Top 8 creative podcasts that sparks my creativity.

Are you ready to paint the ambient noise canvas with useful, entertaining, and educational content? Listen to these podcasts.

Throughout the week I listen to various podcasts and Youtube. While I illustrate or doing design I love listening to podcasts! I have compiled a list of my personal favourite illustration, creative and some more intriguing podcasts – I hope you fancy them too! Yeeew!

1. Creative Pep Talk

Although this podcast is, to me, a bit all over the place and messy, it is really nice if you’re in a creative rut and need to have some positive pep talk. Andy J. Miller’s enthusiasm is contagious. Andy pulls inspiration from so many different people, places and genres. I learn so much from each episode. This podcast delivers wonderful interviews with the most popular artists/illustrators.

2. Art for your ear

If you’re into fine art and getting inspired, subscribe to this podcast. The Jealous Curator spoken by Danielle Krysa’s never disappoints!

This podcast brings you stories from various contemporary artists. An inside-scoop stories from the artsiest people! I loved finding out why artists did certain things, what was going on in their personal lives, and behind-the-scenes details about other artists they knew and worked with. 

3. Arrest all mimics

This is a visual arts show hosted by Ben Tallon and supported by The Association Of Illustrators. It brings stories behind creative businesses and interviews with creatives. I very much enjoy the interviews in this podcast. It’s an easy to listen to podcast!

4. The Marie Forleo

This would be considered my second favourite podcast. Marie Forleo, named by Oprah as a thought leader for the next generation and one of Inc.’s 500 fastest growing companies, Marie Forleo’s goal is to help you become the person you most want to be. Marie and her guests share actionable strategies for greater happiness, success, motivation, creativity, productivity, love, health, contribution and fulfilment — often with a lot of laughs. This podcast always has interesting people on the podcast.

5. Craig Greschoel Leadership Podcast

Although this has nothing to do with creativity, I like learning things about human behaviour and that includes leadership. I love the fact that Craig Greschoel provides practical ways and easy-to-understand takeaways that I can use to lead myself and if I need to in a team or group environment. We are all leaders!

On top of the podcast if you head to his website you can download a takeaway guide of what the topics and practical elements he discusses each podcast.

6. The Art Curious

This is probably my favourite podcast. Think art history is boring? Think again. It's weird, funny, mysterious, enthralling, and liberating. When you listen to this podcast Jennifer Dasal takes you through some enthralling and the strangest stories in art. Is the Mona Lisa fake? Did Van Gogh actually kill himself? And why were the Impressionists so great?

7.  The Undivided Attention

This is a podcast recently created based on the Netflix documentary, the social dilemma. The documentary-drama hybrid explores the dangerous human impact of social networking, with tech experts sounding the alarm on their own creations.

In this inaugural podcast from the Center for Humane Technology, hosts Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin will expose the hidden designs that have the power to hijack our attention, manipulate our choices and destabilise our real world communities. They’ll explore what it means to become sophisticated about human nature, by interviewing hypnotists, magicians, experts on the dynamics of cults and election hacking and the powers of persuasion. How can we escape this unrelenting race to the bottom of the brain stem?

8. The Striving Artist

Another great podcast, that is relatively new. It’s hosted by, Lauren Hom and Stefan Kunz. Who are well-known lettering artists, entrepreneurs, and most importantly friends who love chatting about creativity and ideas. They talk about key topics such as copyright ownership, taking a leap into freelancing, estimating and pricing.
