Ep 164: Creativity to Cope: Why we need it more than ever

It's getting harder to cope. The pace, ferocity, and sadly, insanity of modern life are out of control. 24/7 we are exposed to terrifying news, and the subsequent arguments on social media, fear winning out every single time.That's why I write, that's why I draw, that's why I make these podcasts.Creativity is a fundamental pillar of human happiness and that's why I wanted to take the time to mark the release day of Stories for the Apocalypse #1: Notes on the New Normal with some thoughts on its vital role during these bizarre times.I share some personal experiences and a few favourite works that embody the lived experience.The podcast is supported by https://illustrationx.comYou can buy both 'Stories for the Apocalypse #1' and 'A Wolf in Sports Clothing' at https://bentallonwriter.com now.
