Putting the Squid to Bed is a podcast about creative people and their craft. Projects are rarely finished as much as they are surrendered. They can be like trying to tuck a squid into its bed. Just when you get two or three arms under the covers another four or five have popped back out! And that journey of discovery, creation, and surrender is what this show is about.
