Welcome to our Christmas episode of Radio Free Endor #119 And its The Podcast Before Christmas.. After an eight-month break, Chris and I are finally back behind the mics, catching up on what we've been up to — from new jobs to changing tech and how it's all shaken up our day-to-day lives. We dive headfirst into the latest Star Wars news, breaking down recent trailers and chatting about the much-talked-about partnership between Disney and OpenAI. That leads us into a wider discussion about AI, creativity, and the future of content creation, and how this tech could shape entertainment going forward. There's plenty of classic Radio Free Endor chatter too — including some brilliant Star Wars merchandise, from themed dartboards and darts to collectibles that really caught our eye. We also wander into gaming territory, talking about highlights from The Game Awards, the reveal of Star Wars Galactic Racer, and the long-awaited Knights of the Old Republic remake. Along the way, we touch on everything from Tomb Raider's future, Columbia's Endor collection, and even some unexpected tech talk (yes, including cars and LIDAR). It's a relaxed, festive catch-up packed with Star Wars, gaming, tech, and the usual Endor-fuelled tangents. Grab a drink, settle in, and join us back on Endor.

I said what I said. In this episode, I go off on four creative hot takes I've been sitting on for way too long: why “last meeting theory” feels fake and often excuses a lack of effort in creative relationships, how the diamond paradox is wildly skewed when it comes to creative labor, and what it actually means to be betrayed in an industry that preaches collaboration while moving shady behind the scenes. This is a messy, honest rant about creativity, power, effort, and the myths we're told to accept if we want to “make it.”

In this episode, we take a radical feminist look at why the creative industry remains inaccessible for many women. We talk about the pressure to work for free, the expectation to prove yourself before being taken seriously, and how this creates a barrier that women, especially those without financial safety nets, cannot cross. We also discuss the lack of women in leadership roles, the gatekeeping that happens in award jurys, and how decision making power is still concentrated in the hands of men. A conversation about access, opportunity, and the hidden costs of succeeding in the creative industry.

In this heartfelt pre-Christmas solo episode of A Voice and Beyond, Dr. Marisa Lee Naismith explores the most essential theme of all: connection.Through honest storytelling and reflection, Marisa shares how the past year reminded her of three powerful truths:The importance of connection to others - showing up, forgiving, and being truly present.The necessity of connection to ourselves - listening inward, setting boundaries, and nurturing our mental and emotional health.And the joy of connection to who we're becoming - embracing growth, realignment, and intention as we step into a new year.This episode is a love letter to life's simplest but most profound gifts: presence, gratitude, and authenticity.✨ In this episode, you'll learn:How to reflect on your year with grace and compassion.The difference between being surrounded and being truly connected.Why self-connection is the foundation of all meaningful relationships.How to realign your energy and manifest your next chapter with purpose.Simple, powerful ways to reconnect with joy and intention this holiday season.If you're ready to close the year with a full heart and a clear vision, this episode will remind you that you already have everything you need - right here, right now.Find Marisa online: Website: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmarisaleenaismith/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmarisaleenaismith/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marisa.lee.12 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@avoiceandbeyond3519/videos Resources: MLN Coaching Program: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/mentoring/ Download your eBook: Thriving in a Creative Industry: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/product/ebook-thriving-in-a-creative-industry-dr-marisa-lee-naismith/ Like this episode?

In this episode, we look at the feminist history of design and how the industry we know today was shaped by decisions, structures, and narratives that left many women out of the story. We explore how early design movements pushed women into “craft” while men defined what counted as “design,” why credit was unevenly distributed, and how these patterns still show up in creative work today. A conversation about recognition, visibility, and understanding the systems we inherit as creatives.

