Cover Meeting Season Two First episode of (the long-awaited) second season of Steve Leard's excellent book cover design podcast Cover Meeting is a conversation with Irish freelance designer Jack Smyth in which he discusses his work, the industry, building community, how he really feels about cover quotes, and more. I'm a big fan of Jack's work and it has regularly featured here over the years.
