In this episode of Creative Current Events, Margo and Abby dive into a whirlwind of fascinating stories and fresh perspectives from the worlds of creativity, tech, and everyday life. They chat about the accidental invention of the snow globe and the surprising rise of art fairs hosted in U-Haul trucks — celebrating human resourcefulness and the scrappy side of creativity.

They also dig into AI and authenticity — from lawsuits against media companies accused of data theft, to AI-generated actors in Hollywood, and the ethical gray areas of algorithm-driven platforms like Spotify. Together, Margo and Abby unpack how these developments are reshaping creative industries and what it means to stay human in a data-driven world.

Whether you're a maker, dreamer, or just looking for a new lens on today's creative headlines, this episode proves that inspiration is everywhere — sometimes in the most unexpected places.
