Podcast recommendation request?

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 don’t understand them myself. i just enjoy the banter

Whitney Simms

This one isn’t a podcast, but a YouTube channel. It’s “struthless” . 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 “quit your day job and follow your passion.” He really dissects that phrase and how it is much more complicated than it sounds. But it’s great. The one on imposter syndrome is applicable to so many areas of life. I even shared it with some girl’s on a church visit. Unfortunately, he cusses a little so I had to paraphrase vs show the video.

Anyways. I like him. He’s 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 motivational

Podcasts (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 ‘Comic Lab’ a try. It’s 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.

Katie Kordesh

Just binged every episode of book friends forever by alvina Ling (editor at little brown) and grace lin (Caldecott honor winner)

I think you’d really enjoy it because it’s less for people trying to break in/ giving tips and more about what’s going on in the industry. Lots of insight that I’ve never heard before on other podcasts!

Anna Lindsay

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.

Kristin Dudish

@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.

Great 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...

Whitney Simms

@Kristin-Dudish he’s the best. I’ll 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.

Frost Drive

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

This thread is amazing.
I can't think of any other recomendations except the artcurious podcast which is a podcast about art history that I personally really enjoyed. (the only downside is that there are about 2 ads every episode that clash with the general atmosphere of the episodes).

Despite only having one suggestion, I definitely was able to update my own reading/listening list with all your amazing suggestions. Thanks everyone!

@xin-li Another podcast suggestion here. I thought i'd recommend a podcast I did the sound design and sound recording on - The Lamps Go Out by Ethan Gutmann. It's about EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse Effect). I got to travel around America recording Military generals, ex-CIA, Nuclear Silo Minute Men and preppers. Then when we got back me and my mate Rex Domino made the music and soundtrack for it using the sound recordings I collected on the tour. A deep dive into a secret world.
EMP. Something all digital artists need to be aware of...

@Jade-Yaert said thank you so much. I will check out artcurious podcast. I love art history.
I really enjoy 99% invisible at this moment, someone recommended this earlier on this thread :-).

@KaraDaniel I am shaping up my portfolio at this moment, sounds like a podcast that I have to check it out.

@sigross hehe... I have no idea what you are talking about, but it sounds like you worked on a really cool project. I will check out the podcast to feed my curiosity.
