  • Big thanks to Sean

    I discovered this podcast shortly after moving to Portland to pursue design postgrad. It has been such an important way for me to get to know the design community here and relieve some of the inevitable stress of starting out my career at a design agency. Thank you Sean! (Also, I’d like to request some episodes with SoCal creatives if you want to expand your scope)

  • Sean is the Cat’s Meow!

    I had Sean for a teacher at PSU, and in this podcast his amazing personality, sense of humor, and design insights shine! I just found the podcast…ugh I’m a bit late! Hahaha. How did I miss this for so long?!? The first episode I listened to was the one with Jason Sturgill. OMG, I can just imagine the scene out in podunk Pullman in the snow, and wow! I had forgotten all about those flying toasters! Good times. Heh. I look forward to listening to more. 10 million stars!

  • Listening feels like hanging out with friends

    This podcast may be about graphic design and the mistakes you make along the way to becoming a graphic designer, but the topics covered in those hilarious tangents make me laugh (and smile) so hard. Listening feels like hanging out with friends, and makes me want to go through my portfolios of the past. Hearing the guests is like meeting new friends and their stories and work make me want to dive into new projects. Solid podcast, casual listen.
