This podcast gives such a great insight into a variety of books and the intersection between arts, politics, culture, and more. Everything is discussed in a very understandable, interesting way, and the artists and authors platformed are diverse and very intelligent. This is also a great podcast for book and author recommendations, if you are in the lookout for a new novel.

Each interview and discussion is a unique unraveling of the insights that each guest writer sews together in their work. A truly invaluable channel!

I love these episodes if you want to feel inspired this is the place to go. These episodes really dig into the minds of these creatives,share their stories, how and why they began creating and what their creations mean to them. It is so beautiful to hear about the process and feel the heart and passion of each creative in these interviews.

Love the deep dive into writers’ creative processes for their projects. Very interesting to understand how they create art that not only is riveting but also reflective of societal changes and thought provoking ideas.

This podcast hosts incredibly interesting guests and highlights their careers and great pieces of work. Such a thought-provoking episodes, would definitely recommend

The Creative Process puts out really intelligent and important work. One of the most consistently interesting podcasts I’ve found. Highly recommend checking out all of their channels. Im a total literature nerd so this is right up my alley. Check out their website, too, it’s wonderful hub of creative expression.

Treasure for a literature student. Highly recommended to every literature lover.

It’s wonderful to be guided through the words of such artists, novelists, and screenwriters—it feels like a poem for those who love language, literature, and the constant search for meaning within them.

I love these conversations, especially the episodes with screenwriters. It’s so interesting to hear how they ground even the most abstract ideas in some sort of reality. So interesting to learn what sparked their work!

Loved hearing about such an amazing movie adaptation! The story absolutely spoke for itself and I appreciated Laura Eason’s perspective

As a literature student and writer, I gravitate so much to this podcast and its mission. Hearing writers talk about their processes and their conceptions of the world helps me engage with the world around me in a way that really resonantes and moves me.

This podcast channel consistently teaches me new things about the world. Capitalism has failed us all and is beginning to become undone. When Rischard Wolff explained the way the U.S. has failed it has me deconstruct some of my personal narratives as well.

Enjoyed this podcast very much listening to various creators sharing their insights and see the process of their creation and difficulties different genres of literature. It is very helpful to learn their perspective and adapt their way of approaching subjects and conducting researches in my own creative projects.

Longtime fan of this podcast, each episode gives an intimate look into how great writers think! The hosts never fail to deliver in-depth interviews that feel like natural conversations between passionate, creative people. The John Patrick Shanley episode is a personal favorite.

I have really enjoyed listening to this podcast! I love hearing from brilliant authors, and I love how comprehensive and complex the interviews on The Creative Process are. The guests all have so much to say.

We are so lucky to have a podcast that talks with authors. Writers are a crucial part of society by giving us the most important resource in the world, books. They have the power to change lives and let you become an expert on whatever you are curious about. It is so great listening in on conversations with authors to hear their deeply researched brain get picked. This podcast brings deep thoughts and a ton of educational value.

Really enjoyed the interview with Dr. Barry Schwartz and the way that choice/freedom plays into judgment - how we need the freedom to develop good judgment, though of course this comes with risks. This theme is very pertinent for those in their adolescent years like myself, still navigating how to find one’s voice amidst the multitude of societal/social influences. Very informative and thought provoking!!

Books are an excellent method of exploring undiscussed and unique thought-experiments, belief systems and global perspectives. I really enjoyed Melvin Vopson’s episode on whether or not we are living in a simulated universe. His discussion on current technological advancements were enlightening and has changed my view on the radical changes in technology and how we perceive the world around us. I believe many authors are able to share new and interesting ideas that can be further discussed and open our eyes to a new way of thinking.

The expertise on this podcast is astounding. Reflecting particularly on Kohei Saito’s discussion with David Palumbo-Liu, I was blown away by the way that climate-conscious actions marketed as effective (pun intended) are really just advancing a consumerist agenda disguised in pretty packaging. I was so invested in the episode that I kept finding myself wanting to step through my laptop and ask questions. (silly, except physical laws- as I recently also learned in this podcast series- are not necessarily fixed!) Seriously though, any episode on this series will help you level a critical eye towards our circumstances and the forces- be they abstract or material- that are actively shaping them. More importantly, shifting between disciplines and lines of inquiry, this podcast series gives you the resources to think of the world in mosaic-terms; a composite of stitched together relations that impact each other at every level.

This podcast is a wonderful way to learn about different thriving communities. It’s awesome to see what efforts are being made to make art, educate, and learn. The interviews are always so thoughtfully hosted. This is a really strong podcast.

Listening to the stories of Novelists, Screenwriters, Playwrights, Poets, and Non-Fiction Writers and Journalists actively allowed me to engage in my own creative pursuits. In listening to how so many influential artists embrace their own individuality and overcome adversity in their own personal lives, I am inspired to do the same. The Creative Process has taken together all these powerful voices and curated a vision of what happens when we fight for our passions, dreams, and cause.

This podcast has been a great way to understand the minds of successful artists and trailblazers. It’s wonderful to see how different communities are thriving. The interviews are always masterfully hosted, too!

The Books

I enjoy how the episodes cover a wide variety of writing types from diverse authors. Besides both fiction and non-fiction novel, the episodes also include screenwriters, environmentalists, and journalists. I found this intersection between writing and society very engaging and unique. As a writer myself, I was especially fascinated to hear about the personal intent behind the interviewed authors' crafts and the episodes just made me feel extremely motivated to continue pursuing writing.

