Lately from Tall Tales is a podcast that gives space to people to discuss the issues of today. The series covers a myriad of topics, gleaning insight from psychologists, experts and academics. Each episode is peppered with the real-life experiences of listeners who share details on things like their first sea swim to their enduring Taylor Swift obsessions.
Creative energy has been in short supply of late.
When faced with never-ending uncertainty, it's no surprise that we're feeling a little fatigued, distracted or ambivalent to new projects and ideas. Creativity doesn't feel like a priority right now but it might very well be the thing that gets us through. And if, like the entire Tall Tales team, you feel like you've gotten stuck in a covid creative rut, this episode might help you come out of it.
