What compels the creative mind? Join host Sam Dingman (Family Ghosts, The Rumor) for weekly conversations with fellow seekers of the sacred - aka artists in pursuit of that golden turn of phrase, line of dialogue, chord progression, joke, brushstroke, lyric, or rhyme. We trust the muse will turn up eventually. But until she arrives, how will we spend our time?

Customer Reviews
Peaceful, Funny, a Delight
I came to the midnight disease from family ghosts and continue to be delighted by the way Sam tells stories. I listen on my way home from work on the bus or when I’m cooking dinner/puttering about the house and it feels like catching up with an old friend. Sam, you’re doing a good job and I appreciate how much care you take with all aspects of this work.
Deep, Thoughtful, Soulful
Thank you, Sam! Love all your pods, including this newest one of yours. ✨
Loving this
Sam, I’ve enjoyed all of your work thus far. Imagine my profound delight to hear Terry Miles on your show! What a fun surprise. Keep on keeping on my dude! To you and Terry both!
