It’s very important to keep up with forever-changing design community – this profession requires regular learning, if You don’t want to fall back. Audio and video podcasts both are popular at the latest time because of iPods and other media audio and video players. Video podcasts is great way to easily learn new skills and communicate with reader with visually appealing presentation and audio. Audio podcasts are very useful, because You can for example go somewhere, training, but do both things in the same time. I listen podcasts for example while training, running or just moving from point A to point B.
I am amazed how many great and professional podcasts are out there so I am presenting to You 20 useful audio and video podcasts.
