  • Original, Intelligent Conversations

    The range of topics is broad but all under the umbrella of creativity. The approach is from many disciplines, and can be theoretical and/or pragmatic. Truly interdisciplinary…. the totality of interviews reminds me of a Cultural Anthropology (as popularized by Clifford Geertz) term: “a thick description”. Furthermore, whether the interviewee is well or less known, all are well qualified in their particular speciality.

  • An Essential Resource for Creativity & Connection

    The conversations on The Creative Process are beyond inspiring. I listen while walking, while folding laundry, and while I rock in the glider with my four-month-old son. I always feel better, more connected, and moved to create after listening. I don’t plan on missing an episode!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Note from Non-People": Kurdish History, Language & Culture with SERHAT TUTKAL & HEVIN KARAKURT
Q: Could you speak a little about language and then about Kurdish language in particular?
Serhat discusses the emotional and political dimensions of language, including the dominance of Turkish and the experience of owning or borrowing languages as a speaker from Kurdish communities in Turkey and the diaspora.
How the Pandemic Exposed the Cruelties of Incarceration w/ VICTORIA LAW
Q: What can we learn about women and trans people during the pandemic and how their experiences differed in the carceral system?
The guest explains that women, often primary caregivers, faced amplified isolation, disrupted medical care, limited family contact, and harsher enforcement of policies, worsening their vulnerability and the impact on families.
How the Pandemic Exposed the Cruelties of Incarceration w/ VICTORIA LAW
Q: Could you talk a little bit more about the ways in which normal and horrible forms of punishment besides solitary confinement were amplified during COVID in terms of time outside or outside circulation?
Victoria Law describes how prisons doubled down on punishment instead of enabling precautions, with crowded cells, limited ability to walk, and punitive measures like ticketing for routine actions, all of which worsened health outcomes and reinforced dehumanization.
Climate Capital: Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future - TOM CHI, Google X Co-founder, Founding Partner At One Ventures
Q: What would a future-ready education look like, and how can different sectors learn from each other?
Education should emphasize depth, experiential learning, and multidisciplinary collaboration—learning by doing and solving real-world problems—so students develop practical skills across engineering, business, and community work, not just rote knowledge.
Climate Capital: Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future - TOM CHI, Google X Co-founder, Founding Partner At One Ventures
Q: When did you realize that economics is a design discipline, not a law of nature, and how did that shape your work?
Chi explains that a long history of treating economics as a science led to brittle policies; recognizing it as a design discipline allows iterative, context-specific solutions and better alignment with planetary realities, guiding investment and policy toward regenerative outcomes.
