About Creative Journeys

Creative Journeys is your go-to podcast for all things creativity.

We explore the essence of creativity through engaging interviews and thought-provoking discussions. We feature guests who share their unique experiences, challenges, and insights, offering valuable advice and inspiration. Sometimes we'll look into the ways we're creative that aren't so obvious. We don't have all the answers, but we're hoping that our conversations will help unlock all sorts of questions about what it means to be creative. Whether you're an artist, educator, scientist, entrepreneur, or simply a curious mind, our goal is to ignite your creative spark and help you discover new ways to bring your ideas to life. We invite you to embark on this creative journey together!Creative Journeys is a podcast produced at Southern Connecticut State University by faculty, students, and staff who are interested in exploring our creative potential.

Episode 16: Innovation, Creativity, and the Quantum Future

In this episode of Creative Journeys, Dave and Melanie sit down with Peter Dimoulas, Program Administrator for Southern’s Innovation Hub, to talk about creativity where you might not expect it: in science, technology, and workforce development. Peter shares how the Innovation Hub connects students, faculty, and industry partners, helping ideas move from classroom curiosity to real-world possibility. They explore what creativity looks like in STEM fields, why industries need designers and communicators just as much as biologists and chemists, and how emerging technologies like quantum computing will reshape the future. From networking wisdom to unexpected career paths, Peter offers a refreshing perspective on collaboration, opportunity, and embracing the unknown. A great listen for students, educators, and anyone curious about how innovation happens—and how creative thinking drives it forward. Tune in! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode 15: Language, Culture, and Learning Through Experience

In this episode of Creative Journeys, Dave and Melanie sit down with Dr. Jesse Gleason, Associate Professor of Spanish in the World Languages and Literatures Department at Southern Connecticut State University, for a conversation that explores creativity through language, technology, and cultural connection. Jesse shares her path from studying linguistics in Chile to earning her doctorate in applied linguistics and technology, and how that journey shapes her teaching today. They dive into podcasting in the classroom, the role of technology in learning languages, and the power of immersive experience—including a life-changing student trip to Patagonia. Together, they reflect on how language learning expands identity, builds confidence, and opens students to entirely new ways of seeing the world. It’s an inspiring reminder that creativity isn’t just about making things—it’s about meaning, connection, and the stories we build across cultures. Tune in to discover how Jesse helps students find their voice in another language, and why experiential learning continues to transform lives. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Together, they dig into shifting post-COVID learning environments, student engagement, and the evolving role of attendance and structure in higher education. It’s a thoughtful, candid discussion about flexibility, accountability, and how creativity shapes learning for both students and educators. Tune in for practical insight, real classroom stories, and a fresh look at how we teach—and learn—in a changing world. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Episode 13: Finding Beauty in the Everyday

In this episode of Creative Journeys, Dave and Melanie welcome artist and Southern Connecticut alum Carolyn Cody for a conversation about finding creativity in unexpected places—from the neural patterns of the brain to the intricate beauty of sliced vegetables. Carolyn shares how her path from painting to design reflects a lifelong curiosity about art, science, and the connections between them. They discuss the power of family influence, the tension between personal and professional creativity, and the confidence it takes to share work that feels deeply personal. Through laughter and reflection, Carolyn reveals how even the smallest details—a kiwi, a countertop, or a moment of inspiration—can spark art that feels alive. This episode invites listeners to look closer at the world around them and rediscover the creativity hiding in plain sight.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
