Creative Xpert host a series of interviews. I listened to the Jason Santa Maria one which was actually quite enjoyable and a lot better than this bizarrely unjustified bad prejudgement of internet interviews that I have. Has this stemmed from the project on typeradio? I've been meaning to venture back so maybe now it's time to.

Recently found this whilst trying to find Stephen Fry's BBC Radio 4 series on language, as research for my essay.
It's a site that searches the web for various audio streams or podcasts then lets you compile them into a list. You can tag search for other audio files relating to what you are looking for. Great for a break from all those books.
Lovely layout with loads of manicules too. Always a bonus I belive.

Little People (A Blog)
Homepage
Amazing amazing little sculptures set in the public. I wish to God I'd of seen one of these at some point. Definitely makes me want to buy a whole heap of lego again or start up my model-making past times.

Paul Huxen - Twiggy8520Designs
Homepage
I emailed Paul Huxen, creator of Twiggy8520 Designs recently whilst he was in the process of updating his site. He's a top fella and doesn't consider himself a strict 'typographer' even though he has an ardency for it. It's good to know someone like this as I'm in a similar boat myself.
The new website update is fantistic. Clean yet with nice little extras that turn simple into slick. Go look at his type. Go look at his illustration. Go look at his site.
Top stuff.
Example of Huxen's typeface 'Unremitting'.

This site seems closely affilitated to Letterhead Fonts and probably is. It works well together so there's no point in really ignoring this fact. They supply high-res grayscale tiffs and vector art of ornaments and borders etc.
They've made four packs with a demo in each. My favourite is centennial because it reminds me of all the score books I've collected over the years.
Not greatly well designed site but selling vectors as a bundle is worth consideration especially as an extra to fonts, like the Eduardo Recife vector pack I got when I bought his.

Posted extensively before about this foundry on Derrick but the updated site deserves mention.
Presentation-wise they've really upped their game. Before they had their own style but now it gels to a we interface well. The vector use of type doesn't look crap as it is a good verbatim of the style within use for each piece. I love how detailed they are with each typeface and it really sells each one to you well.
If any, I think I'd be buying from these guys next, for personal use because each font is a style I love to work in.
I'm sure if you look at 'Letterhead' you'll notice you've seen it about at some point before. Marks and Spencers christmas gift tins few years ago anyone? It secretely fits into the nicest of places. Lovely.
