About This Podcast

Ever see someone who has paint on their pants, tattoo sleeves, an asymmetrical haircut, and someone exclaims that guy/girl must be an artist? These are not the creatives I seek out to interview. There’s a romantic notion that artists need to be eccentric, but the real oddities usually happen behind closed doors. Explore the unconventional in the creative process through interviews with artists, and other creative types with host and artist Jeffrey Morabito.
