The Creative Backstory is a podcast that examines artists' processes - and the why behind what they do. From musicians and visual artists to designers and creative thinkers, my guests discuss their work, their favorite ways to get work done, and all the things that go into making art work in the real world. Hosted by Kelly Planer, a professional writer who dabbles in art and music, The Creative Backstory aims to tell the story behind the story - and get to the bottom of how art is made - and why it matters.
