Creative Commoners

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…

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…

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

The Creative Commoners podcast has gone the way of the YouTubes! Even more ways to listen to our soothing, silky voices at work… er… in your spare time! We’re still in the starting stages, so our YouTube channel isn’t super hawt yet. Find us at TheCreativeCommoners and like us, leave an intelligent message, and most of all, have fun! You can also hit the social media button added to our list above. New episodes of the podcast will filter out to the YouTubes each week, so stay tuned for the electric audio program 9 out of 10 audiophiles prefer!

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.
