This is just a brief post to let jeffcroft.com RSS readers know about something you may have missed: I’ve started a podcast, of sorts. Not so much a “show,” these are simple audio conversations between myself and other web designers and developers.
Last week, I participated in a “callcast” on Kevin Fricovsky’s blog, How I Work Daily. A callcast, as Kevin calls them, is a relatively short, laid back, “call,” (performed over Skype) between him and someone else in the web industry that he records and posts. I really enjoyed doing it — Kevin was a great host and had great questions. For a long time, I’ve thought hosting a podcast could be fun, but I was unwilling to make the time commitment required to put together a smooth, well-produced show like This Week in Django or Boagworld. Kevin’s simple idea got me excited enough that I flat out stole it (sorry, Kevin!).
The idea for these calls is to be interesting, conversational, and not particularly produced. You won’t hear cute jingles or perfect sound. Rather, I wanted to do this in a way that didn’t require a lot more of my time than simply having the conversation and posting it. I knew if I did something too slick, it would be too much work and I wouldn’t keep it up. I also really wanted to focus most of these conversations on people in our industry that I find interesting but that you may not already be familiar with. For the most part, I’m going to avoid chatting with the really big names in web design — you’ve already heard what they have to say.
I’ve posted two such “conversations” so far: one with Matt Brown and one with Nathan Borror. Both are terrific designers with interesting things to say, so if you’re a podcast fan, please subscribe to the feed and give ‘em a listen. If you’re not ready for that kind of commitment, you can listen via an embedded Flash player at jeffcroft.com.
These podcasts won’t show up in the regular jeffcroft.com, so be sure and subscribe to the podcast feed if you’re interested! Enjoy!
