At sixteen years old, Madeleine Bradford delves into the podcast realm while guiding listeners through real issues that arise when creatives doubt the act of creation: How can I feel secure in my work when no one is validating it? How can I absorb constructive criticism while protecting my inner artist? How do creative ideas even spark in the first place? Madeleine shares her take on these questions while bringing the honesty of varying occurrences to the table. While “creativity” may be an abstract word, it is ever so tangible. “Ode to the Artist” urges its listeners to take the step to try.
