Episode 78 - Is Talent Real?

"Talent" is a word that is used a lot in the arts, but does it discredit the years of hard work and dedication that people put into their craft?  Does it discourage people to pursue their interests if they are not masterful immediately?  It's a word that has been stuck in my throat for years, and a descriptor I have been hesitant to use for a long time.  Does talent exist?  Are people born naturally adept to be good at certain things?  We discuss this and try to get to the bottom of our feelings on the subject.We also have some great listener emails, we do a couple of segments, and announce our new Patreon membership program as well as announce a fun new contest!  As a side note, the IHM drinking game is now official.  Every time we mention Gwar, Sebastian, or a Kyle, drink up!  We encourage hydration, not inebriation, so alcohol is optional. --------------------Hosts:  Jason Walton and Nick Wusz."I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli.  I Hate Music image by Jori Apedaile.Segment intro music by Jori Apedaile and Adam Stacey.Produced by Jason Walton for Earth in Sound Productions.--------------------Support the podcast by becoming a Patreon member here: IHM PatreonFollow us on socials, donate to support the podcast, listen to our playlist on Spotify, and visit us online: I Hate Music LinktreeEmail and listener suggestions to: [email protected]#ihatemusicpodcast**I Hate Music is an Earth in Sound Production**--------------------Hosts: Jason Walton and Nick Wusz.Produced by Jason Walton for Earth in Sound Productions.--------------------Support the podcast by becoming a Patreon member here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠IHM Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on socials, donate to support the podcast, and visit us online: ⁠⁠⁠⁠I Hate Music Linktree⁠⁠⁠⁠Email and listener suggestions to: ⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠- Part of the Distorted Paths Podcast Network - Hosted on Acast.
