- Makes me feel sane!
I never bother to review anything but I wanted to make the effort to just thank Andy for his efforts on this podcast. Apart from his interviews with many interesting illustrators from across the spectrum of art and design, which have just gotten stronger and stronger over the years, I really appreciate his insightful and useful approach to tackling the everyday practical and existential problems that come with working as an illustrator. I recently listened to an oldie, which covered the idea of ... more

The title sounded great. I turned the episode on… and it seemed like the vacation meetup details went on for a long time. This was the first time I listened. I didn’t make it all the way to the content. Maybe I’ll try again with another episode.

This man talks like someone who works at an ad agency with lots of made up phrases and therapy talk but says absolutely nothing! I know a lot of Americans speak this way but it’s very difficult to comprehend and I just wish he would get to the point. He sounds like an overexcited child. I think most of the podcasts I follow feature people I’d like to spend time with real life. Unfortunately, I’d last 10 se... more

Two years ago I Googled "creativity podcast" when I needed reassurance that I had made the right decision to switch from a full-time position to a part-time job to focus on my art. Boy, did I hit the jackpot in finding CPT! I am in a very different artistic field than Dr. Pizza but couldn't believe how every episode still hit the pepperoni precisely in the center the pie. I was so inspired that, in true ADHD fashion, I dug deep into the CPT brick oven and started binge listening to all of them f... more
