Podcast Playlist (2) - Boagworld
July 21st, 2006
Finding podcasts that deal with social media, tech in general or the future of the net is easy enough. The challenge was to find a discussion of where the web is now and the practical day to day design for the web. A few searches eventually landed me on boagworld.com the weekly podcast by Paul Boag and Marcus Lillington of Headscape. I glanced through the shownotes of their past episodes to get a sense of what the show may be like, but the Ornery Boy image was proof enough for me that it would likely be entertaining. So I subscribed and downloaded a few episodes and was not disappointed.
Not only were the two hosts entertaining, but damn’d informative as well. The first episode I listened to was dealing with briefs and proposals. Other episodes would cover topics ranging from accessibility to web stats to project management to Flash to Web standards. Sometimes I disagree with their take, but more often than not I find the discussion an affirmation and voicing of my own views on web design.
If you build websites, if you’re having a website built, if you are in any way, shape or form responsible for the upkeep of a website - Boagworld is a must listen.
