  • Who says NH doesn’t have culture?

    Laura and Sarah are a living testament to how awesome NH is, to say nothing of their impressive guest roster. People always say that NH doesn’t have great culture or art. To the naysayers, I present Creative Guts. Every episode is inspiring, authentic, and just plain old fun. Thank you Laura and Sarah for showing us your creative guys and keep it up!!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Matt Patterson
Q: What can we do to help protect turtles?
The main threats are habitat loss, poaching, and climate change, which affects their breeding and survival. One simple action is to help turtles cross the road in the direction they are going.
Matt Patterson
Q: Will you introduce yourself and tell them just a little bit about you as a creative?
I am a wildlife illustrator artist, but even more specifically a turtle artist, and I do wildlife illustration books, and I do a lot of turtle stuff, a lot of traveling for my work.
Joel Christian Gill
Q: What's a piece of good advice you received?
A piece of bad advice he confronts involved being told to just coast on his previous skills instead of pushing himself to innovate.
Joel Christian Gill
Q: What brought you to become an educator?
Gill explains that being a professor was his plan A, while being a famous artist was plan B, driven by a desire for stability because he had children early.
Jenny Tibbits
Q: As you're hanging these up and then after and it's exhibiting, what type of feedback are you getting or reactions from folks?
It was interesting because on the 5th of May, we did a little ceremony under the clam shell because the weather was crappy.
