Customer Reviews
Absolutely enjoyable!
The perfect podcast about illustration to listen to while I... well, illustrate. Let’s face it freelancing is lonely and listening to all these people who have achieved and aspire to so much is inspiring! Swarnavo is also a great host, not like some others who prefer to hear their own voices :)
Finally a podcast about Indian illustrators!
I’m glad that Swarnavo started this podcast. Now we can finally learn about journeys of different Indian artists:) I have listened to all the episodes so far and have loved them all. It is always inspiring to listen to artist interviews. There is always something to learn from everyone and knowing about their struggles and little/big wins is wonderful:)
