We don't know. Now you won't either.

There is no expertise to be found here; it is but the spinning of wheels. What can be found, however, is two clueless troubadours asking some of the questions you might have felt like you were the only one asking.

Come, overthink with us.

Episode 10: The Re-Creative Process

When was the last time we really loved what we were doing? Really loved the art that we set out, however long ago, to create and the art made by others? For some of us (!?!), maybe that was as recently as today, but for many of us, that l...

Great episode! While I’m only a listener of music, the discussion of the freedom (and consistency) in the act of creating art really hit me. I’m gonna pick up Rubin’s book and see how it can apply to my art (food). Keep creating both your art and your podcast! PS - in future episodes if you recommend books, I'd definitely buy through an affiliate link (especially for an independent bookstore!). No pressure to commercialize your musings though. I'd also be thrilled to have y'all recommend music, whether it's just a recently listened to record or a playlist of 5 songs.