Do you have any thoughts or ideas about the show? Send us a text! Hello Creators,Ever meet a classic through its film cousins first? Join our final Guest Reader of 2025, trans voice actor Robyn McConnell, as she traces the surprising lineage between Treasure Planet and Muppets Treasure Island and the book that started it all—then slip into a soft, steady reading of Stevenson's opening chapter.Robyn shares how adaptations simplify early stakes, why some versions erase Jim Hawkins' father, and what that choice does to the mood of the Admiral Benbow. Together we map what the films kept—the songs, the myth, the promise of danger—and what the novel restores: the quiet dread of waiting, the texture of a frayed coat, the weight of a debt unpaid. It's a guided rediscovery that treats story as both study and sanctuary.From the captain's first knock to Dr Livesey's unflinching rebuke, the chapter unfolds in calm detail. Robyn's performance stays warm and restrained, giving you space to breathe while keeping the thread of the tale clear. If you've only known the story through animation and puppets, you'll hear why the original opening is a masterclass in atmosphere—rich, patient, and haunting in the gentlest way.If you enjoy thoughtful storytelling, cosy narration, and a little literary myth-busting, this one's for you. Follow for more sleep-friendly readings, share with a friend who needs a calmer night, and leave a quick review to help others find their way to rest.Sweet Dreams,Florence xFollow Robyn:https://rmcconnellva.carrd.co/Instagram: @cubixfailsSupport the showOur Links: www.sleeplesscreativespodcast.co.uk Our producer Instagram Linkedin Do you want to feature as one of our Guest Readers in your own special episode?

Each episode of Season 14 will feature one to two different interviews conducted by CCI students, exploring different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries. On today's episode we begin with Daylen Motamed who sits down with Amalia Serrano to discuss the world of graphic design. Amalia starts the interview with her lifelong love of creating art, and how she chose graphic design as her career path.  Their conversation touches on topics that are relevant to creatives working in CCI such as how to handle rejection, navigating creative freedom, strategies for dealing with art fatigue and something that is particularly relevant in today's world, conquering AI fear. This candid and inspiring conversation invites listeners to reflect on their own relationship with creativity and change. The episode concludes with Vendela Smedeby and her interview with photographer Jena Hess. To begin Jena shares how her passion began at a young age, growing up surrounded by cameras and fascinated by capturing the world around her. They discuss how A spontaneous opportunity to work alongside professional photographers inspired her to turn photography into a career, and how she now runs a thriving personal business that allows her to offer clients the same meaningful, personal experience she once had. The pair also cover how Jena's creative style has evolved, leaning toward authenticity and cinematic storytelling. She and Vendela discuss the pressures of sustaining creativity, the reality of burnout, and the ongoing process of growth that all artists experience.

On one side, there's the protected solitude every creator needs: the quiet pass where you can be wrong in private, find the frame, and follow intuition without a chorus in your ear. On the other side, there's the charge you only get in a room full of capable people. Being back on a large production rekindled that feeling—clear roles, shared language, and the thrill of adding a small but meaningful piece to something thousands will experience. We unpack the difference between leadership and tyranny, how to invite notes that respect intent, and the sequencing that keeps collaboration from becoming micromanagement: make it, then collaborate.We also get practical about attention. Phones steal rooms. Presence creates rooms. We trade stories about phone-free sets, building spaces that force focus, and experimenting with dumb phones to defend deep work. Along the way we spotlight the hidden collaborators behind “solo” wins—editors, producers, confidants, and the friend who quietly says, this scene drags—and why the best teams treat feedback like a craft, not a power move.If you've wondered when to protect your vision and when to call the room, this conversation offers a playbook: sequence feedback, name the goal, empower specialists, and design environments where attention can't leak. Subscribe, share with a teammate who makes you braver, and tell us: when do you go solo, and when do you bring in the chorus? -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review. We read and appreciate all of them. Thanks for listening, and we'll see you in the next episode.

