About This Podcast

Waking the Whispers is an Open Mic podcast meant to elevate the voices of every day artists to inspire you to create. This podcast is for those of us who feel the call to create, and who long to tap into the deep sense that there’s something that connects all of us, to share belonging through the conduit of artistic expression, creativity, and inspiration. Each episode features an amateur artist reading or performing a piece of written art followed by a discussion with them about their art and what inspires them. Their works and reflections, will inspire you to connect with your creativity and express yourself to the world in whatever way makes you unique.
