My favourite creative podcasts

Creative podcasts are a great way to be productive while you have some down time during your day or you are doing an activity that doesn’t require you to stay super focused.

Also, if you are an illustrator or a creative, you probably know that it can be quite a lonely activity sometimes, so I found listening to podcasts a great way to feel part of a community.

Below you will find a list of my favourite creative podcasts with, about and for artists, illustrators, freelancers, business owners and side hustlers.

1. The Biz Bash Podcast

This is the first of the creative podcasts I ever started listening and one of my absolute favourites.
