Great podcast!

Headphones and Crayons is a unique and refreshing podcast that beautifully blends art and productivity. It's been awesome to nerd out with Nikita on voice, sound, color and creativity. The opportunity to color along while listening makes it very therapeutic. Deirdre

Pure meditation

I had to really work to decide if I wanted to describe this as “meditation” or “medication” because really, it’s both. I just downloaded a coloring app on my iPad and dusted off the old color pencils so I can take my new “Headphones &Crayons” daily practice to the next level by coloring along.
