I've recently found Fail like an artist, by two artists living in New Zealand, lots of lovely relaxed chat highlighting the downs as well as the ups of being an artist. Have a Facebook group too.

Came to recommend this one too .. sometimes they talk on a theme and sometimes it’s a bit of a therapy session. So wonderful to listen in.

I think you’d love Common Shapes by Marlee Grace. I’m taking a personal essay writing workshop with her and you two seem to be on similar wavelengths, especially when it came to the words you’d write on the edges of painting and how you prep a creative brief.

Thanks so much for sharing these, I love Art Juice and have just found a really interesting BBC podcast series called 'Witch' which explores issues such as how we are connected to the land and women and society - I think that you would find it very interesting.
