The best podcasts for Creative People

Inspiring Stories & Actionable Strategies for Building a Thriving Creative Practice

Akimbo is an ancient word, from the bend in the river or the bend in an archer's bow. It's become a symbol for strength, a posture of possibility, the idea that when we stand tall, arms bent, looking right at it, we can make a difference.

Akimbo's a podcast about our culture and about how we can change it. About seeing what's happening and choosing to do something.

The culture is real, but it can be changed. You can bend it.

Ever feel overwhelmed when you visit a museum? Discover a better way to connect with art! Join lifelong art lover and museum fan Karen Jackson as she shares what she sees and discovers while looking at a work of art for minutes instead of the usual 6-10 seconds. Each episode opens with a unique experience — a short, vivid description of a work from one of Washington DC's world-class museums. Then you’ll find out the history, mystery or controversy behind the work or the artist! Episodes are less than 15 minutes. No jargon, just an easy-going, sometimes irreverent look at art and the very human stories behind it. The descriptions also provide blind or visually impaired listeners a way to enjoy art.

Creativity can be a lonely path. If we want to reach our full potential (and have a good time doing it), we Creatives need cheerleading and insights from our creative colleagues. In the Creative Chats podcast, I speak to some of the best Creatives around, about creativity and their process, and I share stories of Artists, Makers, and Content Creators. In fact, anything that will help you do your best work yet!
