Real Talk for Creatives

A brilliant podcast and host; every edition somehow resonates with me – the guests are always honest and open about the realities and challenges within the industry. Katy seems to bring the best out of everyone and it's a real joy to listen to.

This is the definitive podcast on the creative industry. Katy Cowan is a fantastic host and interviewer. She interviews a wide spectrum of creatives from illustrators to designers to entrepreneurs. It's a great podcast that unearths the highs and lows of being a creative.

| love this podcast. It's filled with creative experts talking about their experiences in the funniest, most down-to-earth way. Instead of the serious, boring industry podcasts, this show teaches you stuff while giving you a belly laugh. There's also some welcome swearing and references to '90s culture that don't happen enough.

Hands down one of the best podcasts to listen to while working on deadlines! Straight down-to-earth talks from real people, accompanied by the host’s calming voice.

Where do I begin? This podcast is a breath of fresh air! Having listened to many of these episodes, I appreciate how Katy makes her guests feel comfortable and ready for an honest conversation. The chemistry between Katy and her guests is natural, and this is made possible by the research that Katy has done on them beforehand. This podcast has all-around good vibes and is definitely worth a listen!!!

This riveting conversation rattles between our predisposition for pessimism over optimism, how to edit your life, the dysfunction of nostalgia, the iniquity of social media, the gritty interactions of therapy, the ultimate emptiness of video games, the duration of orgasms, the delusions of drugs, the limitations of meditation, the dynamics of relationships, the joys of schadenfreude, the ubiquity of LIKES, the ambiguity of beauty, and why chasing after happiness makes us miserable.

Katy is refreshingly authentic in her approach to the world of art and creativity. Her interviews sparkle as she speaks candidly to guests, giving the listener a feast of auditory goodness. Worth listening to, whether you are a seasoned creative or an understudy of a life well lived.

One of the very best podcasts to listen to, featuring refreshingly honest and insightful conversations between the brilliant Katy Cowan and some of the world’s greatest creative minds. The episode with the legendary graphic designer Paula Scher sharing her thoughts on the rise of AI and her business advice on identifying good clients is an absolute must-listen!
