what i listen to while I am working

I am often asked what music I like to listen to when I am working in my studio. Well actually I don’t listen to music at all!

I love listening to podcasts.

It seems that when I am listening to a good story or an interview it seems to keep my brain busy so that I am not thinking “too much”. My left-brain is concentrating on the story and my right brain can be creative without my inner critic rearing up! Or at least that's the plan :)

I have a whole list of them and I thought I’d share them with you!

CREATIVE PODCASTS:


BUSINESS-Y PODCASTS:


STORIES / TALK:


Let me know if you have any favorites not on this list. I am always looking for new podcasts!

  1. This is very topical for me, as a crafter friend always extolls the virtues of podcasts while I (a writer) either am addicted to WFUV.org (alternative rock I suppose you could call it) while researching, or to Pablo Casals playing solo cello (while writing).

    Cannot tolerate words -- spoken or sung -- while actually writing. Need just melody.

  7. Claudine: I'm honored to be among this list. And it's a great list.

    As you said, there are still 3.5 years of weekly Art Marketing Action podcasts to be heard in the archives. I hope I can charm you with better audio in the future.

    Happy holidays!
