Creative Beast

Heather Minor and Jo Neary

A comedy adventure podcast investigating creativity. Creative Beast takes an inventive, sideways glance at what it means to be creative, sometimes against the odds. What is this mysterious, powerful driving force; how do we feed it and what happens when we try to stop? Should we? Can we? Where does the Creative Beast live? How big is it's dungeon? Will the cage hold? Is this a metaphor or a simile? Where are my pills?
