What happens when a poet and musician decide to make an album? We had absolutely no clue, but we said hell yes anyway. A behind-the-scenes look at the making of Famished, a spoken word album by Pia Leichter and Tyler Bodkins. Intimate conversations about the heart-racing, stomach-dropping, exhilarating mess of co-creating art. Over 11 episodes, we show how 'Famished' was born - track by track - with all the intuitive hits, downloads, and wobbly moments that came up along the way. For anyone curious about the creative process and wild collaborations.

    pleasure principle

    Pia and Tyler discuss "pleasure principle," the album closer that almost didn't make it into the book. Pia shares why she wanted to reclaim pleasure beyond just sexuality—desert road trips, artichokes, intimacy—while Tyler reveals this is the only track he's ever made that made him cry. A conversation about co-creating with friends, how six months changed them both, and savoring life—because even the pain is part of the pleasure.

    between scripts

    Pia and Tyler discuss "between scripts" and the uncomfortable space between who you were and who you're becoming. They explore why chaos is creative opportunity and that sweet moment when you remember you get to write what comes next. A conversation about curating chaos, building capacity for uncertainty, and how growth spurts feel nauseating until you realize you're just rounding the bend into something bigger.

    the morning after

    Pia and Tyler discuss the making of "the morning after", exploring how imagination fuels creativity but becomes a trap when you live in Lalaland. A conversation about staying grounded in reality (and dipping your toes in fantasy) while letting your imagination run wild when making art.

    meat

    Pia and Tyler discuss "meat," the album's most sensual track about desire, intimacy, and the line between fantasy and reality. They explore how imagination fuels creativity, why getting lost in fantasy is no bueno, and the gift of being able to create worlds in your mind—as long as you keep your feet planted in reality.

    spilled coffee and smashed cherries

    Pia and Tyler discuss "spilled coffee and smashed cherries," a track about shape-shifting, containment, and learning to spill over. They share how to flip trauma into superpowers, mold yourself instead of letting others mold you, and remind us that we're the ones choosing - the ones stacking plates.

    thirsty

    Pia and Tyler discuss "thirsty," Pia's most vulnerable poem about addiction, sobriety, and creativity. Pia shares her journey from living behind a "fogged up glass" to five years sober. They explore how numbness blocks our ability to create, and how the track moves through monotony, messy rebellion, crushing shame, and finally — choosing to feel it all and get high on reality instead.

    where it lives

    From chaotic city streets to Italian siestas, Pia and Tyler explore how "where it lives" captures where creativity does and doesn't reside. They discuss why Pia expanded this poem mid-process and how Tyler experimented with distorted street sounds to capture anxiety. The key insight: creative flow can feel just as fast-paced as anxiety—it's the energy behind the work that matters.

    towels

    The gym is empty, Gatorade bottles rolling around - you're about to step into the creative arena. Tyler and Pia explore "towels," a track about that moment when you're preparing to create, knowing you'll be changed on the other side of it. Pia shares the backstory behind Vaseline-prepped fighters and fluorescent Lycra, while Tyler explains how he built that tense, pre-creation energy into the music. They discuss why showing up fully on stage means being ready for both roses and tomatoes, and why indifference is worse than dislike.

    hungry

    Come on in, the water's warm

    Tyler and Pia get real about the messy, beautiful terror of creative leaps. What it feels like to stand on the edge of something new - whether it's a song, a project, or a new life - having no clue what's waiting below. They break down their track "come on in" and the art of creative collaboration minus the egos. Plus: why the water's always warm once you finally stop overthinking and cannonball into your big wide.