Do you have any thoughts or ideas about the show? Send us a text! Hello Creators,A cloudy October evening begs for a story that knows the road home. We settle into the second half of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow with a reading designed to calm the mind while letting the imagination wander. From the last warmth of a bustling harvest party to the hush of a moonless lane, you'll feel the season in full: apples stacked high, violin strings scraping time, and a table so generous it softens even a schoolmaster's pride.Rivalries smoulder as Brom Bones needles Ichabod with barnyard pranks and knowing smiles. The dance ends, the porch grows quiet, and talk drifts toward the kind of lore that clings to old places—war exploits retold by pipe-glow, a churchyard set among elms, and a rider who doesn't need a head to command attention. We trace the way stories become landmarks, how communities keep memory alive, and why belief itself can shape the turn of a road. The chase that follows is all suggestion and echo: branches creak, water darkens, a bridge waits like a final rule. When the hammer falls, it's a pumpkin, a laugh, and a mystery the village never fully resolves.Told in a gentle, sleep-friendly cadence, this reading pairs classic gothic atmosphere with modern rest cues: rich sensory scenes, measured pacing, and space to breathe. If you're here for Halloween comfort, folklore history, or simply a mindful wind-down, you'll find a lantern-lit path to quieter thoughts and better sleep. Press play, get cozy, and tell us after: prank or phantom? Subscribe or share with a friend who loves autumn nights, and leave a review to help more sleepy creatives, just like you, to find the show.Sweet Dreams,Florence xSupport the showOur Links: www.sleeplesscreativespodcast.co.uk Our producer Instagram Linkedin Do you want to feature as one of our Guest Readers in your own special episode?

Swipe once and everything changes: not just your screen, but the law that decides who owns the look and feel of our digital world. We dig into how design law—built for chairs, lamps, and sneakers—now grapples with GUIs, animations, and metaverse wearables, and why that shift is reshaping how creators protect their work. From the basics of industrial design rights to the thorny ordinary observer test, we explain how novelty, individual character, and visibility play out when beauty lives in motion, frames per second, and immersive spaces.We walk through pivotal cases across the United States, China, and India, showing where courts drew hard lines on virtual depictions and where they reimagined who “makes” a product when software renders the interface in users' hands. Then we explore major reforms in the EU, Japan, Brazil, Canada, and beyond, where lawmakers explicitly recognize non-physical products, GUIs, icons, typefaces, animations, and spatial AR/VR arrangements. If you design apps, skins, or 3D experiences, this is the practical roadmap you need to understand registration hurdles, frame-based filings for animated designs, and emerging standards for comparing interfaces under real-world use.We don't stop at doctrine. Expect clear takeaways on building a layered IP strategy—combining design registrations with trademarks and copyright—plus guidance on liability in digital ecosystems where developers create, platforms distribute, and millions of users display. We also tackle metaverse questions: when does copying a virtual jacket cross into infringement, and how should creators think about identity, status, and interoperability across platforms? By the end, you'll see why the line between tangible and digital design is fading—and how that gives creators confidence to innovate boldly while staying protected.If this conversation sparks ideas, share it with a designer or founder in your life, subscribe for future deep dives, and leave a quick review to help more creators find the show.Check out "Protection for the Inventive Mind" – available now on Amazon in print and Kindle formats.Send us a textSupport the show

Welcome to a very special live edition of the Women Authors of Achievement Podcast, hosted for the first time in UK, right here at the Amano Hotel Skybar in London, overlooking Covent Garden. My guest today is Nikki Trott, strategist, podcast host and author of her new book Sacred Business. Her story bridges two worlds: the ambitious drive of London's fashion and branding industry, and the expansive, intuitive energy she discovered in Berlin.Nikki started out leading global fashion and lifestyle campaigns, working with big names across London and New York. But at some point, success as she knew it started to feel off. Thats when she made a radical choice, she left it all behind to follow a different kind of calling.In this conversation, we talk about what it means to walk away from conventional success, how Berlin helped her reconnect with her intuition, and why business can, and should, be an expression of who we are at our core.If you're in a moment of transition or simply craving more purpose in your work, hear this episode!Read more about the Women Authors of Achievement (WAA) Podcast via waa.berlin/aboutFollow us on Instagram & find us on LinkedInSubscribe to our newsletter via waa.berlin/newsletter ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Creative work has always had its ups and downs, but lately the dips feel longer and the competition sharper. Budgets that once seemed safe are now under constant pressure, and clients expect more for less—often faster than before. Technology keeps shifting the rules, blurring the lines between what used to be specialized skills. For agencies and production companies, it's not just about making great work anymore—it's about proving you're still essential in a market that's always moving the goalposts. https://youtu.be/UhfyKQnkoxs?si=Z_zoEQs5FUGq1Prc Ross MacRae, founder of BikiniList and AgencySource, has spent over three decades helping creative teams grow and adapt. Today, he addresses how agencies can weather industry slowdowns by focusing on consistent networking and relationship building. He stresses the need to stay visible, even when work is scarce, and to nurture client trust over time. His advice centered on steady outreach, strategic positioning, and resilience in shifting markets. Stay tuned! Quotes: “If change is a constant part of what we do, then we need to accept that when things change outside our control, we can use the opportunities that presents—because change isn't all bad.” “You've got to give yourself a default diary—a timetable that allows you time in your week, every week, to do networking and pipeline. You must, even if you're frantic and busy.” “We've always listened to what our prospective and existing customers say to us to try and find out how we can help them in this new way of doing business.” Resources: The New Business platform for Agencies, Production & Reps | Agency Source Connect with Ross MacRae on LinkedIn

