Talking Out Your Arts is a podcast highlighting how art and creativity exists in our world, from the known to the many unexpected and often unappreciated places. From festival directors, to athletes, politicians and so on. People often think of art and creativity as an abstract activity that has no correlation to our basic existence. In this podcast we aim to uncover how artists exist across all fields, and how creativity is used to curate our everyday experiences. We talk with some of the leaders in creative fields across genres, and go further into the various facets of our working lives to look at the unexpected artists in our world. You may even find that you are an artist and you didn’t even realize it.
