yikes - april came and went huh? i haven't finished just kids, so i guess my april book became my may book. my excuse is my discovery of the podcast design matters with debbie millman. it's been around for ten years, which makes me wish i had an awareness of podcasts ten years ago when i was graduating high school. better late than never, i suppose. i've gobbled up as many as i've been able to squeeze into my commute over the past few days. in each episode, debbie interviews a creative and digs deep into their past to find how they reached the place they are in today. since it's been around for a decade, "today" is oftentimes 2007. but no matter, they are each inspiring and soothing and wonderful. here are my five favorites so far:
-jessica walsh + timothy goodman (on their online diary of dating for forty days as a social experiment)
-isaac mizrahi (on life. that man is my hero. i met him in real life once and i had a really difficult time playing it cool. i was helping him at work, and after he left, i asked another client who was nearby if i seemed normal, and he said, "well, you were a lot nicer to him than you are to me." eep.)
-elle luna (on her book the crossroads of should and must: find and follow your passion. life changing!)
-julia turshen (on her culinary yellow brick road. i knew of her before as the wife of grace bonney - i had goosebumps when she spoke about the food served at their wedding. and tummy rumblings.)
-liz danzico (you just need to listen to it. the last ten minutes are brilliant.)