Check out my Free Brainstorming Workshop: https://mightyartisan.com/worldbuilding Learn to silence your inner critic. Ignite creative ideas. And watch a live demo of these techniques in action.Artists have this love-hate relationship with deadlines - they stress us out and make us compromise our work, but they also force us to finish things and can actually unlock creative flow.Professional artist deadline anxiety emerges from job descriptions mentioning tight deadlines and high-pressure environments. Most artists worry whether they need to compete purely on speed, creating fear that everyone expects perfection immediately or they won't get employed. This relationship with deadlines becomes particularly challenging in concept art and commercial illustration where strict deadlines are common.This episode explores three key aspects of professional deadlines: why reliability and speed matter as much as quality in professional art careers, the reality of professional environments including crunch culture context and what employers actually expect from new artists, and practical strategies for building speed and meeting industry-specific deadline requirements systematically.The discussion covers how speed functions as a learnable skill rather than inherent talent, why the intersection of quality and speed creates competitive advantages, and frameworks for researching and practicing industry-specific time expectations. Key elements include understanding the speed-quality-cost relationship, building deadline confidence through systematic practice, and recognizing deadlines as completion enablers rather than creativity destroyers.CHAPTERS:00:00 Intro01:44 Welcome03:00 The Professional Artist Anxiety08:38 Why Deadlines Matter in Professional Art23:02 The Reality of Professional Environments  44:28 How to Build Speed and Meet Professional Deadlines01:03:24 The Analytical Takeaway01:07:16 The Simple Takeaway01:07:44 The Practical Takeaway01:15:11 The Philosophical Takeaway01:20:31 OutroThe Visual Scholar Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.

How does sociology help to explain modern life? In A Sociology of Awkwardness: On Social Interactions Going Wrong (Routledge, 2025)Pauwke Berkers, a full professor Sociology of Popular Music at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, and Yosha Wijngaarden, an assistant professor of Media and Creative Industries at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, examine how people interact in settings as diverse as work, everyday life, self-help and even contemporary dating. Alongside this rich empirical research, the book outlines a uniquely sociological approach to awkwardness, displacing the idea that it is a personal characteristic and showing how both the idea of awkwardness and people's experiences around it are closely associated with social contexts and constructions. The book will be of interest to anyone who has ever felt awkward! It is available open access here Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's episode of Play It Brave, I'm joined by my dear friend, the incredible creative and leader, Carrie Moe. Carrie is someone I deeply admire—not only because of her talent (she's styled for brands like Ritz-Carlton, Fujifilm, and Berta Bridal, and been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, The Knot, and Brides), but because of the way she approaches her work with confidence, creativity, and so much integrity. We dive into: ✨ Why collaboration is more powerful than competition in the creative industry. ✨ The myth of “falling behind” and how to release the pressure to keep up. ✨ What it means to value your time and treat yourself as a luxury brand. ✨ The importance of community, networking, and in-person connection for growing your career. ✨ How saying no to misaligned opportunities can open the door to bigger, more aligned “yeses.” We also talk about the Hybrid Collective Conference, which is coming to Charleston in 2026. Hybrid has been one of my favorite places to teach, learn, and connect since 2017, and Carrie shares so beautifully about why it continues to be such a transformative space for photographers and creatives. This conversation is a reminder that your artistry is yours alone. The way you see, create, and bring beauty into the world cannot be replicated—and that's exactly what makes it valuable.
