Knowing Our Role
Explicit content warning
06/02/20 • 61 min
A lot is happening in the world today. Murders, protests, pandemics, and riots have impacted all of us in one way or the other.
What's the role of the writer in all of this? What's the role of the artist? It's hard to tell on the best of days, but in turbulent times it can be even more confusing. I'd planned on bringing in my new co-host with an easier question to answer. But that wasn't in the cards.
Join us as we talk about the role of art, the artist, and conversation in society and turbulent times. We might even find an answer in an hour.

Creativity and Mental Health
We talk a lot about mental health when we talk about creativity. Writers, artists, and musicians are often as remembered for their difficulties as they are for their work. In fact, this is one of the most popular research topics related to human creativity.
Recently I decided to take some time away from social media because of my mental health. Between the pandemic, my ongoing struggles, and the constant messaging from those channels, I found myself falling deeper and deeper down a hole.
It's something I have gotten used to dealing with.
I've lived with mental health issues my entire life. I've also been a creative for most of that time. So I wanted to take some time and have a conversation with my friend and colleague, Georgia Hertz, about being a creative with mental health issues.
