No Time to be Timid

My producer Adam and I recorded the first interview for Season Three! And even though we were both feeling a little puny before the show, when we started making art -- making something out of nothing -- it put a skip into our step like few things can. And a quote from Neil Gaiman helps explain why.

Dinner with friends, a hit TV show, and a new stove ignite my creativity and inspire a new way for me to replenish it. Plus, the great Maya Angelou reminds us that the more you use your creativity, the more there is to go around.

If you've been wanting to start a project but can't seem to make it happen, then this episode is for you. We talk about the power of deadlines and cite the work of  Season Two's guests Shannon Cason (Episode 2) and David Crabb (Episode 7).

I started off the new year re-reading a great creative resource, The Genius Zone by Gay Hendricks. In this mini-episode, we talk about Hendricks' advice to woo our creativity like a beloved and to ask ourselves the question, do you appreciate your creativity? Learn more here.

One of the highlights of this past year for me was seeing the Nick Cave exhibition at the Guggenheim, especially his Sound Suits. In this mini episode, we talk about why he makes them, and how his work can inspire all of us in 2024. Check out his work here and here! And Happy New Year everybody!

Our holiday special! A story I crafted for a small town Christmas special makes it to The Moth Radio Hour and I'm reminded of how we never know how our creative ideas will grow. Plus, check out rock star choral director Jody Simpson.

A glaring mistake reminds me to slow down, pay attention, and notice my surroundings, because those details inform my art. I also take cues from several of Season Two's guests. Check them out:

Steve Young

Shannon Cason

David Crabb

In the first of our mini episodes, we talk about the benefits of making our work space hospitable, continuing a daily practice, and how art brings us both hope and sanity.

In this episode, we talk to Trisha about her incredible journey from poverty in Alabama to life as a runway model, artist, storyteller, and now executive producer of the upcoming film "Miss Macy," which is based on a story she told on The Moth stage. There are few people as inspirational as Trisha, so get ready for an incredible shot of creative courage (and some drambuie, too!)
