I love listening to this podcast. It is so validating and motivating for me as a creative. I’ve been listening for a couple of years now and have enjoyed every minute, so much so, that I went back to the beginning and am listening to the episodes I hadn’t yet listened to prior to when I found the podcast. It’s like I always have two friends who get it and encourage me to take those tiny baby steps forward.

This is a must listen for anyone exploring their creative self (and those who are not but want to). The episodes are real and conversational, not overly planned/edited. It feels like you are having a cup of coffee with friends who push you and love you at the same time.

I need this message. It’s also very healing for me to hear how you care for each other.

I’m an artist, and this is my favorite podcast. Even as a non-writer (I’m an actor and voiceover artist), I love listening to James and Amie talk about a huge variety of topics related to making art, the business of art, and living life as an artist. It’s always really grounded in their own experiences and that of the guests they bring on, and never feels too philosophical. And crucially, they recognize that their way is not *the* way for every artist (and the two of them each have very different approaches to their own artistic pursuits, which balance beautifully on the podcast). Also, and they joke about how it probably alienates some listeners, but I love the tangents rants they frequently go on. It’s usually still really related to the topic they’re on, or it is just fun and helps reveal that these artists, like all artists, have actual whole lives (and should!).
