How to Start a Podcast
One of our main goals here at the Creative Commoners Podcast is to foster creativity in all its forms. Each week we talk about how to encourage that creative spark. We have even held two creative challenges to get our listeners involved. We talk a lot our various creative projects: Chris’ webcomic, Allison’s novels, and Corey’s short stories and game development. But, until now, we haven’t gone into detail on how we produce one of our biggest creative projects, the podcast itself. This post serves as a companion to Episode 30: Creating an Electric Audio Podcast. Listen to that episode…

Episode 32: Whistle While You Work
Wherein we talk about creativity on the job! Even if you don’t have the most exciting nine-to-five in the world, there’s no reason you can’t turn it into a breeding ground for your imagination. It’s all in how you look at it. Allison talks about her interactions with strangers on the job as a way to create characters and situations in her mind. Chris talks about balancing the demands of creativity between professional and personal life, and Corey share ideas for seeking out creative endeavors in the workplace. Somewhere in the mix, we figure out the exact opposite of the…

Trading Knives for Kid Gloves: Indie Authors and Public Image
This post was syndicated from the blog at Allison’s website. I was inspired to write this post after reading the article by Jairus Reddy over at the Hobbes End blog. It basically cautions authors, particularly indie authors, from being too forthright with controversial topics (i.e. politics and religion), or making asses of themselves in social media, because it can cost them book sales. Anyway, this is a topic that has been on my mind for awhile now, and I think it’s something anybody should have to consider when they start opening themselves up to the world, be it through books…

Get NIFT Shirts
In Episode 31: King NIFTee and the Smoking Fawn, we had founder and designer of NIFT Shirts, Ryan Eldred, on our show to talk about his business, our ideas on a new social media site (ahem), games, and more. We thought it appropriate to direct you to the funny T-shirts of NIFT so you can check them out yourself. Whether an original design or a play on recent fads, you’re bound to chuckle, possibly even bark out loud, as you check out the site. NIFT Shirts

Episode 31: King NIFTee and the Smoking Fawn
Wherein we chat with guest host Ryan Eldred about his t-shirt business, NIFT Shirts! His wares have been seen in Rolling Stone Magazine, and even on The Price is Right, and he’s here to discuss the ins and outs of design, being controversial, and the challenges of being related to Chris. Corey is also mysteriously absent this week, but it’s not like we noticed much. Note: We apologize for the quality of some of the audio in this episode. That’s what we get for recording on an old phonograph. Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Website Updates in Progress
The website is continuing to undergo several changes to bring you some awesome content with an awesome design. As you can tell, we’re going full vintage with the site, and we couldn’t be happier! Well, we could be happier probably, but you know what we mean. We’re nearing completion of the revamp. Once that happens, expect to see more content beyond the podcasts, including articles, syndication of our other creative works, and more. Thanks for hanging with us.
