From the publisher
Real talk for creatives – without the corporate fluff. Every week, host Katy Cowan sits down with designers, illustrators, animators, entrepreneurs and creative thinkers for the kind of honest, warm, slightly unpredictable conversations that remind you why you got into this in the first place. We go to the real places – confidence, burnout, reinvention, money, failure, imposter syndrome – and we don't dress them up. But we also laugh a lot. And occasionally reference the '90s more than is strictly necessary. Each guest brings their own story. What connects them is a willingness to be genuinely open about the creative life – the brilliant parts and the brutal ones. The Creative Boom Podcast has been part of Creative Boom, the independent magazine for the creative community, since 2009. New episodes every week.
