Podcasts

I don’t normally listen to many (if any) podcasts. I can hardly find time to watch television and movies, and with such a short commute to work I’m barely able to hear an entire song before I’m at my desk. When developing I prefer music, as it helps me tune out distractions.

The Big Web Show

However, a few weeks ago my friend Dave highly recommended I check out The Big Web Show podcast, hosted by Dan Benjamin and Jeffrey Zeldman. Each episode features a special guest who is somehow related to an area of the web, (development, typography, art direction, publishing, etc).

To be honest, what first drew me in was the fact that Jeffrey Zeldman co-hosts it. I mean, he’s one of the fathers of front-end web development, so of course I’m going to check it out. And I have to say, I really like this podcast. I like that it’s not entirely geared towards front-end (although the show has its fair share of famous front-end guests), as my interest in the web extends to many areas – typography, graphics, user experience and interface design, optimization, etc. I may not be good at all of these areas, but I find all of them interesting.

Watch now

I haven’t had a chance to watch all of the back episodes yet, but I’d like to eventually. Be sure to check at least one episode out!
