Here are some podcasts which also discuss getting into geeky careers or are useful learning resources – or both. Note: These links are going to be mostly abandoned. Try your luck on the Way Back Machine or even just contact us cos we probably have a fair few of these podcasts backed up on some hard drives.Video Games
– The ReAnimators: The format of the show varies and it’s all great, but most useful are their breaking in podcasts where they talk with numerous people about their pathway into the video games industry.
– The Official Harmonix Rock Band podcast: As well as talking about Rock Band and music, recently they’ve also been doing interviews with Harmonix staff talking about how they got into their jobs.
Music And Audio Engineering
– The Home Recording Show: Incredibly thorough and useful show in which three experts discuss, show and analyse different audio techniques.
Animation
– The Animation Podcast: Useful both for hearing and learning from animation masters as well as hearing their breaking in stories.
– Spline Doctors: Interviews by Pixar staff with Pixar staff. (Plus a Richard Williams interview!) Great for the breaking in stories and discussions on animation methods.
– Toon In! …to the World of Animation: Interviews with people from across the animation industry of the past few decades. It’s steeped in both history and tales of career progression.
– Speaking of Animation: Discussions of animation method and theory from DreamWorks animators.
