THIS IS A SEGMENT FROM AN EXCLUSIVE PATREON EPISODEIn this episode of Creative Risk, Mike and Joshua tackle Declan Donnellan's latest book, The Actor and the Space, while reflecting on their own artistic journeys. Kicking things off, Mike shares his post-show blues after the closing of Anything Goes, questioning whether musical theater might be his next frontier.From there, the discussion delves into Donnellan's revolutionary ideas: rejecting traditional actor training, focusing on what happens outside the scene, and exploring how actors “live in the space” of the characters instead of transforming into them. They debate Donnellan's rules of space and what it means to take a “horizontal” rather than a godlike perspective as an actor.Passions run high as the duo argues over the value of “wants” and “objectives” in training, actor responsibility as team players, and the dogmatic nature of modern acting techniques. Joshua accuses Mike of elitism, while Mike defends his approach, leading to fiery yet insightful exchanges about what makes acting resonate.Finally, the episode lands on personal revelations about their craft and the evolving journey of being an artist in a shifting creative landscape.— Thanks for watching!

In this bold and possibly cancel-provoking episode of CREATIVE RISK, Joshua and Mike unpack the shockwaves of Trump's 2024 re-election—12 days after the fact. As two self-proclaimed liberals who didn't (and wouldn't) vote for Trump, they take a critical look at the systemic shifts this election represents. With an unflinching eye on the rise of populism and the decline of technocratic, expertise-driven systems, the conversation goes beyond the political headlines to examine what this means for the arts, entertainment, and the creative community as a whole.Why are Hollywood and Broadway so out of touch with cultural shifts? Is the bureaucratic bloat of these institutions stifling innovation? The boys tackle the decline of legacy entertainment, the rise of alternative media, and whether the transformation of art from entertainment to education has helped or hurt its cultural relevance. Most importantly, they explore how artists can adapt: Should actors market to their insular industry bubbles or embrace a broader, populist approach to connect with audiences? Full of historical context, tough love, and disclaimers galore, this episode challenges the status quo and calls for a new vision for artist sustainability in a rapidly changing world.

THIS IS A SEGMENT FROM AN EXCLUSIVE PATREON EPISODEWe start in an existential rabbit hole talking about dead stars and The Great Year (watch Joshua's visible frustration on YouTube) but quickly course correct in this un-PC episode, where we dive deep into the intersection of talent, appearance, and inclusivity in Hollywood and beyond.We share personal stories of losing roles based on their looks—Joshua's Broadway weight-loss ultimatum and Mike's take on why diversity in casting still favors people who look like models. Together, they unpack the paradox: is Hollywood moving toward authenticity or still clinging to aspirational beauty? Does representation include a broader range of appearances, or is it just a rebrand of the same old standards? With humor, tough love, and a lot of disagreement along the way, they ask the hard questions about whether the industry's push for relevance is working and whether actors can ever take "looks-based" casting personally. Spoiler: Mike's offer to be Joshua's stylist might be the funniest part of the episode.This is the episode you'll only get on Patreon. Don't miss it.— Thanks for watching!

This episode starts with a cosmic twist—aliens, ghosts, and Joshua's unforgettable medium training (yes, a ghost may have crossed a boundary). But things quickly get grounded as the boys dive into the complexities of practicing gratitude as artists. Why is it so hard for actors, often stuck in survival mode, to embrace true gratitude? And what happens when gratitude becomes phony or self-serving, ultimately doing more harm than good? They also tackle gratitude in the age of cancel culture, exploring how it fits into a world of rigid narratives and heightened accountability. Rather than weakening our advocacy, they argue that genuine gratitude can make us stronger, offering resilience and perspective in a tough industry. Equal parts irreverent and insightful, this episode unpacks how gratitude, when done right, can be a transformative force in our personal and creative lives. — Thanks for watching!

