Ep. 24: Austin Kleon on unlocking creativity; Nils Juul-Hansen on 'Hygge'

You might know Austin Kleon through his newspaper blackout poems or maybe someone gave you a copy of one of his bestselling books, "Show Your Work" or "Steal Like an Artist" for Christmas last year. In this week's show, he shares practical advice on nurturing your creativity and finding good work habits in the new year, and why social media is one of the biggest barriers to unlocking our own creative juices. Have you heard about the Danish concept of "Hygge?" Nils Juul-Hansen is a local photographer born and raised in Denmark. He joins us to explain why Americans are so obsessed with this idea of inner warmth and intimacy. Sweet John Muehlbauer tells us about his last year playing Buddy the Elf in his annual holiday trip to New York City for charity. In this week's Webb Report, we hear from web producer Katey Psencik about why "The Holiday" and "Love Actually" have become such Christmas standbys and why "The Holiday" is the better of the two. In "A Toast," Kleon recommends taking notes in the shower with AquaNotes, Tolly shares her love of Chatbooks and Addie makes a pitch for learning to play the ukulele.
