  • One of my favourite creative podcasts

    Paid2Draw is my new favourite podcast. The hosts are open, funny, kind, well-researched and genuinely interested in every guest. Conversations centre around each guest’s career, but often include discussions on general topics within the creative industries. They take a deeper dive into the creative practices of their guests, unearthing the how and why that motivates people to draw. I can’t wait for each new episode. Thank you!
