I Love Podcasts!

I feel like I have been sleeping under a rock. Recently I have discovered the wonders of podcasts.

My friend and former client Costa's World, an Urban talk radio show runs a podcast. It's an extremely hilarious and insightful. If you haven't heard it yet, please do. I thought all podcasts were basically digital radio shows, similar to the FM and AM radio shows. Boy was I wrong!

When I picked up the UK magazine Practical Web Design, there was an advertisement for their podcast. Searching for the podcast, I stumbled on great art, design, and business shows and videos.

While I am working I listen and watch a couple of podcasts. I have learned valuable lessons from being a successful artist to amazing Photoshop tips and keeping up with the times in Web Design. Here is the line up I subscribe to:
