20 Design Related Audio And Video Podcast Sites
Dainis Graveris
It’s very important to keep up with forever-changing design community – this profession requires regular learning, if You don’t want to fall back. Audio and video podcasts both are popular at the latest time because of iPods and other media audio and video players. Video podcasts is great way to easily learn new skills and communicate with reader with visually appealing presentation and audio. Audio podcasts are very useful, because You can for example go somewhere, training, but do both things in the same time. I listen podcasts for example while training, running or just moving from point A to point B.
I am amazed how many great and professional podcasts are out there so I am presenting to You 20 useful audio and video podcasts.

It’s mostly a commentary on the life of a freelancer, and a horribly lop-side disdain for the corporate world and it’s micro management.

Posted 1165 days ago 10@Frank actually interesting idea about article, I’ll research if there are enough good sites to actually write about..:) ..and when You got to the point I somehow missed Chris site when searching the most popular ones, but this is good – thanks for the link actually :)

Posted 1166 days ago 9You have given me stuff to listen to during the day, thank you. I am surprised and I am not suprised that Chris Coyier’s web site http://www.css-tricks.com hasn’t made the grade; he does amazing Video Screencasts on CSS and other web development which is brilliant!
Can you do a article on just Video Screencast web sites that have to do with web dev and design? =)

Posted 1183 days ago 3Hey – thanks for the link to 49sparks – just wanted to let you know that it is now my personal blog… so the focus isn’t just design anymore – although my reading is mainly focused on design. More specifically web design.
That said – all of the 140 (or so) videos are still available at 49sparks.com/podcast .
