Everyone plays a character, right? Welcome to Character Study the podcast that explores how writers, artists performers shape their own stories. Each episode, author Freya Bromley talks to writers, comedians, musicians and creators about the delicate art of finding inspiration in the everyday. From memoir to standup via autofiction and Instagram, what happens when we blur the lines between fact and fiction? These conversations explore how seeing yourself as a ‘character’ in your own story can unearth unexpected courage, compassion and curiosity. And maybe even a bit more self-reflection. But how do you write about topics like friendship, family, or love without revealing too much about the people closest to you? What does authentic storytelling really mean in an era of curated online personas? And does mining your life for material change the way you experience it? This podcast isn’t just for writers, it’s for anyone trying to make sense of their own story.  Follow Character Study and explore how the art of storytelling shapes our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Emma Gannon: Passage Reading — Creative Compass

    In this passage episode from our guest, Emma reads from her latest book Creative Compass — a story about watching a Bill Cunningham documentary in her early 20s and the creative philosophy it unlocked. Bill Cunningham, the beloved New York Times street photographer, lived in a rent-controlled room at Carnegie Hall, slept surrounded by filing cabinets, and ripped up a large cheque rather than compromise his freedom. The passage that follows is Emma's meditation on what that means for a creative life: keep your overheads low, consume less, create more. Freya and Emma then discuss the passage and where it sits in their own creative lives. WATCH the full episode HERE Buy Emma Gannon’s Creative Compass, A Year of Nothing and more.

    Emma Gannon: Permission to Be a Writer

    In the first ever episode of Character Study, Freya sits down with Emma Gannon: author of nine books, Substack writer to 80,000 readers and one of the most distinctive voices on the internet about creative life. They talk about what it really means to build a career from creativity, the difference between performing as a creative person and actually being one, why Emma's burnout happened when she forgot to live and how stepping back from the "shiny" version of success led to her most honest work yet. Emma also talks about her new book Creative Compass—a cosy, permission-giving guide on how to return to your creative practice—and why she wanted it to feel less like a manual and more like a reminder that you're a writer and you can do this. This is a conversation about romanticising your creative life, protecting your time and energy and why the writing is always the best bit.
