Rookie Designer was my very first so it has a special place in my heart. When I started listening to it I was fresh out of college and still looking to learn and grow as a designer. It was the perfect fit for me at the time and it ended up being a great resource for me. It is directed at new/young designers or designers looking to be recharged.

A great podcasts for type enthusiasts. It is relatively new to my library of podcasts, so its been great fun going back and listening to their archive. Typeradio consists solely of interviews of some of the more well known type designers and typographers from all over the world. Each interview gives a brief look into the way that the designer works and lives. I especially love their first 30 questions and hearing the different answers.

CreativeXpert is chock-full of design and web interviews and opinions but they are not your ordinary interviews. Alan Houser and Eric E. Anderson put a spin on each interviews that let their personality and the personality of the person they are interviewing shine through.

The title is a bit deceiving, if you think you are going to get 30 minutes of great insight to how to play fantasy baseball and the updates on the best players you’ll be disappointed. Matthew Berry and Nate Ravitz give some good advice but mostly rant on about their personal lives, the ESPN softball team and bash Podvader (their producer). Listening to this podcast was good enough to get me 5th place in a 10 team league.

The best for last. The Bugle is a newscast presented by comedians John Oliver (from the Daily show) and Andy Zaltzman. The weekly podcast is about half real events and news and half compete bullshit or close to it. They actively make fun of politicians, entertainers, sports stars and the mainstream media. This podcast will have me bursting out laughing for all of its 45 minuets. Its particularly for those of you that love penis jokes, hotties from history and audio cryptic crosswords. This is defiantly one to subscribe to if you enjoy fun.
