  • So Disappointed

    I was an avid listener of the ImDesign Secrets podcast for a little over a year or so, but since the switch to the CreativePro Podcast format, I have been extremely disappointed in both the content and also the presenter/moderator for the podcast. No offense, but I feel it is just very uninteresting to listen to and often the topics/discussion sound very unrehearsed, and as if the moderator is just winging. Which I believe contributes to unprofessional tone for the whole podcast. Bring back Davi... more

  • So much fun… and full of interesting InDesign tips!

    David and Anne-Marie know more about InDesign than anyone I can think of, and when you put them together in the same room the resulting conversation is a gold mine. They have a great chemistry and easy rapport that’s just pleasant to listen to (and often laugh out loud funny). I listen to it every month and you never know what new piece of info you’re going to learn. David

  • Great podcast!

    The hosts know this stuff better than anyone, but don't come across as haughty. They cover new developments and plug ins to the nines. If you use In Design it's a great resource, I use the back catalog and never miss an episode. More please!
