Mostly what this seems to be about. The directness and honesty are good, but if residencies are not your jam it gets tiresome. A broader scope would be helpful.

United Statesa year ago - Really great practice advice for artists
Just listened to several episodes and learned so much about residencies, grants, the benefits of networking just within these episodes. Really appreciate what Paddy is doing with Netvvrk.
Apple Podcasts5motherinlawUnited Statesa year ago - Very helpful!
This podcast is really good! I’m impressed by the level of helpful, knowledgeable advice offered. Paddy really understands the problems so many artists face, and addresses them with clarity and confidence. Thank you Paddy!
Apple Podcasts5NikitonidoyUnited Statesa year ago - Paddy is the fixer for Art Problems
Even after years as an artist in the NY art world and now in Austin, I thought I knew how to navigate this messy business. But Paddy has insight I didn't even know I was missing, with clear, practical advice for taking a step-by-step problem solving approach. Seriously, it's uplifting to listen to these. Not like homework or someone telling you to do the stuff you intentionally procrastinate.
Apple Podcasts5lauriefrickUnited Statesa year ago - Loving these.
Just listened to the new Episode, and then started listening from the very beginning.
Just finished Episode 4, and now I’m definitely hooked.
Paddy, you got me!
I’m a mid- career art making junkie, no formal training, no silver spoon, quickly going broke, over-qualified to get a real job -and they can’t afford me anyway! :-) (I think those were your words!).
Thanks for wanting to make a contribution. I hope it helps, but even if it doesn’t, I think it’ll be fun!
I’m a fan!
