See you in December!

Hello Creative Coast friends! We’re going on a brief hiatus in November for Nanowrimo. We’ll be back in December/January with some fresh new interviews with creative people from around the country.

(And if you or someone you know is interested in being interviewed on CC, please shoot us a message. We’ll get back in touch with you in December đŸ™‚)

Episode 8 Show Notes

Did our talk with Charlie Wells leave you hungry for more horror? Visit these lists of fave horror podcasts from Vox and Syfy Wire to fill your ears with endless chills.

Charlie’s episode gives plenty of first-hand advice for submitting work to dramatic horror podcasts, but if you want even more, check out the NoSleep Podcast’s own recs for getting your stuff on the air.

Looking for additional insight before you submit your script? This interview with David Cumming, the NoSleep Podcast’s director, and Kc Waylan, director of the We’re Alive podcast, is a great read. 

Episode 7 Show Notes

This episode is full of practical points on being a musician, how one conveys music skills to students, and includes a creative account of how to get a guitar to a young person across the ocean.

Vijay-Kumar Solanki’s work encompasses live music, performance, teaching and learning. In his interview with us in Episode 7, he shared his view that innovation means taking something from one context and using it in a fresh way in a new context.

With that in mind, take a trip over to Planet Solanki, where Vijay teaches guitar (and some philosophy), using a common language approach to reach learners at all levels. And if you want to hear Vijay perform, keep your eye out for his bands, the Stiff Dills and LCT.

Go further in-depth with episode 6‘s interviewee, artist and activist Christina Springer, in our Essential Christina Springer YouTube playlist! Here you’ll find Christina’s Given the Circumstances video, discussed in episode 6.
