"I never took the time to sit down with a book or browse the websites for designers to learn what's happening in the UX/UI industry or which design patterns designers favor. But then I turned to podcasts as a way to keep up with the news in this field." So says Magica T, a UX/UI designer in Stockholm, about the experience she gained after years of listening to podcasts while working.

She also says she has learned a great deal from the design industry leaders at Google, Spotify, Airbnb, and eBay. Below is the list of 5 podcasts she personally finds excellent and wants to share with everyone.
