Like Gardeners Question Time, but for geeks

Apologies in advance. I’m going to gush. Seriously.

Yes, seriously. In the Rissington Podcasts, John and Jon come together to record sessions harkening back to the halcyon days of BBC radio comedy. The podcasts are witty, amusing, brilliant and clever. All.

And the podcasts are not just for designers either. I mean, my hubby (a rock-hound) even spent last night listening and laughing along with me. He’s a tough audience (and also a brit). So yes, they are that funny (at times like two guys talking and not knowing us gals are listening in).

Who’s John? Well, seems like it’s been years since I stopped enjoying the wisdom according to John Oxton. Back then it was John at joshuaink, surrounded by dripping flowers and colourful copy. Times change. Life moves on. And these days I listen to John tweet his bits on twitter. Until the Rissington Podcasts that is.

But yeah(!). Now John’s hooked up with Jon Hicks of the beautiful logo. And how embarrassing [hanging head]. Unlike John with joshuaink, Hicks of the beautiful logo doesn’t have a feature at DWB. Oh dear. Apologies Jon. Your site is such a known, I was sure you were here already …

From John and Jon: Think of it as a web-geek version of Gardeners Question Time! We also have regular(ish) spots – jokes from an 1940′s RAF magazine, typeface of the ‘week’, and any geek/technology thing we care to talk about. We are your expert panellists, agony aunts and general life-gurus, so email us your questions!

Well, not sure about you, but I’m headed over for more of the Rissington Podcasts. Enjoy!

Chris and Uta Ritke

On the lookout for a video interview, Chris from 49Sparks contacted me via NO!SPEC. As I’m a bit of a shy control freak, I haven’t yet succumbed to podcast interviews.

But I did introduce Chris to the outgoing Robert Wurth.

Chris does a bang-up job on the 49Sparks podcasts so please keep your eyes, ears and hopefully RSS out for the interview.

From 49Sparks:
49SPARKS is a project collaboration community for creative professionals. We’re speaking with creative professionals about their work, projects, process, tools and inspiration.

Podcasts on 49Sparks:
Choices, choices … There’s a podcast interview of Penelope Dullaghan of Penelope Illustration and Illustration Friday. I’m always proud to announce Penelope’s Illustration Friday interviews on DWB.

For my second pick I’ll go with Courtney Pippin-Mathur. An illustrator, you can check out her bright, fresh colours at 5 Elephants Studio. She also has a notebook where she posts sketches along with comments.

The Illustrative Designer Podcast

The multi-talented Von has done it again! If my memory serves me, in the beginning there was ART BACKWASH, then came the Doodle Archive Project, and the now famousBAD DESIGN KILLS. After that we were gifted with Happy :-) Afro, followed by the Three Thumbs Up Award and illustrationclass.com. In looking around, I see Von has introduced a Vonster Art Prints shopping experience for VONaholics (I have my hand up on that one!). And now we have The Illustrative Designer Podcast. Fine, it’s all very fine.

About:
Fun, informative and inspiring discussions about illustration, design, creativity and everything in between. Retinal Dope – With every new podcast posted we’ll showcase a different illustrator or designers work.
