Makers of Sport: Interview podcast at the intersection of sports + creativity

[tadammartin]

I've always been a reader of these boards and this site, but never really posted anything. That being said, I wanted to share a podcast I started called Makers of Sport. it is not just a sports branding podcast, but rather anything involved at the intersection of creativity and sports. This can include designers, art directors, writers, filmmakers, fashion (street, sneaker and uniform) designers, programmers, startup entrepreneurs and more. My most recent interviews include:

• Matt Hernandez of Matt Hernandez Photography. Matt is a designer and photographer that recently shot the McDonald's All-American game.
• Joe Bosack of Joe Bosack & Co. Joe joined me to discuss the current state of sports identity and gave a behind-the-scenes of his process and approach to sports branding.
• Jason Feirman, Mesh Advertising + Marketing: Jason spent 13 years as the director of publications for LSU. He discusses the rebranding of LSU in the early 2000s and an inside view of working at a prominent college athletic program.

Upcoming interviews:

• Todd Radom of Todd Radom Design. If you don't know who he is you probably are hanging at the wrong website.
• Steve Vollmer, Jr, Creative Designer at the NFL HQ.
• Jose Lopez, Creative Director of the Houston Rockets
• Hans Anderson, Senior Concept Developer at ESPN Emerging Technology.

Would love for y'all to give it a listen and if you like leave a review on iTunes. I'm new to podcasting so hopefully it gets better over time.

Somehow, I completely missed this thread, but I listened to the Joe Bosack episode a week or so ago after seeing him tweet about it and really enjoyed it.

Thanks, Brandon. I appreciate you listening. Between running the site/social media, designing digital assets, getting guests, doing show outlines and recording/editing, it's always nice to hear people enjoy the show. It's much more work than I originally thought haha.

This week I talked to Darrin Crescenzi. Darrin is design director of innovation at Interbrand in NYC. However before that he was a senior designer in the Nike Brand Design Global Initiatives team where he worked on the Lebron James identity, USA basketball branding and the Nike Fuelband launch.

Darrin has also been recognized by the Art Directors Club and Fast Company.

This one is pretty sophisticated as it regards to a conversation in branding and what it takes to work in the highest levels of design.
