    Enjoyed this podcast very much, listening to various creators sharing their insights, and seeing how different topics in contemporary discourse crosses over in this podcast in a very natural and conversational manner, and inspires space for meditation and reflection on these topics.

    Thoughtful and Engaging
    This is a great podcast that explores a lot of complex ideas and philosophy in a way that is engaging and inviting. I found myself being really captivated and entertained.
  • Brichman1
    Fun reflection experience
    Listening to well thought out people speak about their passions could not more fun and impacting. All these episodes are engrossing, educating, and entertaining, with the ability to have you reflecting after every question and answer. With the combination of unique enthustic guests and Mia Funk along with her student co hosts, every conversation has the power to inspire and educate every any person. I enjoy the new knowledge and views I gain after any episode I listen to. Full of engaging questions and passionate answers, this podcast is so much fun to listen to for inquisitive minded individuals.
  • S. Classen
    Love this!
    The Philosophy, Ideas, Critical thinking and Ethics show is an inspiring and thoughtful medium of cultural and artistic exploration that follows the work and stories of many knowledgeable individuals providing new perspectives and various novel ways of thinking on philosophical dialogue. Listening to these episodes is an immersive experience that exposed me to philosophical questions and topics that aren’t always discussed in a conventional way of learning. Not only was I presented with the challenge of unpacking different philosophical inquiries and questions but was also able to gain a new appreciation of different ideas and beliefs systems that are divulged through the discussion of media and written works which illuminate how the world has and is changing through a philosophical lens. I very much enjoyed listening to the various hosts and am excited about the following episodes to come. I would highly recommend keeping up the new and upcoming episodes!
  • dev.con
    Insightful
    There is so much to learn from those who think about thinking! I am glad there are so many different thinkers interviewed here. It means I get to understand more about this interesting and complex field
  • Virgi2.0
    PhD who? We can all be philosophers now!
    With its rotating cast of rockstar philosophers and theorists as well as artists and scientists fence-hopping into critical discourse, this channel is everything I could have ever dreamed of. Besides my own personal fangirling over philosophy celebrities like Peter Singer, this channel’s awesomeness has everything to do with the way that it makes complex concepts explicit and accessible. Not to mention Mia Funk’s insightful questions that push our favorite thinkers to oust hypotheticals in favor of real-life implications. I’ve always been interested in finding ways to mobilize hardcore theory into policy domains. It’s so refreshing to find a podcast actively doing this kind of work!
  • Hannah Lumi
    Stimulating!
    Creativity/introspection is synonymous with philosophy in my eyes, in a world where the answers to our inquires are the one’s which we invent ourselves. I love listening to these critical ideas with the range that this podcast provides. Mia does an incredible job of allowing for the creative uniqueness of every guest to shine through!
  • Socorro369
    Engaging
    Listeners can expect to hear about the guests' personal experiences, artistic practices, and thoughts on creativity. The inclusion of students and universities in the discussions adds an educational aspect to the podcast. It's a great listen for anyone interested in the arts, philosophy, and creative thinking.
  • aarushi303

  • camiils
    So glad to have found this podcast!
    Creative Process podcast engages in conversations with creatives and philosophers, they stimulate curiosity, inspire lifelong learning, and contribute to personal growth and intellectual fulfillment for listeners, so informative and mind opening
  • bboone.eli
    Fecund creativity and insightful dialogues
    As with many of The Creative Process’s channels, the multifaceted interviews that this podcast producers fosters a fruitful dialogue between many aspects of arts, culture, and society; compiling voices of hosts, co-hosts, anchors, and the artists themselves, the Creative Process creates a space that encourages diverse perspectives and a surfeit of artistic approaches, commentary on contemporaneous issues, and a narrative throughline persistent through this project at large! Definitely worth a listen, and each channel is a joy to dive in to.
  • graceincolorado
    A Lesson in Curiosity
    Not only is this podcast both deeply engaging and informative, but the conversations tend to feel like individual journeys. They’re not just simple back and forths, they’re a lesson in curiosity - in the power of exploring a subject collaboratively, as Mia does with each individual interviewee. All the while, the integration of young voices adds yet another dimension of intellectual exploration, enabling these discussions to also become opportunities for cross-generational learning.
  • Zachlw721
    Diverse Perspectives, Creative Minds
    This series gets you thinking about important social justice issues from an ethics perspective! At large, the Creative Process podcast is unusual in its scope - interviews from a diverse set of the top creative minds in arts, technology, media, environmentalism, philosophy, and spirituality among other fields of interest. Yet, what the Creative Process does really well is tie together these creative minds within a global project to educate, inform and protect the world for future generations. The production quality and music create an immersive experience, with consistent output of episodes. Each episode has a HIGHLIGHTS mini-summary if you’re on a rush and just want to digest the main points. I highly recommend the Creative Process to anyone that wants to learn from some of the greatest minds in the world.

