How good are the arts?! How good are people who work in the arts?! Wouldn’t it be awesome if someone interviewed a bunch of these creative people and made a podcast for everyone to listen to?! Well, you’re in luck!

Welcome to The Creative Pod, an Australian-based podcast where I, Leya Mackus, chat to an array of artsy individuals working across various creative industries.

Join me as I find out about what they do, why they do it, and discuss the importance of arts in our world today. Each episode, I will speak with a creative to hear about the goings-on in their creative life and in their pocket of the arts world. Think performers, directors, musicians, writers, actors, dancers, artists, designers, etc. The intention is to highlight the incredible work and people within Australia’s creative industries, and bring insight and inspiration to other existing or aspiring creatives and young people.

We’ll unpack different creative industries, opportunities, experiences, and challenges (and goodness knows there are lots of those in the arts!), as well as get inspired by some of the brilliant things that are happening within our country and beyond. And, most importantly, we’ll hear from a variety of people who know it best, just why the arts are so important in our lives.

This podcast is recorded by Radio Carrum, at Karrum Karrum, on the lands of the Bunurong People. I pay my respects to Indigenous Peoples past and present, and feel honoured to share creative stories and conversations on the land where countless creatives and stories have come before me.
