I really enjoyed the Selina Alko episode, I would love to hear more women illustrators (not just art directors/agents)
A great podcast for me as a newbie to gain some understanding into the industry, and get tips on how to navigate it while remaining sane.
Just wanted to say thank you. This is a great podcast; Giuseppe treats his guests with respect and allows them to share their wisdom with real honesty. He may like the Oriels a bit more than any person should but I can’t hold that against them, plus their logo is one of the greatest ever. I enjoy your cast keep up the good work.
One of my go-to creative podcasts!! I love how real this podcast is - it’s packed with value and super relevant information in a relaxed, conversational format. Always engaging topics, the perfect amount of humour and light-heartedness while also asking the hard questions and challenging thoughts as well. I always go away feeling inspired, entertained and optimistic. I feel incredibly lucky to be a fly on the wall in these conversations, how lucky we are to have Giuseppe.
Giuseppe! A huge thank ... more
I sit working on illustrations listening to Guiseppe talking to so many people. I am binge listening. He is such a good I feel better working towards my goals as an illustrator.