In this solo episode of CREATIVE RISK, Joshua tackles one of the most personal and complex challenges an artist can face: starting a family. From navigating the decision to have kids to balancing survival jobs with creative opportunities, he talks with several actors with children or considering having children to break down what it takes to be both a dedicated parent and a working actor. Drawing on their real stories and practical advice, they explore the giant puzzle of raising kids while pursuing an acting career, including negotiating responsibilities with a partner, finding childcare, and even shifting from "furry babies" to real ones.Learn more about KEEPIN IT REELS VO:www.keepinitreelsvo.comEmail anna@keepinitreelsvo.com and mention Creative Risk for 10% off!Learn more about TIN CHURCH:OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 23 AT THE CHAIN THEATER IN NYCwww.insideoffthewall.comUSE CODE TA 24 FOR 50% OFF—Learn more about JOY AND THE WILDFIRE:www.joyandthewildfire.comListen to “Shouldn't I Be Older”Listen to “Tears in Brooklyn”https://open.spotify.com/track/1JMO5057tlG1e7zaIAtXIi?si=d006f56693fa415fhttps://instagram.com/joyandthewildfireEp #44 of Creative Risk— Thanks for watching!

In this spooky episode, the boys dive into the wildly popular genre of horror, unpacking why it remains a favorite among filmmakers, self-producers, and audiences alike. Horror has always been about high-impact storytelling on a shoestring budget - films that often times start with modest budgets and explode into massive box-office hits, demonstrating the incredible ROI that this genre offers.In this episode we chat about this massive financial potential and how it can be a launchpad for filmmakers. Although there is global appeal and trailblazers like A24 and Blumhouse have continued to find success, the question remains whether or not it is fail proof in the increasingly unstable world of entertainment. Tune in as we discuss the sustainability of low-budget horror, its vibrant fan communities, and why the genre remains a goldmine for storytellers—even during these tough times.Learn more about TIN CHURCH:OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 23 AT THE CHAIN THEATER IN NYCwww.insideoffthewall.comUSE CODE TA 24 FOR 50% OFF—Learn more about JOY AND THE WILDFIRE:www.joyandthewildfire.comListen to “Shouldn't I Be Older”Listen to “Tears in Brooklyn”https://open.spotify.com/track/1JMO5057tlG1e7zaIAtXIi?si=d006f56693fa415fhttps://instagram.com/joyandthewildfire—Learn more about GABRIEL AIELLO III:www.gabeaielloart.comwww.instagram.com/aiellostudio EPISODE #42 of CREATIVE RISK— Thanks for watching!

In this episode, we sit down with Ari Roth—producer, playwright, dramaturg, educator, and former Artistic Director of Theater J, as well as the founder of Mosaic Theater Company of DC. A Chicago native and child of Holocaust refugees, Roth's career has been anything but smooth. He has consistently sought out the gray areas in a theater landscape that's become rigidly binary and moralistic.Now, as the founding artistic producing partner of Voices Festival Productions, Roth continues to challenge the status quo through bold, intercultural storytelling. Voices Festival Productions brings to life shows that explore the complexities of Middle Eastern conflicts and the deep divides within the U.S., daring to engage with ideas that mainstream theater often avoids.In this candid conversation, Roth shares how he's remained “uncancellable” despite a career rife with conflict and opposition. We dive into the politics of American theater, its recent “reckoning,” and why the reckoning probably needs its own reckoning and the issues of what he calls “the ladder of victimization.” Throughout it all, Roth remains committed to his artistic values—proving that even in the face of intense backlash, authenticity and courage can't be silenced.Tune in now for an episode that explores art, politics, and the power of staying true to your vision.Learn more about Voices Festival ProductionsEPISODE #38 of CREATIVE RISK— Thanks for watching!

If Lindy and Meagan had a podcast back in June 2023, this episode would have been soooo timely. But they didn't. So they're covering the most important story of that year here and now and that is…the implosion of the Titan submersible. BUT BEFORE WE DIVE INTO THAT, we're back on our endless, increasingly appalling, and all-encompassing RFK, Jr. beat, which brings us swiftly to Segment P.U.B.E.S.
