Insightful and fun

This show has great, practical advise for new artists trying to navigate the complexities of the art world while also offering catharsis and validation for those with more experience. It’s fun and upbeat and the hosts are engaging and stay on topic without going off on random tangents as some other art podcasts can do. I’m really excited about hearing more about other artists processes as well. I think even if you don’t consider yourself an artist in the conventional sense, it’s time we’ll spent.
Even though this is a pre recorded show, they someone how make you feel like you’re part of the conversation, which is amazing.
