  • 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!

  • Inspiring, Thoughtful, A Must-Listen for Creative Minds

    I love these podcasts. They’re a fascinating blend of arts, culture, creativity, and society—always fresh, always insightful. They’re perfect for commutes or when I need a burst of inspiration. What I appreciate most is how each episode feels like a mini masterclass—deep conversations with fascinating guests that challenge me to think differently. Whether it’s a whale scientist one week or a novelist the next, I’m always walking away feeling more curious and connected.
