108 - Keeping that 2x energy

While Lara is deep into producing our tenth season which will be a deep dive into the business of illustration, we’re going back to our beloved Open Tabs format for our ninth season.

Loosely based on our popular event series with the same name, for the rest of our ninth season, Lara and myself will be coming together each week and going through some of our own open browser tabs, providing an insight into the creative industry from our unique points of view, as well as the google search results that offer an uncomfortably intimate portrait of our inner lives. Or at least mine.

Using the internet as our lens, we hope to explore a variety of current events, opinions, and tools to provide thought-provoking conversation for anyone whose job it is to bring creative things to life, but mostly it’s a chance for us to talk a lot of claptrap.

Remember! We are now an ENHANCED podcast. That's right - If you listen to our podcast in Overcast or Pocket Casts, or Castro, you can get super special images, links, and chapter breaks in your player while you listen.
