They\u2019ve taken on a growing role in the online landscape and created a shift in the way we consume our daily content. And while a lot of big companies have ventured into this popular medium, individuals continue to dominate it. And that\u2019s mainly because in podcasting, everything\u2019s allowed. Unfiltered discussions and fiesty arguments are just as common as scientific lectures, debates about the arts, and business tips.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]When it comes to design podcasts, the situation is no different. Which is why, like every other area of podcasting, the design niche can sometimes be difficult to navigate. With so many creatives starting new podcasts every day, it may be hard to find the one that best suits your unique tastes. Sometimes you need something to shake up your workflow or inspire you, but sometimes all you want is some simple entertainment.

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]One of Debbie\u2019s guests was Chip Kidd, a world-famous book cover designer, and <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/designmatters\/design-matters-with-debbie-137\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">that episode<\/a> is definitely worth your while. They discussed what a TED talk looks like from the perspective of the presenter (he presented in 2012). As you listen to Kidd speak, you\u2019re almost certain to feel a connection with him.
