First episode of (the long-awaited) second season of Steve Leard's excellent book cover design podcast Cover Meeting is a conversation with Irish freelance designer Jack Smyth in which he discusses his work, the industry, building community, how he really feels about cover quotes, and more. I'm a big fan of Jack's work and it has regularly featured here over the years.

I recently came across this short PBS Artbound documentary from 2021 on artist, educator, and social justice advocate Corita Kent (1918-1986), which is well worth 20 minutes of your time. I don't remember when I first came across Sister Corita's work. It was probably not until I moved to Canada and became more interested in design and applying typography and lettering to art.
