Episode 038: A Tale of Two Countries
Thu 23 Oct 2008 – 22.49
In this long-overdue episode, Scott chats with London, Ontario-based graphic designer John Leschinski about the design industry on both sides of the border. Unfortunately, it does break into some complaining, but the themes are worth contemplating.
With guest appearances from Firefighter Chick and Dustin “Arcatacat,” there’s plenty of career talk from disgruntled twentysomethings to go around.
Recorded way back in April 2008, so apologies for the long delay. Although somehow the timeliness seems to fit with current events. Maybe I’m just ahead of my time.
