Forums, Blogs, Podcasts and Teachers

    You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

    So what to you do if you don't have a lot of artists in your immediate family or friends?

    You join various internet communities and build relationships!

    Here's a list of blogs, podcasts and other forum like spaces you might want to make a habit of consuming.

    I listen to atleast 1 hour long podcast every afternoon and always read interesting articles when something shows up. I also read things I hate or fear because my personal feelings should not get in the way of me expanding my horizon.
