past recordings, but I most certainly am not done picking up the information that they are offering.
So now that I’ve removed the skepticism of how I would like podcasts, I am alot more open minded in searching for others that could prove to be beneficial. So if you have any recommendations for podcasts related to marketing, business, or design, I am all ears!
