Family (and how we "should" call it)

What does the word "family" mean to you? Is your family the people you grow up with, the people you're genetically related to? Or perhaps the people you choose to be your family? There are so many definitions for this word, and an incredible amount of opinions on this topic. In this episode, single Mom Maimouna and writer/plant-lover Monika talk about their views on family and whether or not they believe "blood is thicker than water".

How do Artists Get Inspired? Art vs. Inspiration

We all know about the big artists out there, whether we're talking poetry, like Emily Dickinson, or art, like Pablo Picasso. And we all know their works of art and how brilliant they are. But how many brilliant pieces can one writer, singer, painter, possibly create? It comes down to multiple factors, but in this episode we talk about one in particular: inspiration. What inspires artists to keep going, what's their drive to create? We've invited poet & tattoo artist Cara and writer & poet Lara to talk about this interesting topic.

(Non-)Traditional Relationships and How Society Views Them

Have you ever been in a consensual non-monogamous relationship? Chances are you haven't, but you've thought about it - just like 25% of U.S. citizens (based on a 2015 study). However, even though non-monogamy isn't anything new to the world, there are many societies where it's still considered unethical or unusual. This is the first of, hopefully, many episodes around the topic of relationships and it's different styles and preferences. And today, Adriana tells us about her experiences with the relationship style she prefers.

Corona vs. Artists - How Does The Pandemic Affect Artists And Their Communities?

We can most certainly say that 2020 was definitely not a usual year for nearly all of us - whether at school or at work, with family or friends, there have been major changes and adjustments we had to make as individuals. This episode, however, we want to focus on something you, as a listener, probably thought a lot about as well: art. How has the pandemic been for artists and what kind of changed have there been in certain creative communities? We've invited Elayna Speight, graphic designer, and Dany Greene, embroidery artist, to share their experiences with us.
