Artists Like Us is a space for deep-dive conversations with creatives you may not know yet but should. This podcast brings together a mosaic of voices—writers, dancers, musicians, performers, visual artists—each with their own stories, struggles, and unique paths in the world of art. The conversations here are candid, sometimes chaotic, and all about finding joy and purpose in the process, whether the world is watching or not. We hope you take away inspiration, and a renewed sense of how much art can mold the way we see the world and ourselves.

In our final episode for the “season,” we chat with Connor Pritchard (https://substack.com/profile/262325965-connor-pritchard) , co-creator of Workaholics, writer, and general all around very cool guy.
We discuss Connor's journey into writing, the evolution of comedy and drama in Hollywood, the importance of collaboration in writers' rooms, and the challenges of monetizing creative projects in the current landscape.
Connor shares insights on authenticity in storytelling and the necessity of having an internal champion to succeed in the industry. We get into creativity, indie everything making, and the evolving landscape of storytelling. Ever feel like you have to wear every single hat as a creative in 2025? Yeah, that’s not slowing down.
I had such a good time chatting with Connor and am happy to “end the season” on this note. A lot of great takeaways from people across all disciplines in this one. I even gave it a re-listen. We’ll be back in the fall!

In Caroline's Garden
You can also listen on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/episode/48FvVwE7HNVPxBDG4PV28r?si=7c96c11ebbab42e7), Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/artists-like-us/id1778093080), and YouTube (https://youtu.be/OJvJvDdCtNg).
Caroline in the Garden (https://carolineinthegarden.com/) invites us to learn more about her journey around being a lawyer, a mother, and finally accepting her path as an artist. Speaking with her made me feel like maybe you can have it all. So often we feel forced into one thing, when we’re all so many things.
In this episode, we go over the difficulties and importance of self-identifying as an artist, and how the timing is always right. If you weren’t convinced that age is just a number, you will be now.
Caroline is on Substack (https://substack.com/@carolineinthegarden), that’s where we met!

Artists Like Us: Artist Like Me 02
Saving Grace goes up next week!
I wanted to talk about how I’m building out cabbage house but I got too shy. I think the answer really is journaling at the end of the day. I’ve let it fall to the wayside.

Jonah and Authenticity in the Music Industry
You can also listen on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/episode/48FvVwE7HNVPxBDG4PV28r?si=7c96c11ebbab42e7), Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/artists-like-us/id1778093080), and YouTube (https://youtu.be/OJvJvDdCtNg).
Jonah Brazeau (https://www.instagram.com/jonahbrazeau/?hl=en) is a Montreal-based champion of small musicians at Secret City Records (https://www.secretcityrecords.com/). But more than that, he’s a pillar of authenticity in a world where it can seem like it’s begging for the opposite of that.
In this episode, we get really excited because we met out of the pure audacity of me inviting a stranger from the Internet to sleep on my couch (he got upgraded to bed when my roommate/best friend and I decided to cuddle up instead and let him have mine).
It’s hard to believe that someone as sweet and kind as Jonah can not only “hack it,” in the industry, but still lets it bring so much joy to his being. If you need someone to believe in you, Jonah is your guy. This has to be the most positive, encouraging, calming, sweetest as pie episode that we’ve done yet.
Love you, Jonah!

Georg Spoo, Dr. Georg Spoo, is a friend of the cabbage house and the esteemed guest of tomorrow’s Salon (https://cabbagehouse.substack.com/p/the-cabbage-salon-would-like-to-invite). We wanted to sit down with him ahead of the podcast to bring one of our many late night conversations to a more polished light.
We talk about creativity. And boy is there a lot to hecking talk about. Like a true philosophical conversation, we don’t come to a very concrete answer. But we do have a lot of fun. Listen in to explore with us, disagree, agree, and say things like “I never thought about it that way.”
It is always a pleasure to get existential with my dear friend! And we hope to see you all tomorrow (https://lu.ma/43m8iiy5) <3.

Artists Like Us: Artist Like Me 01
Video here (https://open.substack.com/pub/cabbagehouse/p/artists-like-us-artist-like-me-01?r=59dd3&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false) (for people listening on their Podcast players!)
Today’s episode is just me! It’s less than a half hour long and I was pretty concerned about rambling and running out of things to say. I did both <3
The next one of these will be more polished (maybe). But a fun little half hour dolo episode of just me feels like a thing I should do every once in a while. I’m calling it “Artist Like Me.”
Especially as I flesh out cabbage house more (so many cool things happening), and get deeper into putting on Saving Grace, a check in would be nice.
The event (https://lu.ma/43m8iiy5) I mentioned.
Pilgrimagic (https://pilgrimagic.substack.com/) is the Substack I mention about the magic of going for walks. I just added it to my “recommended,” as well.
Like, comment, subscribe, come along for the ride.

DJ Hip Stir Brings Beats, Babes, and BCommunity
You can also listen on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/episode/48FvVwE7HNVPxBDG4PV28r?si=7c96c11ebbab42e7), Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/artists-like-us/id1778093080), and YouTube (https://youtu.be/OJvJvDdCtNg).
DJ Hip Stir (https://www.instagram.com/djhipstir) is an Austin based DJ, producer, festival producer, music label owner, music producer, and will acquire more hats as the industry demands. A teacher first, aka Kelsea started DJing in Hanoi with SYSter sounds (https://www.instagram.com/syssistersounds/) and brought that same energy woman and femme-fronting community back to the states with her. In the time she’s been back, she’s made a name for herself locally and beyond.
In this episode we talk about quitting your job, starting America’s first and only electronic music festival (https://www.instagram.com/babestockfest/) highlighting women artists, and how to get from that A to B I just mentioned. Choosing to take control of your career in an industry where they really want you not to do that is no small feat. Hip Stir’s had many a problems that have needed creative solutions. And all the things you hear about being a woman in the music industry are true. But you never doubted that, right?
Hip Stir’s perseverance and good spirit are a good reminder of what you can get done when you really really want something done. The phrase that comes to mind thinking about our convo is “If you want something done right, do it yourself.” Except you also need community, of course.
Thank you for the motivation! And maybe a return to my DJ days is in the works because of it.

Aziza is the Artist's Art Worker
Aziza (https://aziza.fun/) is a Karachi-born illustrator living and working in Berlin. Her personal and professional art is based around collectivism and spreading voices for vulnerable people who are unheard. She walks the walk and talks the talk. If you have nothing but good things to say about Germany, this is not the episode for you. We don’t shy away from talking about oppression, genocide, political silence, and politics that silence.
As an art worker, Aziza’s day to day shies away from what one may imagine a typical artist does. But most art can’t get done without the art worker to support. Community activism is a need and not a want yesterday and today. Further resources for topics mentioned in this episode are @strikegermany (https://www.instagram.com/strikegermany/?hl=en) and @archive_of_silence (http://archive_of_silence). Aziza followed up with an email:
Another thing I got caught up with in the last couple of weeks was a new resolution passed by the German government that severely limits freedom of speech particularly for artists, and threatens expulsions for students protesting the Israeli genocide and also deportation and revoking of nationality for cultural workers who do the same. This, on top of cutting public funding for artists and arts spaces whose activities are deemed "anti-semitic", which we already discussed in the episode. The resolution also specifically labels "Middle Eastern and North African people" as its targets.
I hope this episode inspires an outrage for and interest in justice and equality.
