@DaveLeekArt
The illustrationDEPT podcast is my favourite podcast in 2020. I discovered some of the great artists I have never heard of from the podcast, such as James McMullan. some of the running themes the host Giuseppe kept talking with various guests are the question of style; what a long illustrator career looks like.I also enjoyed the pickturebooking podcast, as I often found an hour long chat with some of my favourite picture book makers in this podcast. You can go to the website, and type in your favourite picture book artists to see if the host has an interview with her/him.
And I listen to every episode of 3 point perspective. I guess everyone does in this forum

@xin-li this is non-art related but Iāve been watching a lot of DnD from OXventure lately. Theyāre fun to listen to.

If you have a screen open while you're listening Bobby Chiu (Bobby Chiu youtube channel) has been interviewing illustrators and creators on youtube for a few years now and they're all pretty great for the most part. I've exhausted 3 point perspective at this point (the fourth and final point?) and have been listening to Bobby quite a bit. It checks a lot of the boxes you listed in your initial post and as you glance over you see some incredible illustrations to boot!

@Jeremiahbrown hehe... I listened to Bobby ChiuĀ“s YouTube videos before I discovered SVSLearn. I have not visit his YouTube stream for a while as I put my focus to books and publishing for the last couple years. I might go back to revisit Bobby ChiuĀ“s YouTube stream as it is always good to look at a broader art and illustration scene for inspiration.
@Nyrryl-Cadiz thanks for the recommendation. I will probably not get the DnD reference
. A lot of my friends play the game, but I have never tired it myself. -
Lots of great suggestions. I'd like to add one for music: Strong Songs. The host is really good at making the processes behind music understandable to non-musicians (full disclaimer: I am a musician and my day job is teaching music history and I don't know if my opinion in this regard counts more or less because of it
). -
Draftsmen is absolutely brilliant, can't recommend it enough. They're on YouTube too.
-
@xin-li oh I donāt understand them myself.
i just enjoy the banter -
This one isnāt a podcast, but a YouTube channel. Itās āstruthlessā . And I kinda love him. His last two were great topics that I want to listen to mulitple times. One is on imposter syndrome and the other is āquit your day job and follow your passion.ā He really dissects that phrase and how it is much more complicated than it sounds. But itās great. The one on imposter syndrome is applicable to so many areas of life. I even shared it with some girlās on a church visit. Unfortunately, he cusses a little so I had to paraphrase vs show the video.
Anyways. I like him. Heās also an illustrator which we can all relate to.

@xin-li My favorite podcast is the Adam Buxton podcast. He ramble chats to a whole range of creative people.

I alternate podcasts with audiobooks for listening. And I listen to a variety of motivational/entrepreneur/art and creativity podcasts.
Favorites audiobooks are:
The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life by Twyla Tharp
Grit by Angela Duckworth
Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod
anything by Malcolm Gladwell I find fascinating and motivationalPodcasts (other than 3 Point Perspective) include:
The One Thing
Kick in the Creatives
Illustration Hour
How I Built This -
@sigross @charitymunoz @Whitney-Simms
Thank you so much for the recommendation.I love this thread, so many good podcasts list here. Currently I am listening 99% invisible. My favourite episode so far is episode 415: good night nobody. A strange tale about the book "good night moon", and a librarian who invented the concept of Children's department in the library, but was corrupted by power. It also kind of explained why there are so many whimsical kidlit illustrations.
-
You could give āComic Labā a try. Itās run by Brad Guigar and Dave Kellet and it focusses mostly on the nuts and bolts of making and running a webcomic, but also touches on the topic of writing/telling stories and how to moneytize (?) your creative content. They do interviews as well with other artists which I find very insightfull.
-
Just binged every episode of book friends forever by alvina Ling (editor at little brown) and grace lin (Caldecott honor winner)
I think youād really enjoy it because itās less for people trying to break in/ giving tips and more about whatās going on in the industry. Lots of insight that Iāve never heard before on other podcasts!
-
You're up to your eyeballs in podcast recommendations already but I thought I'd add one. Make It Then Tell Everybody by Dan Berry is great. He interviews illustrators and comic artists. I think Dan has a very calming voice and there are no ads so it's great to listen to while working and not get irritated or distracted by it.
-
@Whitney-Simms I love Struthless too! Lots of very relatable topics (the "video for every creative person ever" is brilliant)!
-
Thank you everyone for sharing your favourite podcasts. I almost always need something in the background for me to focus on painting.
I have bookmarked this thread so I can come back to this whenever I need to find something new to listen. I do not think I will run out of something to listen for a very long time.

How I Built ThisGreat stuff! I am going to check it all!
I like to listen to classes on Masterclass. They have a great content on creative writing. Unfortunately its not free... -
@Kristin-Dudish heās the best. Iāll go back and watch that one. I wish he was my neighbor. Then we could take about stuff at the mailbox and taking out the trash.
-
If you would like podcasts which are about groups of friends hanging out who all are creators as well. Then check out
The Pro Crastinators Podcast (group of friends, some are comic artists, game devs, youtubers)
and
CosmicCast! (group of friends, half are musicians and all are youtubers) -
Just found this. Haven't listened yet but remembered this thread and thought I'd share. https://www.portfoliocreative.com/podcast
