Due to popular demand (an email from a keen listener) Graphic Design on The Radio is back on Resonance FM 104.4. The show returns with a new floating format. As before, there will be interviews with leading designers who talk about their work and the burning issues of the day, and play the music that has inspired and influenced them. But from time to time, the new series will adopt a magazine format and invite guests to discuss hot topics of the moment. Either way, listen out for lots of design chatter and interesting music.
The new series kicks off with Tony Brook, founder and Creative Director of Spin. A hardcore music fan, Tony makes some interesting choices of music.
Listen on the airwaves or online via the Resonance website.
