It took us a little while to discover the joy of podcasts, but now that we have, we’re hooked! Ideas, information and interviews, brought to us at our own desk (or, as it may be, kitchen table) at any time of the day, while we sip a cup of hot tea? YES PLEASE!
There’s a wealth of inspiration available, not to mention advice and coaching, and the brilliant thing about podcasts is that you can access them anywhere, anytime. Listen whilst you’re walking the dog, or stacking the dishwasher, on your commute or in bed at night. However you want to fit them into your life, these tailor-made radio-style shows have so much to communicate to you. Here’s our pick of four fantastic podcasts for creatives…

The Ctrl Alt Delete Podcast by Emma Gannon
Blogger and author Emma Gannon (AKA Girl Lost in the City) hosts this podcast, on which you will find conversations with interesting guests who all have very unique stories to tell. At the heart of the conversation is how the Internet and social media have changed our lives and the lessons we’ve learned along the way (this is the focus of Emma’s book, also called ‘Ctrl Alt Delete’).

Hosted by Guy Raz, The TED Radio Hour is based on the brilliant TED talks and is a journey through fascinating ideas: astonishing inventions, fresh approaches to old problems, new ways to think and create. Based on talks given by speakers on the TED stage, each show is centered on a common theme – such as the source of happiness, crowd-sourcing innovation, power shifts, or inexplicable connections.
