Working: An Artist’s Guide to ADHD and Getting Stuff Done


Listen Later

This week, host Ronald Young Jr. talks to Andy J. Pizza, an illustrator and creator of children’s books who’s also the host of the Creative Pep Talk podcast. In the interview, Andy explains what it’s like to be a working artist with ADHD, and he shares some strategies that have helped him channel his attention, accomplish tasks, and evolve in his career. 


After the interview, Ronald and co-host June Thomas talk about creating like a child and the importance of “useless” friends.


In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Andy discusses some of his favorite music. 


Podcast production by Cameron Drews.