I really enjoy this channel, and find so many of the authors and their novels to be incredibly interesting. While I do enjoy hearing about screenplays, I did find myself more keen on hearing about novels and essays while listening.

especially especially loved the art of writing episode! all my heroes in one!

I absolutely ADORE this podcast, it is so brilliant and engaging and it’s fascinating listening to all these people tell their stories about what inspires them. Hats off to this team!

I’m really loving Rick Bass’s episode! Thinking about how environmentalism and literature work together and intersect …

Great opprotunity to connect with diverse poetic voices, delving into their lives and meaning of their verses in an engaging Q

The podcast does a great job of getting at the passion behind the authors. The episode with Stephanie Feldstein stands out because I felt like I could see the whole process of developing the passion for saving wildlife. Very motivating.

As a person who enjoys reading this is a great podcast that is also informative

The Creative Process knows how to pick guests. The authors they feature are always amazing writers to pull endless inspiration and lessons from. Even topics I wouldn’t normally be interested are fascinating coming from these people’s works.

Really thoughtful conversations with both non-fiction and fiction writers. Very interesting to hear from people who are seeking objective truth as well as those who are seeking subjective understanding.

A great range of books and speakers! Inspiring as a writer/journalist to learn how to start my own independent writing project

As a writer myself, and someone with a little handful of publishing experience, it’s a breath of fresh air to hear writers talking about the process of writing, storytelling, and publishing. It’s especially encouraging to learn about the variety within those experiences—projects that didn’t come as easily others, things that needed adjusting, etc. It’s really helpful to look at a writer from the pov of their process and not always just from the pov of their finished product.

My favorite thing about this podcast is how many different voices it is able to bring in. So many podcasts focus exclusively on anglophone writers, but this one allows listeners to hear such a range. The additional focus on climate is great!

As with all of the Creative Process’s channels, the multifaceted interviews that this podcast produces fosters a fruitful dialogue between many aspects of arts, culture, and society; compiling the voices of the hosts, co-hosts, anchors, and—foremost—the artists themselves, the Creative Process forges a space that encourages diverse perspectives, a surfeit of artistic approaches, and a commentary on contemporaneous issues, all distinct within the throughline of this project at large! Definitely worth a listen!

I really enjoy listening to these episodes because if I am the most brushed up on the topic or if it is my first time hearing about the topics being discussed it is easy to follow along. The introductions really engage the audience and walk you through what is going to be the topic of conversation.

One aspect of this podcast that I really enjoy is the way that it provides a platform to hear authentic points of view and voices of authors who normally interact with their audience on the page. In doing so, there is such a personal connection that is built between writer, audience, and book in a way that I didn’t even realize that I missed!

Not only is this podcast both deeply engaging and informative, but the conversations tend to feel like individual journeys. They’re not just simple back and forths, they’re a lesson in curiosity - in the power of exploring a subject collaboratively, as Mia does with each individual interviewee. All the while, the integration of young voices adds yet another dimension of intellectual exploration, enabling these discussions to also become opportunities for cross-generational learning.

This series understands the power of literature to transform and empower. At large, the Creative Process is unusual in its scope - interviews from a diverse set of the top creative minds in arts, technology, media, environmentalism, philosophy, and spirituality among other fields of interest. Yet, what the Creative Process does really well is tie together these creative minds within a global project to educate, inform and protect the world for future generations. The production quality and music create an immersive experience, with consistent output of episodes. Each episode has a HIGHLIGHTS mini-summary if you’re on a rush and just want to digest the main points. I highly recommend the Creative Process to anyone that wants to learn from some of the greatest minds in the world.

This podcast focusing on writers and books is so beautiful. I have listened to multiple episodes and I have found every one compelling. This is my absolute favorite podcast.

What a wonderful and relevant podcast about literature and society! I really appreciate how grounded the interviews are. Both interviewer and guest really convey their beliefs clearly, and the result is a series of very moving and human discussions!

I enjoy the different perspective the creative process brings to the listeners! Many topics are very thought provoking and bring up information I did not know before but definitely want to look into, the people who tell their stories through the podcast create inspiration for all listeners.

As a student of English and aspiring playwright, I am simply enthralled by the Creative Process' dialogues with skillful, commercially successful authors. I particularly enjoy the episodes which engage with critical and/or academic literature— a genre that does not often get its due in mainstream culture. Each and every interview is educational, eye-opening, euphonious…

In his interview, I remember that Nicholas Royle says of his mother’s memoir that “it seems less a record of events than a grappling with what escapes words. Not just love and loss, but fire and air, and water and earth, smell and music, voice and touch.” This is in many ways my experience of listening - this podcast doesn’t just guide and accompany me in thinking more deeply about the words of a book/writer but also in teasing out the ideas and emotions and interconnections between them which are left unsaid, but which are left resonantly with me nonetheless. This is a very digestible but deeply engaging podcast.

I love how wide of a range of writing this podcast covers. It is a very interdisciplinary podcast in nature, which is great for the infinitely curious!

Great collection of episodes and topics. Hearing about the intent and technique of some of these authors pretty much reevaluates the views you have on these works, and there’s truly just so many different viewpoints to explore. It’s great to hear authors speak with an opportunity to add even more context and meaning to the works they’ve developed. A1.

I really enjoy the multidisciplinary content in this podcast. Thanks for bringing these people and their unique stories to us!

Debates over interpretations, enhanced by authors’ perceptions, and insights. Conversations shed light on questions of authorial, intent and the creative process.
