When I listen to podcasts, and I listen to a lot of them, I like to sort pastels or tidy my studio or doodle. Too much iPad screen time makes my vision go blurry. By doing something mindless and productive while I’m listening, I can learn how to market my work or be inspired to do better work or just laugh out loud.

Here are a few websites whose podcasts I listened to recently:

• The Abundant Artist
• The Work of Art
• TED Radio Hour

Here is what I doodled while listening (once I get my studio completely cleaned up, I’ll share a picture of that, too, but it’s going to take at least a few more podcasts!).

Doodle with scaly sun.

Doodle with starry sky.

Doodle with puppies.
