Issue 2: Listening for inspiration
I don’t know about you but I LOVE listening to podcasts. Anything and everything, I listen in the gym, walking to work, in work ;) There is something so incredibly inspirational about someone telling their story. I find myself getting wrapped up in these peoples worlds wanting to know more. Then I get stuck in the inevitable rabbit hole of the internet, but i digress.
I take great pleasure in finding new podcasts and also recommending them to people. I wanted to share with you some of my favorite design podcasts that love to listen to.

This podcast is one of my favorite. It is produced and presented by Roman Mars. It covers everything design from interiors to city planning and even a whole episode dedicated to the sewage systems in cities ( which was really interesting) A great podcast if you want to be inspired by the everyday world around you.
