The Grey & Gold Podcast

Today we are joined by guest Shaun David Hutchinson, author of We Are the Ants, Brave Face, and upcoming release The State of Us (June 2nd). 

A fascinating storyteller out of the pacific northwest who can talk Star Trek with Grey for days, we examine the philosophy of free will vs determinism in his work, going all the way back to his earliest published fiction, and explore the future of automation in traditional and nontraditional work. Is the creative industry just as susceptible to robot takeovers? Is robot Shaun a more compelling writer?

In all seriousness we are incredibly grateful for Shaun's time and encourage you to reach out and take a look at his work.

Technology vs connection: Do our devices bring us closer together or push us apart? On today's episode Greydon Square and RK Gold discuss the importance of purpose, intimacy, and maturity. A light hearted discussion that explores the advantages of working out under the influence of marijuana, the importance of establishing real human connections, and the need to establish some level of empathy in our daily dialogues (especially when it's through a device).

Welcome back to another Grey & Gold podcast with your hosts Greydon Square and RK Gold. Today we discuss a wide range of topics around the creative process, including creator consumption habits. Should rappers listen to rap or find inspiration elsewhere? Should authors learn to paint to flex the other creative muscles in their brains and are these discussions isolated only to the creative process or do they belong in business and education as well? 

Other questions we explore are:

Do you think specialization is hurting or helping creativity? 

What're the responsibilities of the creator to the consumer? 

We are also excited for our upcoming interview with Savy Leiser from Savy Writes Books, which will go live Friday at 11 am central

Today we interview comic artist, writer and illustrator Ian McGinty. Ian is known for his work with Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and the Invader Zim movie as well as his original work Showside and Glint. We were incredibly lucky to have Ian on our show to discuss his story, the publishing industry, the effects of Covid on comics, and how upcoming artists can leave their mark.

Yeah we understand the confusion on this one. Technically our second episode but Grey & Gold is back with an exciting announcement. Our first interview with artist, writer, and illustrator Ian McGinty will be live Friday at 11 am central!

In tonight's episode we discuss growing an audience, a brand, and a fan base as well as dive into opportunity costs of independent ownership of your craft and finish on a discussion about the current pandemic (and its effects on businesses and creatives).

We hope you enjoy this show! 

Welcome to the Pilot episode of Grey & Gold or maybe it's pre-pilot. Anyway on today's episode Greydon Square and RK Gold discuss storytelling, comics, philosophy and tropes. They weigh in on the infinite Star Wars vs Star Trek debate and discuss the collaborative efforts that brought some of the most iconic stories of our time. 

We hope you enjoy this first episode.
