Episode 7: Finding Yourself w/ Auston Phoenix

Art isn’t just about the final piece—it’s about the process, the obsession, the messy middle. In the Making with Mander is a podcast about art in action. Join artist and arts leader Amanda Roy (aka Mander) as she dives into the rituals, struggles, and revelations of making art—and making ourselves as artists. Through intimate conversations with artists and creatives, this podcast pulls back the curtain on the creative world. 🎙️ New episodes twice a month—because creativity doesn’t run on a schedule, but podcasts kinda do. Be sure to subscribe and join us for the journey.
