Why do we create?

Often, our motivation is money, entertainment or guilt because we feel like we “should" be doing something. Despite a long list of topics to discuss in our last episode on creative feedback, we both thought the episode felt unnatural and directionless. You might not have picked up on that because Summer saved us with her editing prowess by creating a narrative arch before we published the episode. Stephanie, known globally for her occasional bouts of brilliance, quickly realized that the ladies were lacking the reason WHY they were talking about feedback in the first place.

We accidentally on purpose continue this discussion in today’s episode by trying once and again to answer this motivational question on an episode AND show level. Do our answers make sense? (That’s not a rhetorical question, we really want to know!)

None, we are deeply in our own heads in this ep

Words we want to exist:

IRV : in real voice (as opposed to online or recorded voices. Kinda like IRL, in real life but specific to voices)

Polypodomous: working on multiple podcasts instead of just one (monopodpmous?)

Quotes:

“Let’s get meta on the meta…” -Steph on the accidental link between last week and this week’s episodes

“If the why is intrinsic and you don’t necessarily have a direction that’s still enough of a why to keep going.”-Summer