    Rethinking Our World
    Im really loving this series! You can’t go wrong with any series by the Creative Process, but these discussions have encouraged me to think deeply about my actions. Highly recommend!

    The Creative process
    I enjoy the different perspective the creative process brings to the listeners! Many topics are very thought provoking and bring up information I did not know before but definitely want to look into, the people who tell their stories through the podcast create inspiration for all listeners.
  • artsactivist
    Highly recommended. Absolutely love this podcast!

    Fascinating
    The interviewees of this podcast are so interesting, and this is something anyone can listen to, even those who are new to philosophy or critical thinking. Great for students and academics as well!

    An Insider View
    I appreciate being able to listen to the perspectives of the many speakers featured, and saw how that influenced their approach. Broadcasting and publicizing insight from the speakers themselves helps us understand the meaning behind their work, and The Creative Process does a wonderful job with this!
  • ajhkopYuoljjnl
    Ideas in critical thinking discussed indepth
    Sharpens your curiosity. This show is for people searching for a purpose and meaning.
  • princesssarah1216
    Could talk about these topics for hours!
    A personal stand-out from these interviews is the one with Todd Kashdan. It’s so refreshing hearing notable people talk so honestly about the importance of a divergence in thought.
  • 29clairet
    Thought-provoking!!
    This channel is wonderful because “philosophy, critical thinking and ethics” covers such a great range of topics. I listened to Anna Lembke’s episode on the addictive aspects of society, which made me rethink my own consumption habits. I also listened to Steve Biddulph, which offered a new perspective on how we deal with our thoughts and emotions. Overall, I think listening to this channel one episode at a time could make a person a lot smarter in a lot of different areas, and also spark your interest in areas you may never have given much thought to
  • thegirlwiththehood
    Thought-provoking material
    This podcast is one of my favorites because it focuses on exploring the creative minds of accomplished people. By getting an in-depth look into these individuals’ minds, the material regarding the success of their artistic practices is thought-provoking and serves as a great learning opportunity for listeners to follow in their footsteps.
  • calliemcho
    Accessible and Interesting
    This podcast makes complicated, often abstract ideas accessible, digestible and interesting to the public. If you are interested in philosophy or theoretical thinking, this podcast makes those ideas more than accessible!
  • alex broshman 100
    One of my favorite ways to explore philosophy
    I love this podcast. I didn’t quit retain a lot of my philosophy class in high school/ college. Though I have found that this podcast keeps the listener intrigued by its many nuances within each topic. It harnesses your curiosity which makes retaining these interesting concepts easy and natural.

    Creatives are Everywhere
    This podcast is an excellent way to find art and creativity in every realm of life. Science, math, the humanities—they all have art and creativity intertwined in them. Creatives are always developing their processes and adding pieces of themselves and their minds to their work, and this podcast exemplifies the beauty of finding art of every part of life. Listen to this podcast to learn about the development of creatives from all fields and walks of life.

    Wonderful podcast
    The Creative Process is a space that encourages the intersection of so many parts of culture and society. It offers really insightful and unique perspectives from each of it’s guests and every week is different! There is truly a topic for everyone and it’s a great place to engage with a vast variety of topics and disciplines.

    Breaking Barries of Stigma!
    This channel is amazing as it brings so many new perspectives. In particular the Anna Lembke one. She completely changes the way I perceived my own behaviors. She talks about intense psychological concepts in a way that allows for someone with no prior knowledge to understand. So cool! I love her casual judgment free mindset, she is truly breaking down barriers of stigma.
  • Parker Blumentritt
    Fantastic Podcast Series!
    The Creative Process is a fantastic podcast series. I love how each episode has a unique focus and each of the guests have such different backgrounds and perspectives! The breadth of stories, information, and ideas is so vast, and I am always excited to see what each new episode will be about!

    WOW!!
    I absolutely love listening to podcasts from The Creative Process. They are so informative and I love how I get to learn a lot along the way. It was a great way to see other perspectives.
  • Andrew blue man
    An Appreciated Nuance
    The podcast takes on both fresh and veteran interviews with thought provoking discussion. The podcast market is saturated with a over abundance of a similar “type” of interview or meaningless discussion. This is where The Creative Process distinguishes itself regarding arts, culture, the environment, politics, and science.
  • Lyn G. G.
    Amazing and important work!
    So inspiring, I learn so much every time I listen! I highly recommend this podcast to everyone. You are doing great work here for the world and I think everyone deserves to know about it. The same goes for all of your podcasts!
  • helChang
