What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

David and Anne-Marie know more about InDesign than anyone I can think of, and when you put them together in the same room the resulting conversation is a gold mine. They have a great chemistry and easy rapport that’s just pleasant to listen to (and often laugh out loud funny). I listen to it every month and you never know what new piece of info you’re going to learn. David

Cloud Watcher 123 · Aug 2023

The hosts know this stuff better than anyone, but don't come across as haughty. They cover new developments and plug ins to the nines. If you use In Design it's a great resource, I use the back catalog and never miss an episode. More please!

Gobks · Aug 2023

I never miss an episode. Great information! Anne Marie and David are so knowledgeable and entertaining. Love the obscure feature 👍

nkcreative · Aug 2023

I absolutely love the InDesign Secrets podcast! The hosts David and Anne-Marie are the world’s best InDesign instructors. I highly recommend attending CreativePro Week, a 5 day educational conference run by the hosts, which also includes The InDesign Conference as part. By listening to this podcast, you will become a better graphic designer.
