Friends,

I am working to bring the voices of our creative community to your ears as quickly as possible. 

For you, I hope these voices and conversations might be: 

• comforting or stimulating
• thought-provoking or soothing
• inspiring or sheltering
• or whatever you need at this moment in time.

My own needs seem to change from hour to hour, but I do find comfort in the connection I feel after a 40 minute conversation with another human being about creativity, life, art, process, and meaning. These conversations are sustaining me in a moment when I feel very isolated and worried.

You’ll see the ten most recent episodes listed below, in case you’ve missed them. If now is not the best time for you to listen, then they will be here when you are ready. Sending you love.
