The Copy and Design Brew is the podcast where we drink craft beer and talk about the exciting world of freelance copy and design. We're here to help you unwind at the end of a long week of hermit-like devotion to your craft, with a jaunty Friday afternoon beercast! Every week we settle into a delicious craft beer (or two) and discuss a different topic related to freelancing, copywriting and graphic design.
