Awesome podcast for creatives and designers

I’ve been listening to this podcast for the last couple of days, and I’m hooked! I feel like I’m hanging out with a really cool gang, that knows a lot about their stuff, and that are also quite funny as a bonus!
Need to keep on listening to the other episodes, and hopefully I’ll be up to date when season 2 drops!
Great work guys!
