Podcasts for "The Creative Class"
Ugh. Fast Company magazine lists 12 podcasts for "the creative class" - that odd economic construction that groups artists, "knowledge workers" and intellectuals, according to FC. Loyal readers will remember that I've taken issue with the concept of the "creative class" before. As I said then, I'm no economist, but I take issue with co-opting the term "creative," as though doctors and construction workers and whoever else doesn't fall into the "creative class" construct is somehow less creative.
Prickliness aside, some of the podcasts on the list look interesting. I'm not a big podcast listener myself - too many steps for this lazy soul between the moment of interest and actual listening, plus I don't drive much anymore, and the only time I really like to listen to "talk" is in the car. But still - despite my issues with "the creative class," and despite my lack of podcast use, I cheerfully and enthusiastically point the way to this list of podcasts.
