This podcast has been one of my favorites for years. Margret Petrie conducts probing interviews that offer both stimulation and comfort, diving deep into core, universal issues that all artists face. The notion of the obsession that surfaces as the thread running throughout our work,and thus our very souls, is intriguing. It is an excellent lens through which to understand not only our creative process but also what makes us tick, what ignites us. Margret asks questions that listeners will enjoy considering thoughtfully for themselves as they enjoy these gentle, philosophical, meandering conversations that leave us feeling refreshed, rejuvenated curious, and inspired.

I recently discovered Authentic Obsessions and love the deep dive each episode takes into the work of interesting artists I would likely never discover otherwise. The host asks great questions and leaves lots of room for her guests to answer. I come away with the sense that the world is brighter and that so much more is possible. So much creative inspiration, both general and specific. And I love the unique music. Highly recommend!

Lose the music

I had no idea before this podcast, but there were other artists that had these kind of obsessions like me. I love hearing exploration that artists go through with their obsessions whether the color or an idea, or whether it be collections and materials. I can’t recommend this podcast enough if you are creative person.
