    Music dance and composing
    Being able to hear the reasoning and heart and inspiration behind such creatives work is such a rarity and treat. This podcast not only answers questions about the artist past but really dives into the creative experience and the meaning and juiciness behind their work. The podcast is calming and sweet, touches the heart and is great to listen to.

    Love the Behind the Scenes Perspective
    As a lover of music, this is where you go beyond what the media presents. This is where you get to know the behind-the-scenes stories of various works of media.

    The Making of Moon Man – a truly necessary conversation
    The episode featuring Kid Cudi talks about making comics and music in an era where most of the entertainment we consume is filtered through multinational corporations and large media conglomerates. This episode, and the channel in general, convey illuminating conversations that the world is in urgent need of. I loved how The Creative Process succeeds in integrating pop culture and contemporary forms of entertainment to our social, political, and economic realities.

    Incredible and Inspiring Podcast
    Lovingly produced, carefully thorough, and insightfully piercing, the Creative Process is a one of a kind podcast. Many of the episodes revolve around environmental, spiritual, and artistic topics - with the interviews in this channel being filtered through the lens of music. Some especially impactful conversations were with Julian Lennon, Tiokasin Ghosthorse, and Michael Sticka. I, like many others, can’t wait to delve deeper into this amazing body of work.

    So many brilliant interviews!
    All of the interviews are super informative, and I loved hearing from the musical artists! They all have such interesting perspectives. The podcast spans a wide variety of genres, and it feels very comprehensive.

    stellar range
    This channel has an incredible range of voices in the music and arts. I love how these episodes in particular are produced, weaving the interview alongside musical artist’s work. The different perspectives on the purpose of art for the personal and for the public is extremely exciting. I also love hearing how all these artists got started with their work and their current projects!

    Amazing
    I love hearing the international points of view on this show. Music is not just American and I am so glad someone is interviewing people from all over
  • Hannah Lumi
    A beautiful collective
    I deeply appreciate the range of culture and life experience which is showcased here! Growing up in a cultural household, I learned from a very young age the power of music. Music and dance can breach the barrier language may create amongst people. Art expresses emotions which words cannot, and the raw creative talent and human susceptibility here is not only touching, but informative!

    A Great Resource
    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.

    A Spectacular Resource
    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!
  • Milenaroz
    Amazing!
    This podcast does an excellent job of combining environmental matters with music and the arts! I never would have thought how these topics could intertwine in the way they do through the conversations in this podcast. It is a truly informative and eye opening listen. The intersectionality between music, the arts, and the planet is such an important topic that needs to be discussed more. This podcast brings lots of awareness to these subjects.

    Beautiful Music
    Music and Dance have always had such a big role in my life, theres just so much they can do for the mind and body and they are such a major part of human life and cultures. This podcast gives these arts a place to shine and gives a platform for many different types to be shared with the listeners from around the world
  • Afcl718
    Music and the Earth
    As someone studying both music and environmental studies— two fields that are, at first look, not very connected— I strongly value and appreciate the intersection between these topics that many episodes of this channel provide. So many brilliant and fascinating voices are interviewed on this podcast, and I have learned so much from listening!
  • sabhk
    The intersection between arts and Earth
    I really enjoy that this podcast highlights the wider impact of the arts on different communities as well as the socio-political impact that art can have. Rather than portraying art as something that solely exists in a bubble, The Creative Process removes that isolation and shows how deeply art has an effect on those that it comes into contact with and the wider world.

    insightful interviews for artists
    The selection and variety of people being interviewed in these podcasts gives great insight and wise mindset stepping into the art industry. thank you creative process!
  • Henie Zhang
    Very eye-opening conversations
    This podcast has encouraged me to revive my past musical training in a different way—how to not only think ABOUT music, but think THROUGH music, is what this podcast gets at, and it’s been enthralling to listen. Mia and the interviewees bring me into how music and dance articulate questions that undergird our senses and lives on the daily, e.g., what the embodied experience is like, how to adapt to and celebrating the contingencies of life, etc. It would not be an understatement at all to say that this podcast and its wisdom have enriched and expanded my appreciation of music/composition/dance like few pieces of media have before, by introducing all these new discourses that I’ve never encountered. I learn something surprising every time.

    The creative process
    I love how the creative process covers topics of all forms, music and dance and arts are as important as sciences and this podcast show us their value
  • tramsisson
    a perfect tool for artists
    Always something new to find here. Great tool for artists of any kind starting out; getting the chance to hear the trials, tribulations, and techniques of these figures in the industry not only gives the podcast a refreshing and relatable feel, it offers insight to anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. Perfect for finding new artists and new work to fill your time.

    Love it!
    I appreciate the variety of genres this podcast explores within music and dance. Discovering styles from the commercial to concert industry is important for a young artist’s education.

    An Overflow of Good Conversation
    I love listening to the Creative Process! They bring so many interesting people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Bestselling and award-winning authors, Emmy-nominated directors, experts in social change—they have it all! I learn so much from this podcast!

    An Appreciated Nuance
    The podcast takes on both fresh and veteran interviews with thought provoking discussion. The podcast market is saturated with a over abundance of a similar “type” of interview or meaningless discussion. This is where The Creative Process distinguishes itself regarding arts, culture, the environment, politics, and science.
  • Hiya126
    Inspiring and unique interviews
    Winners of Oscar, Emmy, Tony, and Pulitzer prizes are interviewed! You gain insight on their own creative methods and motivations, and Mia asks very thought provoking questions. Notable interviewees include Neil Patrick Harris, Trish Sie, and John Powell.
