  • Predictable and long winded

    The repetitious interview structure is long winded and frustrating- so often asking interviewee to grind through their linear biography from childhood to present…!

  • Insightful, inspiring & helpful pod!

    Really love this when I’m having a spout of low confidence in my practice or when starting a new project. I recommend the amazing Phoebe Davies for this podcast.

  • Excellent and helpful

    I love this podcast having only recently discovered it. It’s like artist therapy for me having worked as self employed for 16 years now! It’s so good to hear how others have pushed through the struggles of being a self employed artist. Very inspiring to push my artistic limits a bit more too. The World has too much of the same stuff!!!

  • Always informative

    I love how in depth the interviews are. A lot of podcasts about art are geared towards the financial side only and this can make me nervous to listen to. I start thinking I’m not doing enough, etc…but Ceri’s interviews are about a wide variety of subjects. They’ve helped me broaden my understanding of what a career in the arts could look like.

She invites brilliant people onto Extraordinary Creatives and delves deep into artistic processes and how the art world operates. I have gained plenty of insight from listening and highly recommend the podcast.
