ASBX Podcast
Artist Soapbox
Artist Soapbox is a platform for original scripted audio fiction and an opportunity for artists to discuss their creative work in their own voices. We do this through our interview podcast, our blog, and original audio dramas.
*The Artist Soapbox podcast is currently on hiatus. Please enjoy the 200 back episodes on all the usual podcast platforms. We do have live events coming up in 2024: ASBX LIVE and Theater Book Club.*
Artist Soapbox is an anti-racist organization. We believe Black Lives Matter. In addition, as an audio production company, ASBX has signed the Equality in Audio Pact on Broccoli Content.
Artist Soapbox is more than just an interview podcast.
We lead writers groups, accountability support, events, and workshops. We create and produce audio dramas too! Listen to the Master Builder, The New Colossus Audio Drama, Declaration of Love, and ASBX Shorts. Stay tuned to hear about more projects written by the Soapbox Audio Collective Writers’ Group.
Artist Soapbox is about Empowerment & Connection.
Artist Soapbox was founded on the belief that if we (humans/artists) talk with each other, and if we LISTEN to each other, then we’ll make better art. We’ll form a stronger community. We’ll feel more empowered and less alone.
Artist Soapbox goes deep into the creative process.
On Artist Soapbox podcast, artists in the Triangle are invited to put words around their creative journeys and processes.
Artist Soapbox explores all artistic mediums.
We believe we can learn from all artists. Artist Soapbox is open to the full spectrum of art-makers and has interviewed creatives in theatre, dance, visual, literary, craft, administration, film making, photography, music, design and more.
