Traci Thomas from The Stacks Podcast sent me here!

I don’t listen to a lot of biography podcasts so this was a nice addition to my listening.

I Love Creative Spark! It's fascinating hearing the artists perspective and inner mind on how they create. Really adds dimension to the art itself. As an artist, I love to hear how others go through the process of creating. The interviewer and producer, Joe Skinner, adds very interesting bits of information that keep the interview upbeat and exciting!

Where are the educators?

I love all the wonderful choices of creative people, but I feel you are missing out on one of the most creative groups - teachers! They spend every day thinking of creative ways to make curricula exciting for young minds. Please seek out those innovative educators who turn the subjects they teach into fascinating and inspiring learning opportunities!

Great!

A truly fascinating program that takes us behind the curtain on the top artists right now. I especially like the reevaluation of Errol Morris’ film American Dharma. Give it a listen!

Love it

Great show, informative interviews. I’d argue that the host/producer is an American master himself.

Great podcast!

Really enjoy this podcast, the guests are from a broad range of disciplines and the interviews feel personal and intimate. The interviewer does a good job of helping present the guest’s unique perspectives and it actually makes me want to look up the guests I didn’t know beforehand!

Great conversation

Wonderful to hear producer Gail Levin and Gloria Steinem have an in-depth discussion on Marilyn Monroe's significance as an American icon. Looking forward to more treasures from the American Masters vault!
