A collection of podcasts about living a boldly creative life — the kind built over time, not optimized for algorithms or hustle culture. Across these shows, I explore the creative process in all its messy, meaningful forms: writing books, making art, building stories, navigating rejection, desire, resilience, and the stories we tell ourselves about our work and our lives. You’ll find a mix of intimate personal reflections, behind-the-scenes conversations, and practical creative guidance — sometimes funny, sometimes tender, sometimes deeply honest — always grounded in the belief that creativity is a practice, not a performance. This channel includes: Unscripted — audio letters and reflections on writing, publishing, filmmaking, and what it actually looks like to live a creative life over decades. School for Writers — practical tools and frameworks for writers and storytellers who want to build sustainable, values-aligned creative careers. Bawdy Love — conversations about body image, desire, self-trust, and loving yourself in a culture that profits from shame. And occasionally, archived or revived projects like Queerie Bradshaw, where queerness, pleasure, and cultural critique collide. Some episodes are quiet and reflective. Some are educational. Some are playful or spicy. All of them are rooted in creativity as a way of making sense of the world — and of ourselves. If you’re navigating the ups and downs of creative work, craving more honesty in how art gets made, or simply want to feel less alone in the process, you’re in the right place. New episodes drop across different shows depending on the season and project — subscribe to stay connected.
