The Deeply Graphic Designcast - DGDC

Nick Longo and Mikelle Morrison have been putting out the Deeply Graphic Designcast for over 14 years, which puts them in rare company among design podcasts. With 210 episodes and counting, this biweekly show has covered an enormous range of graphic design territory, from logo rebrands for major brands like Cracker Barrel and Pizza Hut to practical web design discussions, career advice, and brand transformation case studies. The dynamic between Longo and Morrison is the engine of the show. They bring genuine enthusiasm and a willingness to share bold opinions, which makes for lively listening even when the topic is something as potentially dry as a corporate rebrand. They've also built out additional content like "The Next Level with Tom Lauro," a series within the podcast that brings in another voice and perspective. Episodes tend to mix reaction and analysis. When a major brand unveils a new logo, you can count on the DGDC crew to break it down with the kind of specificity that only practicing designers can offer. They'll talk about kerning, color choices, and how a mark will work at different scales, the stuff that matters in the real world of graphic design. But they also zoom out to discuss broader industry trends, career challenges, and what it takes to sustain a creative practice over the long haul. The show has a community feel to it, like hanging out with design friends who happen to have strong opinions and the experience to back them up. If you work in graphic design and branding, the DGDC is worth adding to your regular rotation.
